MarketingPilot Releases Free Software Utility to Create Standard Broadcast Calendars

An offshoot of the development of MarketingPilot R6

(PRWEB) March 7, 2004 --Today, MarketingPilot Software released a free software utility that helps media buyers work with broadcast dates and standard broadcast calendars. The simple software program is available for Microsoft Windows. It can be downloaded from the MarketingPilot website located at www.marketingpilot.com.

The broadcast calendar software was developed to test OLAP (online analytical processing) functions being developed for MarketingPilot Release 6 that enable users to easily shift views of their media placements between traditional calendars, fiscal year calendars and standard broadcast calendars.

The Importance of Standard Broadcast Calendars

Standard broadcast calendars divide each year into standard periods that enable radio and TV advertisers to compare activity from month to month, and from year to year with greater consistency than standard (Julian) calendars. Today, broadcast calendars are only available in print, and its hard to find broadcast calendars that date back or forward more than a few years. The MarketingPilot software enables users to work with dates going back or forward hundreds of years, and to create custom calendars that they can quickly format and distribute as needed.
