NPR’s All Things Considered: Dead Air Online. I heard this piece the other day on NPR. It seems that webcasting radio stations are having a very difficult way to go, not only from record companies (greedy bastards) but distribution companies as well. According to a new contract between advertisers, ad agencies, and AFTRA (The American Federation of Radio Artists) advertisers own artists an additional fee if their content is streamed across the internet. Rather than loose the revenue, hundreds of radio stations simply canned their webcasts. paxtonland radio, however will continue to bring you commercial free quality programming for nothing, to hell with all of them.
