Interesting Article on the role Commercial Radio Stations play in their local Community
“Without the benefit of the licence fee or public subsidy, commercial stations broadcast on average 10 hours 21 minutes of public service content each week, that’s 3,000 hours a week. The return on investment for advertisers is £7.70 for every £1 invested. The sector raises over £18m a year for charity. Commercial radio stations are at the heart of their communities, in every format imaginable. These facts alone should persuade anyone that some perceptions about commercial radio lag a little behind the reality.”
Grooveshark Guilt of Massive Copyright Infringement The US District Court in Manhattan has found Grooveshark of massive copyright infringement. Grooveshark CEO & CTO will face the heaviest charges which have yet to be determined. Employees who didn’t cooperate were often faced by penalties.
