Not so fast MO. Changing before our eyes... >>>>Many major radio station groups are backing out on their Webcast operations. Stations owned by Clear Channel Communications (CCU: news, msgs, alerts) , Radio One (ONE: news, msgs, alerts) and ABC/Disney (DIS: news, msgs, alerts) have removed live listening options from their sites, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The catalyst could be word broadcasters may find streaming audio more expensive. Last month, a unit of the American Association of National Advertisers and the American Association of Advertising Agencies reminded members of a rule requiring that they pay unionized talent 300 percent of their normal session fee if their radio commercials are used online. Webcasts continued to be available on several of the most popular radio stations, including on ABC's KABC in Los Angeles and WMAL in Washington and New York's WABCRadio.com. www2.marketwatch.com
