October 7, 2004 - Pathfire Inc. announced an agreement with NewsProNet to distribute their strategic content products to NewsProNet's more than 150 local broadcast affiliate subscribers. NewsProNet is already delivering their market-exclusive SweepsFeed(TM) and Discoveries & Breakthroughs Inside Science (R) reports via Pathfire's Digital Media Gateway(TM) (DMG) and will be launching their new Heads Up! consumer watchdog service in November. Pathfire's DMG, an automated IP multicast distribution platform, distributes and manages content to over 1,100 broadcast stations in the US and Canada.
