SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- R. L. Polk & Co. announced today that Comcast Spotlight, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, has entered into a multi-year agreement to utilize PolkInsight(TM) for Media, a web-based platform that provides detailed trending, demographic and geographic detail on new and used vehicle registration activity, to support its advertising sales operations.
