Clear Channel Says 2,500 Artists Have Joined Site

Clear Channel Worldwide reports that more than 2,500 musical acts and up and 
coming artists have registered at the company’s NEW Music Network website, 
and many more are expected to sign up as 500+ Clear Channel radio stations 
promote the site.

This site at http://www.clearchannelnewmusicnetwork.com allows aspiring 
musical talent to reach the public and the music business with their music 
via an online service provided free of charge for musicians and consumers.

"We rolled the New Music Network out initially over seven markets and in the 
first 30 days, hundreds of bands posted their materials on the website,” 
commented Tom Owens, senior vice president of Programming for Clear Channel 
Radio. “Over the last few weeks we have expanded the promotion to over 500 
stations and the response has been exciting. We believe there is a 
tremendous depth of talent and we're excited that this site will expose the 
music industry to a variety of new artists.”

"We are very proud of the excitement around the New Music Network because 
we're advocates for musicians and their music, and because our Radio and 
Entertainment businesses are looking for new artists and new music all the 
time," added Clear Channel President/COO Mark Mays. “Our mission and charter 
in this area is simple: exposure and growth for new music. We think this 
program is going to open up extraordinary opportunities for musicians 
everywhere.”
