We’re taking your weekly music meeting and bringing it right here to this year’s R&R Convention, baby! Every programmer or music head likes to think they can find the hits, but it can be difficult when you get a new record that sounds different and goes against the grain. With radio stations relying on research rather than instinct, how do you educate your listener into embracing those different-sounding records? Our panel of music leaders in the radio industry will discuss some of their philosophies on finding that next big record or sound and what they consider when deciding to give a record airplay. Panelists will then get a chance to hear and comment on upcoming projects from various record companies.

ALTERNATIVE:
The 4th Annual Alternative Rate-A-Record*
International Ballroom, Lobby Level
Sponsored by Lava Records
Performance by Authority Zero

It’s about radio programmers presenting new music they’ve discovered. In four short years, the R&R Rate-A-Record panel has created a name for itself as a source for discovering future stars. Three years ago a niche artist/DJ named Moby introduced the first song off his future-Platinum Play at this panel. Two years ago two radio programmers independently brought in an unsigned band named Linkin Park for the panel to hear. Last year, a relatively unknown independent release from a band called The Strokes was debuted. What will we discover this year? Well, attend the panel and hear it for yourself.

ROCK/ACTIVE ROCK
The Artists Panel
Versailles Room, Lobby Level

Without the artists, there would be no music on the radio. But, all too often, artists are treated like a commodity. They have many spokesmen, from labels to managers to booking agents, who all play vital roles in their careers. But what would they want to say on their own behalf? This panel will strive to bridge the gap between artists and radio. Topics will include how the artists view promotions and radio station competitions, their thoughts about radio interviews, and other insights from their own unique perspective.
