HE may not possess have the arrogant, laddish
attitude of Chris Moyles or the psuedo-smugness of Radio 1's regular indie
commentators Zane Lowe and Jo Whiley, but at least Tane Piper can boast his own
cult show and a worldwide audience.
His small flat in Meadowbank may be a far cry
from the sophisticated set-up at the BBC's Yalding House, but while Moyles and
his cronies communicate with the nation from enclosed studios jammed full of
expensive mixing desks, the 24-year-old multimedia student at Telford College is
more likely to be found in front of his PC and a humble microphone.
The Internet
continues to relentlessly drain participants and market share from traditional
media outlets. Fmqb.com reports that, increasingly, radio listeners are going to
a radio station’s Web site to access streaming radio and podcasts.
Where does the broadcasting revolution go from here?
In the heyday of radio, the wireless was the
centre of people's lives. The image of families gathered around their radio
set is a familiar one -- listening to a broadcast was a group activity. "When
they say The Radio, they don't mean ... a man in a studio," wrote EB White,
author of children's classic Charlotte's Web, in the 1940s. "They refer
to a pervading and somewhat godlike presence which has come into their lives
and homes. It is a mighty attractive idol."

Intellectual Property and Antitrust: Music Performing Rights in Broadcasting 3
As a second key modification, Section XI of AFJ2 entirely dispenses with an amendment to the original Decree known as the "1960 Order". Recognizing ASCAP's then-control of 85 percent of all catalogued music compositions, the "1960 Order" was designed to govern ASCAP's arrangements and operating procedures regarding its member writers. The Order constrained principally the weights used to divide ASCAP's royalty pool among its membership for different uses of music (e.g, feature vs. commercial), but also prescribed rules for voting, performance surveys, and mechanisms for resolving disputes among members. These rules were to be made public and changes submitted to the Department or Rate Court for approval. Nonetheless, ASCAP's relations with its soundtrack and commercial writers have been quite contentious and the Rate Court has often declined jurisdiction.
