Most athletes, trainers, boxers and even martial artists will say that most of your power is concentrated at the core. Grant Percy, Chairman and CEO of the international Power FM radio conglomerate will probably tell you different.  Earlier this February, Percy announced that several of his affiliated radio stations will break away from the traditional radio broadcasting to spearhead the new Power FM online division.  The Power FM stations involved in this initiative include San Francisco, Boston, Rome, Paris, Manila and potentially others. If all goes well, Percy will also announce several collaborations with key music content providers by the fourth quarter 2014. These collaborations are designed to infuse the network with fresh new music.

‘There are innumerable benefits to Internet radio over traditional terrestrial radio broadcasting,’ states Percy.  Through the web, we can provide a greater variety of music, better sound quality and reach listeners all across the globe.  And now that mobile technology allows listeners to bring their favorite stations with them into their cars, gyms, homes, coffee houses or anywhere, I believe it is only a matter of time before all of the terrestrial radio broadcasters make the logical leap to the web. I am both excited and eager to make this transition happen.’

The New Face of Radio

The media conglomerate Berkshire Media Group, headquartered in London, UK, recently acquired one of the world’s fastest growing network of radio stations, adding to their growing portfolio of media startups. In a press release, Robert Harrison, CEO of Berkshire Media Group, promised ‘significant changes to both management and programming to restore balance to the network’, and has certainly delivered on that promise.  Before the company had acquired the stations, they had operated as a loose confederation of independent stations for many years. The network content is now managed centrally, giving Berkshire Media Group an enviable platform with which to launch new music and introduce new artists to a global listener base.

Among the stations acquired were powerhouses KMIX Radio Los Angeles, WNYR ‘The Rock’ of New York City, WCTR Chicago and others. The network also includes a collection of top stations in Tokyo, Rio De Janeiro, London, Sydney and other major cities.  The attractiveness of these stations, in addition to their fresh playlist of new artists, is the fact that there are absolutely no commercials, putting the focus solely on the music.
