Creative Digital Media today announced the launch of Radio Electric (http://www.radioelectric.com), an Internet radio channel and "collaborative music network." Conceived as a new approach to Internet radio, Radio Electric broadcasts an exciting, fresh and varied mix of new independent artists in a wide range of genres. At the same time, Radio Electric is modeled as an online social network, providing airplay and promotional opportunities for participating artists, both locally and nationally.
With the goal of broadcasting the music of "micro-independent artists" while identifying licensing and distribution opportunities for them, Radio Electric is a collaboration between the broadcaster and participating musicians. "As the broadcaster, we provide airplay and an Internet technology infrastructure to facilitate artist promotion", said Richard Sprince, principal of Creative Digital Media and creator of Radio Electric. "The artists collaborate by providing music and by telling their audiences to listen for them on Radio Electric. They help each other by sharing audiences and contacts. In the process, everyone's music gets heard by more people." Creative Digital Media's proprietary web technology aids in email promotional efforts. To that end, artists contribute listener lists for email blasts or forward blasts to their own lists themselves.... (Continue reading)
