Google Expands to Radio, Buys Radio Ad Management Company

i_dmarc_logo.gif

Cnet reports Google will acquire radio digital services provider dMarc for $1.13 billion. dMarc helps radio stations manage ad inventory, deliver song/artist/station text information over broadcast and help advertisers manage their radio campaigns. Pressumably, Google will us dMarc to deliver its AdWords text ads over the system dramatically extending the search giant’s reach into another medium and to many more ear/eyeballs. Maybe the day will come when a media planner can “buy the world” at the touch of a button.
