United States Traffic Network Signs New Agreement with Entercom Communications Corp.

PHILADELPHIA, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- United States Traffic Network ("USTN" or "the Company"), the leading independent provider of broadcast traffic solutions in the United States, announced today that they have signed a new agreement with Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM), one of the country's two largest radio broadcasters. The new deal includes an equity position for Entercom in USTN. Further terms of the transaction were not disclosed. This marks the first major USTN announcement since the completion of a management-led buyout in March that transitioned ownership of the company from an international, publicly-traded ownership to a private U.S.-based company.

"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Entercom and look forward to their new role as an equity-holder as we continue to build out the new face of U.S. Traffic Network," said Ivan Shulman, Chairman and CEO, USTN.

Entercom is the first of many media groups with respect to which USTN intends to partner.

"We are pleased to announce our new partnership with USTN", said David Field, President and CEO of Entercom.  "Their new management team has moved quickly to fix their issues and establish a solid business model following the company's separation from its former corporate parent.  We look forward to participating in their future growth as they capitalize on the significant opportunities in this attractive market segment."
