DMI Entertainment Programming, a division of Disc Marketing and a leading entertainment marketing company, today announced it will produce exclusive music programming for Ted, United Airlines' new low-fare service launching in Denver on February 12, 2004 and Washington-Dulles April 7, 2004. This partnership extends DMI Entertainment Programming's relationship with United Airlines, building on its history of providing international, award-winning, on-board audio programming for all United Airlines flights since early 1998.

"With the take-off of Ted, we are providing travelers a compelling alternative to the status quo in low-fare airline experiences," said Sean Donohue, vice president of Ted. "Flying with Ted promises to be a warm, friendly, pleasant experience, and offering our customers top-notch entertainment while they're in the air is a key part of delivering on that promise. DMI Entertainment Programming has proven through its long-standing relationship with United Airlines that it understands the personality of our brand and the preferences of our customers."
