The channels will not just be available as HD2 stations though, they are part of a total audio, video and text package that will serve Internet channels, Web sites, iPods, satellite broadcasting and in-vehicle navagation systems as well.The new programming was created by CC's Content Research & Development Group, and is the result of "a previously secret initiative" known as "the Format Lab." The Format Lab is made up of veteran programmers and is headed up by content EVP Tom Owens and Online Music & Radio head Evan Harrison. The organization is described as a "virtual community" made up of over 200 programmers and production vets."We have become agnostic about delivery and are completely passionate about content," said Clear Channel Radio President/CEO John Hogan. "And we'll continue to lead the radio industry on to new platforms. Radio programming is the most engaging and compelling media today. Our power to connect with, and hold, consumers will continue to reveal itself as we supplement our outstanding AM/FM properties with programming for new devices."Clear Channel promises that a number of non-professional radio programmers will also be involved in many of the new stations, such as a personal trainer as part of the workout channels or a Broadway vet programming a channel of show tunes.Broadcasters will be able to use the CC content however they see fit, from just running it as-is to adding in their own customized, local content. "We've created this programming to give broadcasters the most flexibility and the best return on investment," said Hogan. "The massive amounts of programming needed to feed rapidly growing numbers of HD2 multicast channels, Internet streams and other near-term opportunities dwarfs the real estate that our industry had to fill with the advent of FM. By making extraordinary programming available even more broadly, the radio industry will be able to fully http://www.fmqb.com/ac.asp (3 av 7)2006-10-25 19:17:36 “Flying Into The Sun” NFE 14 3) TOMMY JAMES “Hold The Fire” Aura 10 Updated: 10.18.06 K T TUNSTALL “Suddenly I See” Virgin JACK JOHNSON “Upside Down” Brushfire/Universal-Republic JAMES BLUNT “Goodbye” Atlantic RACONTEURS “Steady As She Goes” V2 PAUL KAWABORI "Don't Stop Now" PK SCISSOR SISTERS “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’” Universal Motown FMQB: Radio Industry News, Music Industry Updates, Arbitron Ratings, Music News and more! capitalize on the opportunities we are creating for ourselves daily." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------HD Radio Offerings Expand The HD Radio Alliance has revealed it is planning to almost double its HD offerings nationally, with 22 additional markets added, including 42 of the top 50. This second wave of markets brings to total number of HD channels up to 450. Clear Channel specifically hopes to have 100 HD channels up and running by September. "One of the most exciting things about HD Radio is the ability to offer innovative new content customized for each individual local market," said HD Digital Radio Alliance President/CEO Peter Ferrara. "Unlike any other audio entertainment source, radio is all about serving the local community and these new HD2 channels will do just that." The 22 new HD Radio markets are: Phoenix Minneapolis San Diego, CA Nassau-Suffolk, NY St. Louis Tampa Denver Pittsburgh Cleveland Sacramento Riverside, CA Kansas City San Antonio Salt Lake City Milwaukee Providence, RI Columbus, OH Charlotte, NC Middlesex-Union-Somerset, NJ Las Vegas Orlando Norfolk, VA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------http://www.fmqb.com/ac.asp (4 av 7)2006-10-25 19:17:36 GOO GOO DOLLS “Let Love In" Warner Bros.
