(Press Release) Overland Park, KS (January 7, 2011)—Ascend Integrated Media LLC, and its operating brand Ascend Media, announce that it will partner with Orlando based Convention News Television (CNTV) to provide both video news and exhibitor sponsorship opportunities to event and convention clients.

We are extremely excited with the potential of this new partnership. This is a natural product line extension for Ascend that will serve to compliment the work we create for our clients in print, on the Internet and in mobile environments.
