A Leader In
Streaming Media for Broadcast Radio
Barnabas Road Media
Barnabas Road Media (BRM) was founded with the idea of fundamentally
changing the way streaming media services are delivered to broadcast radio
in North America. We rapidly realized radio stations were being penalized
for doing well on the Internet by having simultaneous listener and monthly
listening hour caps applied. BRM was the first streaming media hosting
service to introduce an Unlimited Simultaneous
Listener and Unlimited Monthly Bandwidth plan for broadcast radio stations.
BRM is determined to provide a full range of streaming
media products that broadcasters demand today. The Copyright Royalty Board
decision has caused many webcasters and simulcasters to rethink their
business model. Therefore, BRM introduced a new
Advertising based program called Ad-Opts. BRM
features TargetSpots, Ando Media, StreamAds, Bid4Spots
and stationAds in order to help our customers monetize their internet
simulcasts. We provide the custom APIs via multiple electronic delivery
platforms that make each unique system work in each radio station's market.
We understand that Internet Radio is not free and the medium must generate
its own revenue. See Ad-Opts

Further, the Copyright Royalty Board mandated all Commercial
and larger Non-Commercial music stations report their music played on a "per
performance" basis. BRM therefore, created the proprietary PPRS (Per
Performance Reporting System) that is designed to deliver a ready-to-file
electronic report for SoundExchange and a hard
copy report for the payment of the required copyright royalty fees. The
normal charge for this reporting service is 10% of the monthly base rate for
Unlimited Plans and the reporting service is included at no extra charge for
Network Affiliate Plan participants.

Recently, BRM introduced the
Network Affiliate Plan. The NAP program is designed to present
broadcast radio networks with the absolutely lowest costing
Omnibus
Streaming Media Account available in the market today. All network
affiliates will purchase bandwidth at far below market costs based upon the
buying power of all of BRM's total bandwidth purchases.

station affiliates by providing low fees and making available more revenue
generating opportunities than our competitors
