The new program by Clear Channel Radio (which has over 1,200 US radio stations) will put new artist's music on their station's web sites. This is done with permission from the labels. "Labels that have agreed to provide artists include Atlantic, Capitol, Columbia, Def Jam, Lava, Manhattan, RMG, Rounder, Sony/BMG, Virgin, Warner Bros. and Wind-Up. Clear Channel partner GarageBand.com will provide unsigned artists."

"The program will feature hundreds of songs on-demand from rock and pop to country. Each quarter, 16 artists will be featured, along with their artist-produced home video." The artists will be made available for 90 days each.
