Internet radio

Up to this point, the discussion of the royalty situation on this blog has focused on Bluegrass music, which make sense, this is The Bluegrass Blog.

May I suggest that the problem is not just ours. There are many other styles of music that are under represented in the mass media.

There other 24 hour streaming services for Gospel,  AAA,  Oldies, Classic Country etc. Some of these are independent operations such as Bluegrass Radio, some are a stream of the the main feed of radio stations, others are an alternate stream from a radio station.

Can any one shed light an what the reaction has been in these other communities?  Can we find a way to join forces in opposition?
