FrameRate is a leading provider of software and systems used to create, manage,
schedule, deliver and display information on public and private cable television networks.
A significant part of our growth is due to referrals from happy customers and industry
associates. These "Bird Dogs" earn points for qualified activities that promote
FrameRate products and services. The points can be redeemed for goods and services offered
by FrameRate.
A "Bird Dog" is any person or organization that provides FrameRate with a
referral or participates in programs that generate qualified referrals.
