Media Source is an affiliate of News Data Service (NDS) , a company composed of independent media monitors who cover nearly all of the 212 U.S. media markets, as well as numerous foreign countries.

Through our membership in NDS, Media Source offers comprehensive TV, radio, and Internet monitoring services. Our personalized service, attention to detail, and competitive rates position us as a welcome alternative to larger media monitoring conglomerates.

The power of NDS lies in a proprietary Web-based search engine, tied to an extensive database of local and national news and entertainment programming. Within seconds, a keyword search in the NDS database can generate a detailed report of your broadcast news and entertainment program mentions, including the station/network, date, time, length of segment, and the closed caption text or a logging description of the segment. For an additional fee, we can provide ad value analysis for your TV coverage, including the Nielsen total audience figures for each broadcast, and the dollar equivalency ad values.

Segments can be obtained in the form of DVD and VHS tape compilations. We also offer same-day delivery of TV and radio news segments from most of the markets in the NDS system, via our Digital Transfer service. This enables us to provide high-quality digital video files (DVD-quality MPEG-2, QuickTime, or streaming Windows Media files) that you can download to your desktop. If you need a DVD or VHS tape, next-day service is available via overnight delivery by FedEx or UPS.

Radio news coverage is now available in many of the larger media markets within NDS. Depending on the segment length, you can get your radio clips via e-mail, or by digital download.

We offer secure transfer of your digital TV and radio clips via our in-house FTP site. We provide you with simple instructions for downloading digital video and audio segments. It's the fastest way to see or hear your TV and radio coverage, and it eliminates the time and expense of shipping.

Our 24/7 NewsLink service provides instant access, both online and through automatic e-mail notification, to your organization's broadcast news coverage. Our Internet Monitoring service offers the same kind of access to your coverage on more than 25,000 Web sites worldwide. We offer monthly subscriptions for 24/7 NewsLink and Internet Monitoring.
