Defunct Channels

[edit]

I have just removed Future Beats as DI undertook some maintenance at the weekend (20-21 January 2017) and it vanished. There are now 91 channels (can anyone recall when Future Bass appeared? It's still listed under "new' in the iOS app's 'styles' lists so presumably it's quite recent).

Funny thing, I counted up the channels in the current article list, and it came to 90 with the omission of Future Beats, but including Future Bass (as it was already listed). I've counted several times, and it's definitely 90, yet I can't see the missing channel on DI's website. Could someone else please contrast and compare, because it's doing me nut in now! There are 91 on DI's website). I'd like to have a go at sorting the table so it matches the website, but my parents are back from Tenerife tomorrow and I'll have to return the MBP.

Can anyone spot the difference (or is it that I can't count...?).

I'm trying to remember when the dedicated Sankey's channel disappeared, it was forever ago really, wasn't it (I've had a subscription for so long, I really can't remember!).

All looks good. 91 channels at http://www.di.fm/channels and 91 listed here. I diffed the lists and saw 2 minor typo differences only. Wire723 (talk) 09:26, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Sister" networks

[edit]

Hi there,

While going through this page, I noticed that the networks RadioTunes, JAZZRADIO, ROCKRADIO, and ClassicalRadio were referred to as "Sister networks" of Digitally Imported. After looking into it to find a source for this information (other listed sources are simply the websites for each of the networks but don't actually back up the claim), I do not believe that this is correct, and I've listed the evidence of this below.

1) Each site's TOS page (example [[1]]) states, "Please be advised that Radio Now, LLC is the legal owner of this website, the brand JAZZRADIO.com, and its related mobile apps, but that Digitally Imported, Inc is the data controller of all data collected to operate the Platform."

2) Last year, DI had a crowdfunding campaign. As part of this campaign, they had to file disclosures with the SEC, and you can see the disclosures at [[2]]. In the filing, there is no mention of these networks being part of DI in any way. In fact, I've listed two relevant snippets below which suggest that the relationship is more one of service provider than sister networks:

Snippet #1: "The company is a party to a master services agreement...between the company... and Radio Now, LLC, under which the company will provide: services to Radio Now, LLC, such as developing, maintaining and operating a subscription membership system on the basis of SaaS..." This starts a full list of services which the company provides for Radio Now, LLC.

Snippet #2: "The company also recognizes platform revenue, by which it provides IT infrastructure, streaming media, membership services, advertising integration, software development and other assorted administrative services to other online webcasting companies, Radio Now, LLC and Radio World, LLC."

3) Finally, a brief read on "sister companies" suggests that to qualify, the companies must be owned by a common parent company. In this case, the SEC filing suggests that DI is almost exclusively owned by a Gregory Ari Shohat while Radio Now, LLC has a different owner.

Given the above, I am going to change the phrasing in the paragraph about the "sister networks" to better reflect available sources.

@Roth3nyk: I don't know how reliable CrossFadr is, but it should count. As for the logo, I can't seem to find a clean version of it. If you do, link to it here and I'll replace it. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 18:02, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
