Cars.com and RadioShack Join MotorWeek Sponsorship Line-Up;

OWINGS MILLS, Md.--Oct. 1, 20057, 2005--MotorWeek, the award-winning PBS automotive series kicked off its 25th anniversary season launch with two new sponsors, cars.com and RadioShack. The two national sponsor deals follow the August announcement of Dunlop's sponsorship, bringing the total MotorWeek corporate sponsors to four, including The Stanley Works.

As part of the cars.com sponsorship, the online automotive marketplace offers the first-ever place for consumers to view MotorWeek video road tests after the weekly broadcast. Cars.com will feature MotorWeek's road tests of current models as well as 2005 and select popular, older models. The alliance exposes the MotorWeek brand to cars.com's seven million unique visitors each month, while giving visitors one-click access to as many as 170 new or updated road tests in the first year alone. Cars.com also receives on-air broadcast sponsor messages on MotorWeek.

"As a MotorWeek sponsor, cars.com has a unique opportunity to build our brand with automotive enthusiasts and to drive quality shoppers to our site," said Mitch Golub, president of cars.com. "This new partnership provides cars.com visitors greater information to assist with their car-buying decisions by providing access to MotorWeek's video road tests. Cars.com is proud to be the only source on the Web where shoppers can view the most respected video road tests available anywhere."

The RadioShack sponsorship promotes the retailer's innovative Vex(TM) Robotics Design System, launched in April 2005, and sets for a bigger promotional push this holiday season. A Vex(TM) in-store promotional video, playing in almost 5,000 company stores nationwide, leverages the MotorWeek brand among RadioShack's electronics-savvy customers. The retailer expands its reach into the automotive consumer market through on-air sponsor credits on MotorWeek.

John Davis, MotorWeek host and executive producer, said, "MotorWeek viewers are opinion leaders, so when asked where to go to buy a car or for a gift suggestion for the tech-savvy person, the MotorWeek viewer will have influence and credibility. Add to that the known brand loyalty of PBS viewers, and you have a powerful media buy for our national sponsors. We are delighted to welcome cars.com and RadioShack to the MotorWeek team."
