========MESSAGE TO ALL WKDU MEMBERS========

HEY-I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE HIP WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF INTERNET RADIO. I

THINK THE SITUATION IS CRUCIAL. AND MAYBE WKDU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE?

Webcasters can participate in the ìday of silenceî by either totally

cutting their signal or with heavy schedules of public service

announcements (including a moment of silence ó e.g., "here's what internet

radio may sound like on May 22nd...")

Those that plan to participate include most of the top-rated independent

webcasters, such as AllDanzRadio (various formats), Beethoven.com

(classical), Choice Radio (various formats), ChronixRadio (rock),

ClevelandHits.com (CHR), CyberRadio2000 (various formats), Digitally

Imported (various forms of electronica), GoodTimeOldiesRadio (oldies), and

HardRadio (rock).

Also participating: iNetProgramming (bluegrass and other formats), Internet

Radio Hawai'i (Hawaiian music), KING-FM/Seattle (classical), KPIG/Freedom,

CA (Americana), KTOZ/Springfield, MO (variety), M4Radio (indie rock),

Mostly Classical (classical), Radio Paradise (AAA), Radioio (AAA) and RAIN

Radio (several formats).

Other webcasters planning to participate include SomaFM (trance), 3WK

(alternative), TwangTownUSA (country), Twangcast (country), Ultimate-80s

(Eighties), Village Voice Radio (eclectic), WCSB/Cleveland (various),

WICB-FM (Ithica College), and WOLF FM (70s-80s-90s).

Those running heavy PSA schedules include Live365.com (various formats),

ClassicalMusicDetroit (classical), Shoutcast (various formats), Winamp

Radio (various formats), and numerous other college and non-commercial

webcasters.

Online users can call or write their congressmen and representatives to

express their opinions on the issues.

This is not just a US issue. The CARP decision will have an impact on

webcasting around the world. US webcasters and those outside the US that

wish to support this effort can get more information at the website of

RAIN, the Radio and Internet Newsletter,
