Sad news came floating in late last week regarding LocalVision digital signage. The company, based out of Olympia, WA was run by Jim Coran and a great enthusiastic team. We got word from Morgan Runyon this last week that the company has closed its doors due to the economic downturn.

We worked with Jim, Sandy, Morgan and the gang on some rebranding, SMS mobile marketing solutions, and reseller opps. earlier this year. So, it was sad news to us that they’ve had to close up shop. LocalVision has done some great work running its own network as well as partnering with digital signage networks across the country.

With the recent announcement regarding a change of the guard for Wireless Ronin (along with their somewhat shaky financial situation), it will be interesting to see who survives when the smoke clears from the financial crisis America is going through at the moment.

We wish the whole team good luck in their future endeavors.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 26, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:RNIN), a Minneapolis-based worldwide digital signage provider, today announced that it has entered a three-year agreement to provide its RoninCast(r) digital signage solution to the Ontario Hockey League’s Windsor Spitfires. The RoninCast solution will be implemented throughout the new Windsor Family Credit Union (WFCU) Centre in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, which will serve as the home arena to the Spitfires upon its opening in late 2008.

“We are very excited to bring a high-tech edge to the WFCU Centre arena with our RoninCast digital signage network. This system will allow the Spitfires team to meet a variety of communication needs all through one platform. Our Wireless Ronin office located in Windsor is especially excited to be able to support their hometown hockey team,” said Robert Whent, president of Wireless Ronin Technologies Canada. “This is a great example of the success we’re seeing across various industries which, in turn, is driving the growth of our company.”

Twenty-nine NEC LCD screens using RoninCast digital signage software will be located throughout the facility to provide an enhanced experience for visiting sports fans. By using RoninCast’s scheduling and display zoning features, the Windsor Spitfires will be able to broadcast game coverage and other facility and event information throughout the venue, as well as provide a new advertising revenue source for the team. The scheduling and management of content will be performed by Wireless Ronin from the Windsor office.

“The RoninCast displays are going to be a key element in creating a high-energy and exciting atmosphere for our team’s games,” said Bob Boughner, a former professional National Hockey League player, and the current president, general manager and head coach of the Windsor Spitfires. “With this system we will be able to give corporate partners an outstanding opportunity to reach out to an amazing target market as well as enhance the game experience in the concourse areas by having the ability to broadcast the games to spectators anywhere in the facility. Having this company right here in Windsor played a big part in us choosing Wireless Ronin.”

“With the acquisition of Windsor, Ontario-based McGill Digital Solutions last August, we have been able to add an incredible team of talent that is allowing us to reach customers worldwide in a new way,” said Jeffrey Mack, chairman, president and CEO of Wireless Ronin Technologies.

The new 302,000-square-foot WFCU Centre facility features a spectator bowl arena with a capacity of 6,500 visitors, and will also include three community ice rinks and other multi-use facilities. As the new home of the popular Spitfires hockey team, the WFCU Centre will host 34 OHL home games per season, averaging approximately 5,000 spectators per game. Additionally, the venue will be host to the 2008/2009 OHL All Star game next February, and is expected to regularly host concerts and other special events.

A smaller company who’s claim to fame are those quiz programs that are so popular at bars and louder restaurants around the country, these guys have been working hard to reach profitability for a while now. Working… but not quite there yet, as this press release notes. Revenues declined 8% from the same time last year to $7M even, though they had an operating loss of “only” $2.1M — seems small compared to Planar, but then again, this time last year NTN only lost $377K.

Chrysler LLC Chooses Wireless Ronin’s Digital Signage Solution for iShowroom Interactive Program

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) — Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:RNIN), a Minneapolis-based worldwide digital signage provider, announced today it has been selected by Chrysler LLC to develop an interactive digital signage program for dealer showroom applications called iShowroom.

“I am very excited to announce our selection by Chrysler as a significant step into the automotive market with our RoninCast(r) for Automotive digital signage product,” said Jeffrey Mack, chairman, president and CEO of Wireless Ronin Technologies. “Our ability to provide a complete interactive solution designed specifically for the automobile industry with our revolutionary technology provides a unique experience for Chrysler customers.”

The iShowroom program has been designed as a Point-Of-Sale advertising and sales support tool to provide product information and to increase dealership sales. It can be used by dealership sales personnel to lead sales presentations for consumers, but it is also intuitive enough for consumers to navigate on their own to learn more about the vehicles and features that interest them.

“The iShowroom program developed by Wireless Ronin has seen an overwhelming initial response from our dealer network,” said C. Kip Goulding, Manager, e-learning and product information for Chrysler Academy. “This tool literally puts the entire showroom inventory at the finger tips of our consumers and serves as an excellent sales tool for our dealership sales personnel. Being able to move forward with a single company that can provide end-to-end solutions is a great benefit to our company and our dealers.”

Chrysler’s digital signage program is expected to be installed at select dealerships in late 2008 and will be made available to nearly 3,500 dealership locations across the U.S. and Canada in 2009. Each participating dealership showroom will be outfitted with one or more 46 inch NEC interactive displays powered by RoninCast(r) digital signage.
