This is the MySpace home of Fame Games a radio show that plays and promotes music by Independent musicians!
We only play music that comes directly from the musicians. Musicians send us their songs; we upload them, they get reviewed, they get played, and we deal with the muscian DIRECTLY!!
Something Cool To Know: In a regular deal, Musicians pay out at least a quarter of their monies on radio promotion. When promoting through Fame Games musicians pay NOTHING and are played based on merit. So, if the song rocks it gets played A LOT!!
Fame Games airs 5 shows a week! 3 Qualifier shows, 1 semi-final and the Final!!
STOP THE PRESS!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ABC Radio Networks Launches Fame Games In Search for the Next Music Superstars – Show Will Allow Local Market Artists to Compete in International Competition
Venture merges online music world with terrestrial radio And reinforces the Network’s commitment to young end programming
DALLAS (June 2, 2008) -- ABC Radio Networks announced today it has partnered with Mere Music International (MMI) to bring Fame Games – the popular Web-based competition for new music artists – to U.S. and international radio syndication. The show, which has been available on the Web since 2006, has drawn unsigned artists from more than 70 countries and currently pulls a weekly audience of more than 2.5 million listeners. Fame Games will begin airing .. ABC Radio Networks affiliates on June 30 and be comprised of three 15-week competitions targeting young end consumers.
Fame Games provides an online stage for aspiring musicians. While the showcased artists are truly international in scope, almost three quarters of the weekly listeners and on-line voters are from the United States – an indication there will be a strong reception from young, active listeners in America who want to help determine tomorrow’s music idols. The show is expected to drive traffic to station websites from listeners looking to cast their ballot and follow the weekly competition.
“Unsigned artists are writing and recording some of today’s best music and they’re doing it from their own garages and bedrooms,†said Laura Krier, an independent musician and co-founder of Fame Games. “This global radio launch is going to provide airplay and recognition for a new generation of talent. We can’t wait to start broadcasting the show with new affiliates in the U.S. and have an army of new voters choosing our top songs.â€
To enter Fame Games, artists submit their song(s) via the MMI artists site (www.meremusic.com) where it is evaluated by a production team before being made available for review by peers and listeners at www.famegamesradio.com. By gaining fan support and positive reviews, a song can then advance through several voting stages required to reach the qualifier show. Winners are determined by the highest vote totals with weekly finalists from qualifying events competing for track of the month honors.
“Fame Games is going to be a phenomenal opportunity for stations seeking to provide a vehicle for local artists to become a star and will also allow the stations to own the new music niche in their market,†said TJ Lambert, Senior Vice President of Affiliate Relations for ABC Radio Networks. “We’ll be taking what has already been a successful online program and joining it with the strength and reach of network radio to attract a coveted demographic of active listeners.â€
Weekly episodes of Fame Games will air Monday-Friday. The program will be hosted by the established panel of five judges, which includes Laura Krier, Paul Sedkowski and Graham Keeling - all independent musicians and writers - as well as Sid Olivera, a former BBC radio personality. The group is rounded out by Jake Waby and Lexy Badger-Ward, two teenage music phenoms and artists-in-training who provide the teen perspective to the group’s discussion and on-air reviews.
