LoudCity Offers Affordable, “hands-off” Royalty Management for Internet Radio Stations
LoudCity introduces a licensing and royalty management solution for webcasters.
(PRWEB) October 11, 2005 -- LoudCity has introduced a comprehensive and affordable licensing and royalty management solution for Internet radio stations helping them to manage both the financial and legal responsibilities of webcasting.
A much-needed service in the growing world of online broadcasting, LoudCity works with BMI, ASCAP, SESAC and SoundExchange, to provide blanket licensing for small to mid-size Internet radio stations. Without services like LoudCity offering an affordable way to broadcast legally, webcasters would have to pay upwards of $3000 annually to these agencies.
“LoudCity was created to help these broadcasters,” explains LoudCity co-founder Brandon Casci “it’s crucial for them to be legal but at the same time unrealistic for a hobbyist webcaster to afford the necessary fees.”
Setting LoudCity apart is their commitment to station independence and freedom of content and stream host. Other licensing solutions require additional listener registration on their sites or insert unwanted advertising into broadcaster’s streams.
“This is a huge feature for LoudCity,” says John Draper of the Independent Online Radio Station Network (IORSN) a network of independently owned and operated internet radio stations “unless you pay close attention to the browser address bar, you would never know you had left my site to launch the stream from my LoudCity station page.”
LoudCity further enhances their offerings with a superior level of customer service. “We understand the importance of these stations to the broadcasters so we feel it’s crucial for our subscribers to be able to communicate easily with us.” says Casci. With forums and e-mails subscribers can easily communicate with LoudCity staff.
With all of these benefits combined, LoudCity enters the market with a solid offering and a much needed innovative spin on a necessary service. Draper says, “If you're looking for freedom from commercial interruptions, good service and the ability to go with the stream host of your choosing, LoudCity's your best bet.”
In the future, LoudCity plans on offering similar services for podcasters once legal standards surrounding the new technology are in place.
