SAN DIEGO, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- WealthTV, the premier luxury lifestyle and entertainment network in digital and high definition, today announced that Rentrak Corporation (Nasdaq: RENT), will receive its "Supplier of the Year" award for the company's TV Essentials service and support. WealthTV recognizes a single supplier with its prestigious "Supplier of the Year" award acknowledging the vendors positive impact on WealthTV's business.
