24/7 Media, Inc. [TFSM], a financially-strapped player in interactive marketing, today announced that Christopher Manning has joined the Company as Senior Vice President of National Media Sales.

In his new position, Mr. Manning will be responsible for all 24/7 Media Sales throughout the United States. This market has become central to the firm's future, following its shedding of several business units and an impending delisting of the firm from the Nasdaq (a process that has been temporarily suspended as a result of Nasdaq's new listing conditions).

Mr. Manning brings over 20 years of Media Sales experience to 24/7 Media. Most recently, Mr. Manning was employed at Gemstar-TV Guide where he led the sales effort for the TV Guide Channel, TV Guide Online and TV Guide Interactive. He also was a Sales Manager at the Weather Channel and at CNN. Mr. Manning, who began his career as a Media Planner at Benton and Bowles, has a degree in Communications from Boston University.
