Audacy confirms plans for subscription audio offering
Re: Audacy confirms plans for subscription audio offering
It will never be a big deal. Audacy will never be as popular as iHeart in subscription service. Just look at the app downloads on Google Play for Audacy 5 million and iHeart 50 million. Audacy has a terrible app and website that needs to be improved drastically, iHearts app is more user friendly. Good luck Audacy on your subscription venture but I will never subscribe.

There are already fifty zillion audio streaming services out there. Audacy is a day late and a dollar (more like hundreds of millions of dollars) short.
Money would be better spent improving their OTA radio brands.

Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Re: Audacy confirms plans for subscription audio offering
"Free" streaming is a disaster. What other platforms charge you for every song you play, multiplied by the number of listeners? It's a "popularity penalty". What if record companies in the past charged you every time you played a song on your iPod, CD or record? Outrageous, you'd say...well that is what they are doing now.
I suppose if the AD economy was booming, you could sell ads to cover it. Of course, AFTRA wants to be paid double for ADS aired on streaming platforms, so there pretty much goes all the profit...
Paid streaming is the new "paywall" for radio.

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: Audacy confirms plans for subscription audio offering
Royalties may be a bit different if you’re an Audacy or IHeart. I think you have a blanket royalty fee due to the over the air stations offset the fees. But, I could be mistaken.audiophile wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 7:53 am"Free" streaming is a disaster. What other platforms charge you for every song you play, multiplied by the number of listeners?
