RollingStone.com and RadioWave.com Launch Definitive Internet Radio; 'Rolling
Stone Radio' to Be Syndicated Across the Web
CHICAGO, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- RollingStone.com, an EMusic Web site and
the Internet's premier authority on music and popular culture, and
RadioWave.com today announced the launch of "Rolling Stone Radio."
RadioWave.com, a leading Internet radio network, developed, designed and
programmed the multi-channel radio offering which will be featured at
RollingStone.com.
Rolling Stone Radio expands RollingStone.com's comprehensive music
offerings, which include artist features and interviews, music news, album
reviews, and photo galleries on over 5,000 artists. The interactive radio
platform allows fans to view artist/band biographies, photos and
discographies, click to purchase CDs, as well as find tour dates and ticket
information.
At the launch of Rolling Stone Radio there will be 20 different audio
channels of genre-based music and content running the gamut from indie to
classic rock, hip-hop to pop. Special content culled from the pages of
Rolling Stone Magazine will also be the source of customized, music
programming. The first of these "special content" channels, titled "Pop 100,"
will begin to stream on Rolling Stone Radio on November 17 to coincide with
the issue of Rolling Stone Magazine that ranks the top 100 pop songs of all
time. Rolling Stone Radio will allow fans to listen to the entire list 24x7.
RadioWave.com will also syndicate the new branded music service to
e-commerce, content, and portal sites across the Web. Rolling Stone Radio
will feature RadioWave.com's iSpot(TM) advertising. The radio service allows
real-time, seamless coordination of visual and audio messages that combine the
branding effectiveness of a radio ad with the interactivity of a banner ad.
"The launch of Rolling Stone Radio allows fans to listen to the music and
musicians they are reading about on our site," said Chris Henger, general
manager of RollingStone.com. "RadioWave.com's top-quality service is a rich
media environment that greatly enhances our user's online music experience."

and we are proud to provide their fans with a unique listening experience,"
said Bill Pearson, CEO of RadioWave.com. "Rolling Stone Radio will serve a
very broad audience of committed music lovers, and is a key component of our
rapidly growing Internet radio network."
Rolling Stone Radio joins MSN Chat Radio, ARTISTdirect Radio Network, Blue
Note Records Radio, Astralwerks Radio, Alligator Records Radio, and the
