Road Runner Content From Local Internet City Guide
MILWAUKEE -- In a true "David working with Goliath" partnership, OnMilwaukee.com, LLC today announced its exclusive involvement with Time Warner, Inc. and its new cable-modem service in southeastern Wisconsin, Road Runner.
Road Runners' start/home page on the Internet, www.wi.rr.com, will feature local content provided by OnMilwaukee.com, Milwaukee's best Internet city guide. Subscribers to Road Runner's cable modem broadband service will not only enjoy high-speed Internet access over cable lines, they will get access to a Southeastern Wisconsin's best local entertainment, features, movie guide, traffic cameras and more, all powered by OnMilwaukee.com.
"This web-based partnership is ground breaking for Milwaukee. As the city's only comprehensive local Internet City Guide, it is a privledge for us to be working with the city's largest media company. We look forward to working with Time Warner and Road Runner to provide the creative local content that users of OnMilwaukee.com have come to expect," said Jon Krouse, one of the owners and VP-Business Development at OnMilwaukee.com, LLC.
OnMilwaukee.com is providing Road Runner with the following content, which will be integrated into www.wi.rr.com:
Road Runner allows subscribers to experience direct access to the Internet, without the need for a telephone line or an Internet Service Provider. Because the service is delivered over the same cable lines that already run into the home, users will never have to dial-in, login, experience busy signals or be kicked offline, as often happens when connecting via a phone hook up.
"We are extremely excited about Road Runner. Our new local home page has a real Southeastern Wisconsin feel thanks to OnMilwaukee.com. Located at wi.rr.com, our site features the use of streaming video, allowing visitors to experience local Milwaukee attractions as never before. In addition, the site features local events, news, business, sports and restaurant reviews -- all provided by OnMilwaukee.com," said Bev Greenberg, VP Community and Government Relations for Time Warner Milwaukee.
OnMilwaukee.com, LLC is Milwaukee's best Internet City Guide, located at www.onmilwaukee.com. Featuring more than 500 bars and restaurants, festival guides, a live movie guide, traffic cameras, restaurant reviews by Willard Romantini, an event calendar, weather, news, exclusive features and much more, OnMilwaukee.com is a true one stop shop for Milwaukee information.
