Chantilly, VA - Sep 14, 2006 - BIA Financial Network has acquired Oklahoma City-based Digital Information Network (DIN), a provider of weather and alerting desktop applications. DIN will operate under the newly created BIA Information Network that will focus on delivering Active Access, a private-label desktop application for instantly delivering news, weather, alerts, promotions and other content directly to the computer desktop. Active Access places a media company's brand directly in front of its audience, offering a uniquely powerful way to deliver information of value, deepen brand recognition and generate new forms of revenue.
