Turning Announces Alliance with Quick Tally® Interactive Systems

Quick Tally has been the leader in audience response for broadcast television since 1989. With a wealth of experience in the entertainment industry, TV shows like America's Got Talent, America's Funniest Home Videos, Last Comic Standing and CBS News Specials have all used Quick Tally Interactive Systems for instant audience polling during taped segments and live broadcasts. Quick Tally is pushing industry limits and plans to survey large live events where attendees will be able to use ResponseCards RF keypads to provide instant feedback.

Alan Warshaw, President of Quick Tally said, "We were so impressed by the innovative functionality of Turning's product offerings that we decided to join forces. Turning's ResponseCard hardware will give us the ability to expand our business and better serve our customers. We now can deliver voting on a scale that has never been done before."

Turning's ResponseCard RF keypads are lightweight, credit card sized devices, durable under extreme conditions and optimized for small, medium and large polling environments. Taking advantage of the latest in audience response technology advancements, the keypads provide features and functionality required to ensure that the audience response transmissions of 1000's or in large locations are accurately, timely and effortlessly transmitted to thumb drive sized receivers. With a total weight of one ounce, including batteries, the result is optimized portability. The popularity of ResponseCard is apparent, as more than two million ResponseCards have been sold to multiple markets and around the world.

"This alliance between the largest manufacturer and distributor of response technology and the largest provider of response technology to the entertainment industry will be good for Turning, good for Quick Tally and good for the entertainment industry. Our joint approach and combined capacity will undoubtedly facilitate many more opportunities in that market.
