BILLS DIGEST AND ZINIO ANNOUNCE DIGITAL VERSION


ROCHESTER, NY – February 3, 2010 – The official publication of the Buffalo Bills, Bills Digest, and Zinio, the world’s leader in digital publishing, technology, distribution and services, today announced a partnership that offers a weekly, digital version identical to Bills Digest’s print edition. The digital edition is available at (zinio.com/BillsDigest) every Monday during the football season starting at 2 a.m. EST.

“The Buffalo Bills are an international brand with a global reach and, now, through our partnership with Zinio, we can deliver Bills Digest to fans even before the physical publication gets delivered to the post office,” said David Jones, Publisher, Bills Digest.

"Now, Buffalo Bills fans can read their issue the moment it is released by the publisher. No more waiting for the mail to come," said Rich Maggiotto, President & CEO, Zinio. “Even better, with Zinio’s sharing feature, Bills Digest’s digital readers can post and swap articles and images of their favorite players to Facebook and other social-media outlets.”
