- Thread starter DougF
- Start date
falling like Led Zeplins. People need to get ready its got to give soon. People need to band together and make the promised Change cause the man aint gonna do it. Of course if we as the people fought together he would only take credit for it.
It was one of their own, Joel Denver, former top-40 editor and host of future hits that started allaccess.com in 1995 and ultimately the end of R&R was mounted. Although i still received R&R as a subscription up until 2005 i never really looked at it unless a buddy had a label quote on a promo ad or a pic.
R&R put their focus in having "editors" instead of beefing up their online staff.
by the time Friday rolled around the news was 4 days old on allaccess.com
I personally miss hitmakers and gavin more.
Where neilsen really screwed up is in the release they say the website is going away, although everyone in the industry knows they are tracking music until super tuesday (November 09) so why not keep a few guys on staff and revamp their website and maybe come out with a quarterly issue or beef up a convention. There is a way to keep the brand going and re-position it

Yup, this is a stinker- but wait, there's more- though slightly off subject. Kinda surprised that Doug hasn't mentioned it.
WCBS radio ( Newsradio 88) here in NJ has broadcast quite a bit about the attempts of the artist orgs to make any radio staion that plays music PAY RADIO. This isn't one of the flash in the pan noises either- it is being seriously considered- which is why radio staions are broadcasting requests for listeners to "write their congressmen", etc..
