San Diego Blog News

Nova NeilNeil Ross will do the voice over for tonight’s KPBS broadcast of NOVA. He’ll be the announcer for Bone Diggers. “As this one takes place in Australia, I guess it’s technically a voice-under [rim-shot],” wrote Neil. Program airs tonight on channel 15 over the air, or channel 11 on most cable systems in San Diego county.

Neil’s website is NeilRoss.com.


Did anyone catch the Dr. Laura moment in last week’s Rescue Me on FX? The good doctor was heard on the radio as Denis Leary’s character denied tuning in. Classic.

The Loud Silence

San Diego Blog News

DOSFrom Kurt Hanson’s RAIN: “In response to a impending royalty rate increase that, if implemented, would lead to the virtual shutdown of Internet radio in the U.S., thousands of webcasters plan to go silent next Tuesday, June 26, to draw attention to their industry’s plight.

RAIN Kurt HansonThis “Day of Silence” is an encore of a successful media event that small webcasters organized on May 1, 2002 in response to a similarly royalty rate ruling from a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) five years ago. That event garnered national attention and was subsequently followed by a rate cut by the Librarian of Congress and the passage of the Small Webcaster Settlement Act for the period 1998-2005. [Previous RAIN coverage here.]

Webcasters will be alerting their listeners that “silence” is what Internet radio may sound like on or shortly after July 15th, the day on which 17 months’ worth of retroactive royalty increase payments are due to the SoundExchange collection organization under the terms of a recent Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) decision.

See the RAIN for the complete article.
