saint Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Internet radio broadcasting company Live 365 has been forced to significantly reduce staff and is actively looking for partners to help continue the service into 2016. The company, which allows users to create their own online radio stations, or choose to listen to thousands of human curated stations from around the globe, has been around for 17 years, but new music royalty rates have brought on challenges. http://www.insideradio.com/free/crb-rate-hikes-force-changes-at-live/article_465d424e-aee0-11e5-a3bf-8bf4ae050c02.html Relaxing Entertainment For The World - - www.ScenicRadio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Interesting. Painful to say but I doubt they will see any investors/partners with the amount of confidence the new royalty charges has created.

BWorld Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Unfortunate for Live365, but good for Stream Hosts who may have some new customers if 365 closes. One of the biggest reason we didn't get involved with royalties. ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?

grahambaster Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It seems Radionomy is a similar service to Live365 and yet I've seen nothing about them regarding the latest CRB. Is it because they are located in Europe and not the USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
