MSN Radio is an aggregation of U.S. and international broadcast and 'Net -only streams in various categories, and it offers a free trial of MSN's $4.99 -per -month Radio Plus service. The beta also includes a "Local Stations" category, which is not, as one might think, a collection of broadcast streams, but rather 957 Microsoft- programmed webcasts that are presented as being "like" the Hey, It's A CD With A broadcast stations in various cities, but "with fewer ads, no DJ chatter and less repetition."

rowing up, most of us learned the three R's in elementary school "Too many programmers today try to lead by fear. They're not necessarily leaders. Instead, they're dictators, motivating their staff out of fear of losing their jobs - reading, writing and arithmetic (we realize now that they weren't rather than motivating them by bringing them into their vision." actually three R's, but it made it easier to remember).

You should have Beyond the basics, McSwain says there are other elements that make a station personal goals. But remember, in order for the station to win, you have to play as stand out from the cookie -cutter sound of much of radio today. "Some of the a team.

SBR Triple A Listener - Survey Findings One of the key findings of SBR Creative Media's survey of Triple A listeners on radio -listening and music -buying habits is that perhaps radio needs to be as concerned as (or more than) the record industry about listeners who have adopted music downloading and iPods/MP3 players. How Triple A Listeners Other key findings from the research project: Listeners have many more choices for listening to music than existed even a few years ago. iPod/MP3 player users (13% of the total survey group) and Hear And Buy Music downloaders (21% of the total) spend far less time listening to music on the radio than the total survey group. iPod/MP3 player users and downloaders are more likely to buy CDs than the average.

Most atrial fibrillation- related strokes could be prevented with anti -coagulation treatments. Yet, up to two- thirds of AF patients who suffer these strokes are not prescribed anti -coagulants or blood thinners upon hospital discharge. National Stroke Association is launching Beat the Odds, a national awareness campaign urging consumers to ask their doctors about the risks of AF and the importance of treatment.
