GLOBAL MEDIA GOES ONLINE
By Adnews Staff
Global Media Inc. of Nanaimo, B.C. has announced the launch of an online independent radio station. In preparation for the station, Global has launched its on line registration center so independent artists can register to have their music heard and distributed on the station. In conjunction with a previously announced agreement with Real Networks, Global will begin broadcasting the station at <http://www.indieaudio.com> as a 24-hour-per-day radio station on March 30. Internet users who have the Real Networks G2 Player will be able to tune into the station. Consumers will be able to purchase audio files of the music heard on the station as well as other audio files available through Global Media Corp.'s partnership with Liquid Audio and the Liquid Music Network. Global is currently in the "pre-branding process" which will be supported by a 90-day campaign to identify itself to the public.
