Comprehensive tools for broadcast sales

DDS meets the diverse needs of TV and radio reps, handling everything from demographic research to order management and posting, it's the perfect tool for station groups and local station sales.

It's easy for local stations to get up and running quickly, and they manage all orders in one place.

Improve communication with buyers

DDS' sales systems receive orders and send offers electronically using DARE, the only protocol for two-way electronic data interchange (EDI) between buyers and sellers. DARE is the gold standard in EDI and preferred by most large agencies. The systems also accept orders in TVB XML format.

Easy online station connectivity

With StationXpress’s secure, Web-based connection, reps and stations communicate without any extra hardware, software or IT staff at the station. Orders are transferred electronically to the station's traffic system, for faster entry. The flexible, customizable application prioritizes the station's work.

Fast and easy electronic posting

The EZPost application pulls exact times and invoiced spots from each station's traffic system. There's no need to rely on paper or to manually enter reconciled spots from outside the system.

With the launch of the Estrella TV network and the addition of over 20 affiliate stations, it's vital that we implement an electronic order management system. We also want to offer the best possible service to our agency clients, especially as we reach out to an expanding customer base.
