By Adnews Staff
Toronto-based Internet portal company Sympatico-Lycos has teamed up with Internet broadcaster Iceberg Media.com, also to Toronto, to create Sympatico Radio. Broadband and dial-up Internet visitors to <http://www.music.sympatico.ca> can listen to any of four musical channels: one playing electronica, dance and techno; one playing hip-hop, R&B and reggae; one playing alternative rock and pop; and one playing classic and progressive rock. Visitors to the Web site can also read music news and reviews, browse artist biographies and participate in online chats with musicians. Sympatico is also hosting a summer concert series which will broadcast live performances from five Canadian bands. "Sympatico Radio will add another dimension to our increasingly popular music channel, and will continue to make life easier for our users by giving them the music they want, when they want it," said Nicolas Gaudreau, vice president of Sympatico.ca.
