American Media Services Interactive Launches Beta of TheRadio.com - On-Demand Streaming Music Site

CHARLESTON, S.C.--(Business Wire)--
American Media Services Interactive (AMSi) announces the beta
launch of TheRadio.com the latest free, online music streaming
vehicle. TheRadio.com is an on-demand, interactive music delivery site
featuring unique capabilities including song skipping, favorites
tracking, and a robust search feature.

   "With the ease of our search format, individuals accessing music
via TheRadio.com can narrow their search by artist, song or genre,"
said Charles Andrew Whatley, President of AMSi. "TheRadio.com is the
answer to the current music consumption notion based on consumers
proclaiming 'I want music and media how I want it, where I want it and
when I want it'." Created by American Media Services Interactive,
TheRadio.com provides a seemingly endless selection of free music of
superior quality coupled with ease of use. "TheRadio.com will feature
26 rock channels, 17 country, 15 rhythm and blues, 4 jazz, 18 oldies,
6 Christmas, and 13 religious," said Scott Johnson, Program Director,
TheRadio.com.

   Exclusively available on TheRadio.com are a dozen weekly countdown
channels. Each is devoted to the continuous presentation of the
current top 40 songs in multiple genres, as determined by MediaBase, a
music industry website containing in-depth charts and analysis based
on data from 175 markets in the United States. "TheRadio.com, through
its exclusive relationship with MediaBase, is the only online entity
where listeners can find all these countdown channels including Adult
Contemporary, Active Rock, Alternative, CHR, Country, Gospel, Hot AC,
Rhythm, Triple A, Urban Contemporary and Urban," said Johnson.

   "Consumers are looking for more flexibility, customization and
engagement in music consumption," continues Whatley. This availability
of multiple listening formats has proven to be resonating with online
listeners as TheRadio.com has seen over 1000% growth in audience
within the first three weeks of beta release. TheRadio.com soon will
continue to be upgraded and see enhancements in its selection process,
monetization, and bandwidth. The beta version provides the opportunity
for listeners to provide feedback for improvements and additions. For
