 "I have found that Abacast has gone above and beyond to earn our business," said Brian Foster, VP of NTR for Next Media.  "Our customized player started out as a simple sketch on an Excel spreadsheet.  Abacast's industry knowledge, including revenue optimization and user-experience innovation, enabled them to build a differentiated, world class player that is critical to our online radio business.  They worked very hard to implement every piece of functionality that we dreamed up.  When our radio markets have a question, they usually get a response in the same day.  That is critical to me."
