RAIN: Radio And Internet Newsletter

Dear Criss,

The RIAA is lobbying Democrats at this week's national convention -- and plans to do the same at the Republican gathering next week -- pushing for a terrestrial radio performance royalty. Also present is recording artist Art Alexakis of the band Everclear, lobbying for the royalty on behalf of musicFIRST.

Find out more about the RIAA's lobbying efforts in today's issue of RAIN: Radio And Internet Newsletter, online at http://www.kurthanson.com.

Also in today's issue:

-- Microsoft has developed an in-car Wi-Fi technology that
allows for "seamless connections" and prevents signal
interruptions...

-- Two Seattle radio stations have partnered with WikiTalk.com
so that listeners can respond to on-air discussions
online...

-- Industry insider Tom Zarecki suggests a number of content
ideas broadcasters could use to replace the PSAs and
repetitive promos that plague ad breaks in terrestrial
radio streams...

Get the details in today's issue of RAIN: Radio And Internet Newsletter, at http://www.kurthanson.com.

Sincerely,

Michael Schmitt, Associate Editor
