METRO NETWORKS’
REALTRAFFIC WEB SERVICE
EXCEEDS 30 MILLION PAGE VIEWS
-- WTOP-AM Washington DC Leads The Pack --

New York, NY - August 9, 2005 - Metro Networks, with its subsidiary, SmartRoute Systems, both Westwood One (NYSE:WON) companies, together with Maptuit® Corporation, announced today that their RealTraffic™ web service has exceeded 30 million website page views this calendar year. Of all the Radio, TV, Newspaper, and State Departments of Transportation using RealTraffic, WTOP-AM listeners in Washington DC, were responsible for almost 3,800,000 page views, this year alone. All of this coming in less than nine months since debuting the service.

Stations using RealTraffic in addition to WTOP-AM include, WINS-AM, WNBC-TV (New York), KTTV-TV (Los Angeles) WUSA-TV and WRC-TV (Washington, DC), The Washington Post and numerous others. In addition, RealTraffic powers THE VIACOM NEWS TELEVISION STATIONS’ online traffic information service, to help commuters make better-informed travel decisions as they navigate through traffic around their markets on a daily basis.

“Traffic is the #1 thing that we cover. It is the DNA of WTOP,” said WTOP’s Jim Farley, Vice President of News and Programming. “In Washington DC quality of life is defined by where you live, where you work and how long it take to get from one to the other. Traffic is the biggest draw to the station. It’s traffic, then news - in that order. RealTraffic is a very important weapon in our arsenal. It is the biggest entry point for our website (wtopnews.com), and ours is a very serious web operation, garnering two Edward R. Murrow Awards for best radio website and billing close to one million dollars in ad revenue this year alone. And our listeners are extremely pleased. While nothing can be updated as fast as radio broadcasts, RealTraffic comes awfully close and there are very few products on the web that can say that.”

“The success of RealTraffic is yet another example of Metro Networks’ continued commitment to remaining on the cutting edge of innovative traffic & information services,” said Chuck Bortnick, Westwood One Co-COO. “RealTraffic is the next step in the evolution of Metro Networks’ web traffic products and is quickly becoming in-demand for radio, TV and any other media with a serious traffic information website commitment. RealTraffic gives them the tools they need to stay competitive, significantly increase their website traffic, deliver the most accurate, up-to-the-minute traffic information to their audience, as well as develop an incremental revenue stream.”

Westwood One and Maptuit have developed the RealTraffic service by leveraging the core strengths of both companies. Built on Westwood One’s up-to-date traffic information, along with Maptuit’s sophisticated database of the North American road network, RealTraffic offers personalized traffic content to ease the driving experience for commuters, travelers, and professional drivers. With street-level directions integrated with traffic incident information, RealTraffic also allows drivers to choose alternate routes and avoid problem traffic thereby making the commuting experience less painful. Together, Westwood One and Maptuit have developed RealTraffic as a “must have” traffic service to ease the commuting experience and aid in trip planning for the professional driver.

By using RealTraffic, commuters who subscribe to the service are able to set up personalized accounts where they can enter locations such as “work” and “home”, as well as define trips between them such as “home to the gym on weekdays at 7:30AM”, or “work to home, weekdays between 5:30PM and 7PM”. At the specified time intervals, the RealTraffic service checks each trip for traffic incidents and notifies the commuter of any traffic advisory that will impact their trip using a SMS (Short Message Service) or e-mail alert. Using the website, the commuter will have the ability to request an alternate route that avoids congestion.
