The iRadio Station Partnership program has been created to support MusiK1 artist and label relations interested in purchasing Internet radio airplay slots on large Internet radio stations. The program fairly compensates participating stations for the valuable role they play in getting indies the important exposure they may not have otherwise received using traditional methods. Sales and distribution of payment out to participating stations is administrated by MusiK1 and are paid out prior to the execution of agreed rendered services. Station Partners retain the control of what they play, while providing artists and labels a way of continuing to utilize the unique exposure that only radio can provide.

Currently, MusiK1 is presenting the program to prominent Internet radio stations who generate 10,000+ Unique Listeners per week and are streaming off a Shoutcast server for song and commercial data detection purposes via iRadioStats.

To participate in the program, Station Partners agree to the following terms that will be presented in a Internet Radio Promotional Consideration Agreement:

• Signup to a complimentary iRadioStats Station Partner account for your individual station or multi-channels that are participating in the iRadio Promotional Consideration program.
  
  
• Submit a 7-day unique listener audience report for the first week in the beginning of each quarter to determine which tier stations/channels fit in the rate card for airplay slot fees.
  
  
• Pay royalties out to Sound Exchange and appropriate Performance Rights Organizations.
  
  
• Stations must execute a (10-15 second) Sponsored ID prior to playing the purchased airplay slots (spins) in the exact daypart schedule agreed upon by all parties involved.
  
  
• Render services within (5) business days upon receiving payment from MusiK1.
  Station Partners who participate in selling commercial spots will need to add each commercial spot to their playlist, just as a song file, in order for iRadioStats to detect ad placement.
  
  
• Send MusiK1 a final airplay report for each rendered airplay slot consisting of the total amount of spins that have been generated and the unique listeners who tuned in to each spin.
  
  
• Agree to keep a song in rotation upon audience interest.

When stations submit their 7-day unique listener audience report, MusiK1 then determines airplay slot rates based on either a 10K+, 25K+ or 50K+ station audience size. If rates and/or station requirements have been changed, a revised Promotional Consideration Service Agreement will be issued out to Station Partners.

Upon execution of the Promotional Consideration Service Agreement, also containing an Exhibit A indicating agreed service Airplay Slot rates, MusiK1 then begins to present clients to new Station Partners. For Station Partners who approve titles for promotional consideration, MusiK1 then communicates approval back to the client, in which artist and label relations will then need to decide if and when they want to proceed with the service. Once services have been approved by all parties, MusiK1 invoices the client. When receiving payment from artist and client relations, MusiK1 then redistributes payment out the Station Partners via PayPal or business check.

Sample Station Partner Stats

Ultimately, iRadioStats saves Station Partners time by taking care of the required final airplay & audience report that artist and label relations will need to receive from Station Partners. Station Partners who also have Windows Media, IceCast and Firehouse servers can still take advantage of the added value features for their Shoutcast servers, though will still need to provide the required final airplay & audience report to clients generated by non-Shoutcast servers. iRadioStats has plans to test detections of Windows Media and IceCast servers in the near future.

For Station Partners participating in the iRadio Promotional Consideration program, iRadioStats provides the following benefits:

1. Secured account access;
2. Ability to add and update Shoutcast server information;
3. Review all Shoutcast server stats through GEO IP tracking that establishes worldwide total unique listeners in real-time, separated by country;
4. Review generated stats for each song aired, with artist search features, which is also provided back to clients who purchase airplay slots and commercial spots on your behalf;
5. Export song and commercial data to Microsoft Excel.
