BRS Media Announces Plans to Secure, Operate and Market the
.Radio TLD
dotRadio will be
positioned as the New Multimedia Domain for the On Air and
Online Community!
Las Vegas, NV. April 20, 2009 - BRS Media, a diverse and
growing media e-commerce firm that helps traditional and
interactive media companies build and brand on the power of the
Internet, announced today that it intends to secure, market and
manage the ".Radio" generic top-level domain (gTLD).
dotRadio™ will provide an unparalleled branding opportunity
worldwide for the Radio, Broadcasting, Streaming, Multimedia,
Music and Social Network communities. Online Radio is among the
fastest growing segment of the Internet. Internet radio's weekly
U.S. audience has hit 42 million, according to the latest
Arbitron and Edison Research Infinite Dial study.
BRS Media has pioneered the 'multimedia' domain space since
launching dotFM® and dotAM®, the .FM & .AM Top Level Domains in
1998 at NAB 98 in Las Vegas. For over 11 years, BRS Media has
engaged radio properties, web sites and online media
organizations worldwide to move up to a 'Great Sounding Web
Address' under .FM & .AM. Today some of the highest-profile
media properties have a branded web address ending in .FM,
including: Last.FM, Power106.FM, DI.FM, Ping.FM, as well as new
sites like: Twisten.FM, Sleep.FM and Las Vegas’ newest station,
1027Now.FM!
"We're thrilled and ecstatic to announce our intention to
secure, operate and promote the new .Radio top level domain"
remarked George T. Bundy, Chairman & CEO of BRS Media Inc. "The
future for Internet Radio is vibrant, with the largest growth in
mobile listening. From cell phone streaming applications to new
In Car and In Flight Wi-Fi access, Internet Radio is now being
consumed literally everywhere! DotRadio will allow us to offer
the most complete selection of domain extensions to interactive
media companies worldwide."
As part of the dotRadio announcement, BRS Media is sponsoring
the RAIN Internet Radio Annual Poolside Cocktail Party, Monday
April 20, 2009 at the RAIN Internet Radio Summit, a Co-located
Event at the 2009 NAB Show in Las Vegas. The cocktail party will
immediately follow the Internet Radio Summit from 6-8 PM at the
Renaissance Hotel adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center.
More Information on the RAIN Summit is available here: http://kl.am/rain
The plan to launch ".Radio" follows ICANN's (Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) decision to expand
the domain space beyond the standard .com, .net, .org and
country code extensions. Being called the “Biggest Domain Name
Expansion” in the history of the Internet, the move is expected
to open the top level domain space to an unlimited number of
extensions. ICANN is expected to announce the dates of the
window for applications by the end of this year. BRS Media Inc.
will apply for the .radio top level domain through the ICANN
gTLD application process in early 2010. Applicants will be
subject to approval by ICANN's governing board.
