Entercom Petitions
FCC For Change In Contest Rules Entercom
has filed a petition with the FCC,
asking for changes to the rules involving
disclosure of information for radio
contests. The broadcaster suggests that
contest rules being posted on a station's
website should be enough to meet FCC
requirements. According to Entercom's
petition, "Americans expect to instantly
access information at their fingertips by
merely logging on to a website, conducting a
Google search, or using an app on their
smart phone."
The petition
continues, "Relying on broadcast
announcements for material contest
information may have been an acceptable way
to attempt to inform the public about the
terms of a contest when the Contest Rule was
enacted in 1976, but it is certainly not the
case today, especially when there are
superior methods that are simple to
implement."
Entercom adds that "The
vast majority of broadcasters already have
dedicated websites where they can disclose
complete contest information to the public
that can be accessed 'on demand.'
Additionally, broadcasters can easily and
quickly disseminate complete contest
information to the public by email,
facsimile, mail or in person. These methods
provide a more effective way for the public
to obtain full, accurate and detailed
contest information in written form at any
time the public chooses rather than waiting
to hear periodic broadcast announcements of
the material terms. These announcements do
not provide complete details, may not be
heard and, even if heard by listeners, may
not be fully comprehended as the
listening environment for radio varies
widely among listeners. Accordingly, the
Commission should update the Contest Rule to
reflect today's communications landscape and
thus better serve the public."

Soul Legend Etta James Passes At Age 73
Soulful singing legend Etta James,
known for hits such as "The Wallflower,"
"Something's Got a Hold on Me" and "At Last," has
passed away at the age of 73. James died due to
complications from leukemia, according to her
longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon.
She was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010, and also
suffered from dementia and hepatitis C. James
reportedly died at a hospital in Riverside, CA with
her husband and her sons by her side. In her
declining health, the singer announced that she was
formally retiring from music just before the October
25, 2011 release of her final studio album, The
Dreamer. "This is a
tremendous loss for the family, her friends and fans
around the world," De Leon stated, according to
CNN.com. "She was a true original who could sing it
all – music defied category. I worked with Etta for
over 30 years. She was my friend and I will miss her
always."
Etta James was born Jamesetta
Hawkins in Los Angeles in 1938 to a teen mother and
unknown father. Her birth mother initially took
little responsibility for her, and James was raised
by a series of people, notably a pair of boarding
house owners. However, she began showing off her
booming voice at age 5 by singing in a South Central
Los Angeles church. In 1950 at age 12, her mother
moved her to San Francisco, where James formed a
group called The Peaches. She first
hit the charts as a teenager in 1955, taking "The
Wallflower (Roll With Me, Henry)" to #1 on the R&B
charts. Soon after that, James signed with
Chess Records and had a string of R&B and
Pop hits such as "All I Could Do is Cry" and "My
Dearest Darling." Her signature hit, 1962's "At
Last," was the idea of Chess co-founder Leonard
Chess, who felt that James' voice was best suited
for a ballad.
James ultimately won six
Grammy Awards, nine Soul/Blues Female Artist of the
Year awards from the Blues Foundation, and was voted
into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. She also
received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in
2003 and she has been cited as a huge influence
among many of today's artists, including
Adele and Christina Aguilera.
