“If a band's fans say they remind them of U2; then that band can now target airplay to U2 fans only.” Non-Commercial Radio Stations. Updated Oct 15, 2013 Please note the new URL for this page -- -- and adjust your links accordingly. I am a firm believer in independent, non-commercial community radio. The most interesting and creative radio in North America is invariably found over on the left-hand side of the dial, those frequencies between 87 and 92 mHz that in the U.S. are reserved for educational, community and noncommercial use. No matter where you are, if you twiddle your dial over on the left, you're bound to find good, eclectic radio programming, an oasis from the vast wasteland that is commercial radio in this country.

If you're hitting the road, find those stations here! NOTE to radio station webmasters: While compiling this list, I was astonished at the number of radio stations that do not list their broadcast frequency on their web sites.

Australia Ireland. Overview of Licensing. EMI Music Publishing is nothing without the songwriters whose hard work and creativity forms the basis of the 1.3 million songs in our catalog. It’s our job to ensure that we create as many opportunities as possible for them and their music, and we make full use of our comprehensive knowledge of music and brands to achieve that. But the field of music licensing has traditionally been notoriously difficult for clients to navigate, with the users of music struggling to find their way through the maze of rights and clearances in order to get access to the songs they need. EMI Music Publishing is committed to changing that, aiming to make music licensing as easy as possible by working in partnership with clients across all sectors.

We have teams of dedicated music specialists working in offices across the globe who understand the intricacies of every market and licensing sector, and who work hand-in-hand with clients across the creative industries every step of the way.

Email By George Howard(Follow George on Twitter) We talk a lot about the importance of understanding copyright, and, in particular, understanding how revenue flows from the bundle of rights that a copyright holder is automatically granted upon fixing an original work in a tangible medium. That is, a copyright holder of a song (the ©), potentially has revenue flow to her whenever someone desires to reproduce or distribute her song—the rights of distribution and reproduction being two of the six exclusive rights automatically granted to a songwriter when she creates an original composition and fixes it in a tangible medium.

In fact, we show—over and over again—that it is the writer of the song, as opposed to the performer, who stands to receive the vast amount of revenue from the exploitation of a song. So…you may be asking: how do the performers make money? Historically, the performers only made money from the record labels if they had recouped any advance that the labels paid them.

Best Practices for Tweeting at Live Events and Industry Conferences. Industry events like trade shows, conferences and conventions have always been excellent opportunities for networking and lead generation, but the rise of Twitter has given marketers the ability to reach and interact with countless attendees without mobilizing their entire staff. Live-tweeting an event isn't without its pitfalls, however, and should be approached with as much care and consideration as the design of your booth, apparel and giveaways. Here are a few tips to ensure you don't commit any Twitter faux pas at your next industry event. 1. Split Up The Work Prior to arriving at the event, decide who will be managing the brand’s Twitter account and who will be tweeting from their personal account(s).

Consider having one representative tweet from the booth and another from the informational sessions. 2. Unless you have something unique and/or timely happening, avoid soliciting booth traffic directly. 3. 4. 5. 6. Connect: Authored by: Steven Shattuck See complete profile.
