HealthDay TV Daily Video Reports Surpass 1.2 Million Views on MSN Health & Fitness Channel

Norwalk, Connecticut, USA (July 13, 2010) - HealthDay, a leading syndicator of health news, announced that that its daily HealthDay TV videos have received more than 1.2 million views since debuting on the MSN Health & Fitness portal in 2010. These results reinforce the value that quality, credible consumer video services can provide to premium online destinations.

The daily updates on the latest medical and health topics, co-produced with NewsProNet, appear on MSN Health & Fitness pages. The videos are also accessible within a searchable MSN video archive and are selected as "Editors Picks" by MSN Health & Fitness editors.

"The HealthDay TV reports provide clear, concise and actionable information vetted by one of the leading consumer health information services," said Jeri Condit, senior health editor for MSN Health & Fitness. "HealthDay TV is an important part of our video content offering."

"We are thrilled that MSN works closely with HealthDay TV to provide consumers with up-to-date, reliable health information in a rich media environment," said Dan McKillen, CEO HealthDay.

Hosted by Dr. Cindy Haines, a board-certified family physician and chief medical officer of HealthDay, the daily programs take highly technical findings from major medical journals, such as JAMA, and translate them into concise and compelling reports for consumers. The video reports also are featured on Web sites of leading health care organizations, including the National Institutes of Health and MedlinePlus, a service of the National Library of Medicine, and US News and World Report.
