Promo Only MPE Captures Christian Radio
Leading digital distribution service announces endorsement and utilization of Promo Only MPE System by top Christian label groups.
Orlando, FL (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) May 11, 2005 -- Promo Only MPE and technology partner Destiny Media
Technologies announced today that the major Christian label groups, including
Provident Label Group, EMI Christian Music Group, Word Label Group, Curb
Records, Inpop Records and INO Records are all actively using the Promo Only MPE
System to distribute their newest releases to radio.
"I am very excited
to see the culmination of many months of research into this new technology. It
will be so much easier and faster for radio to receive our music," said Andrew
Patton, VP National Promotions with Provident Label Group. "The partnerships
with Mediabase, Scott Studios, and MusicMaster made Promo Only MPE the clear
decision to begin this new delivery system."
"With EMI CMG's 30-plus
artists we have singles going for ads almost every single week," said Grant
Hubbard, VP National Promotions with EMI CMG. "With Promo Only MPE we can get
all of our singles out immediately and additionally ensure that everyone we need
to reach receives the track."
Promo Only MPE has delivered tracks
including Michael W. Smith's "Here I Am" from Provident Label Group and Stephen
Curtis Chapman's "Believe Me Now" for EMI Christian Music Group. Other tracks
delivered include releases for Word Label Group, Curb Records, Inpop Records and
INO Records. 37 tracks have been distributed in the last week for the Christian
Label Groups. More releases are slated for distribution via the Promo Only MPE
System in the coming weeks.
Clear Channel has been using the Promo Only
MPE System since September of 2004 and has approved and authorized its use in
all of their US stations. Promo Only MPE is currently in use by such radio
groups as Cumulus, Infinity, Cox, Citadel, Salem Communications, Radio One,
Emmis, Entercom, Sirius, Journal, ABC, DMX, Disney, Univision, Westwood One,
Regent, Next Media and a number of other media groups. Additionally, Mediabase,
a division of Premiere Radio Networks, has entered into an exclusive partnership
to implement the Promo Only MPE System into their service.
Promo Only MPE
is a highly sophisticated security system, which locks down the distributed
tracks and allows labels to specifically authorize their content to a unique
user. Each song is uniquely encrypted so that only those with the Promo Only MPE
software can access it. Users can have access to their account on multiple
machines therefore making the system completely portable.
Promo Only MPE,
which is free to radio, is the music industry's most secure option for digital
music delivery. Radio stations can request an account for the Promo Only MPE
service by filling out the online form at http://promoonlympe.com/registration.html. Promo Only MPE is a
product of Destiny Media Technologies and is exclusively marketed and
distributed by Promo Only.
