			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone. Thanks for listening to the stations this season. Five of the seven stations in the CM24/7 network ended up in Live365&#8242;s Top 100 stations (#1, #2, #27 #28, #79). I&#8217;ll be changing a few things for next year, hopefully to get more listeners and more exposure to the more than 200 musicians and groups that sent me music this year. If you have any ideas, just send them my way. Mike</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am adding a whole bunch of new music (55 CDs!) to the Christmas Music 24/7 stations. One thing I&#8217;ve noticed as I&#8217;m preparing the music for broadcast, many of the CDs from independent artists don&#8217;t have a label name or copyright year listed. It seems odd I know, but I must report the year of the song&#8217;s copyright, and the label name to <a href="http://www.soundexchange.com">SoundExchange</a> when I send them my monthly report detailing all the music I&#8217;ve played.</p>
<p>So if you recently sent me a CD, and I write you asking for your label name, don&#8217;t be alarmed or upset. If you aren&#8217;t signed with a label yet, I can put your name, or your band&#8217;s name. That &#8220;label name&#8221; is how you&#8217;ll get your payment from Sound Exchange for your performances online. So whatever you choose, be consistent with all the stations you send your music.</p>

I&#8217;m still preparing the music for the stations, but I hope you won&#8217;t be surprised when some of the music won&#8217;t be Christmas any more. The <a href="/x/trad">Traditional Christmas Music</a> and <a href="/x/jazz">Jazz/Instrumental Christmas Music</a> stations will <b>not</b> be changing. If you have any questions or concerns, ask away!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to the <a href="/donations/">donations</a> and other support I&#8217;ve received this year, I have been able to launch a brand new station: <a href=" http://www.live365.com/stations/classical247">Christmas Music 24/7 Orchestral/Classical</a>. This station is playing Christmas music that is a bit more formal, generally full orchestras, or other instruments that you generally will associate with church, such as organs, handbells, or harp.</p>
<p>Yes, I am accepting donations to help pay for this rather time-consuming hobby/tiny small business of mine. And as you can see, it is totally worth it, as once the basic expenses of the station are paid for, I expand, allowing for more people to be able to tune in. Thank you very much for your support.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking at the statistics generated by Live365, the company that handles the technical end of webcasting, three of my stations are in the top 100. The Traditional Christmas music station is the #1 most popular station; the Jazz/Instrumental station is #2, and the country music station is #87. This is the third year in a row that I&#8217;ve been the #1 and #2 station of the thousands of stations at Live365. It&#8217;s a lot of work, and I really enjoy doing it. It wouldn&#8217;t be possible without the listeners choosing to spend their time and attention listening; without the great staff at Live365; or without the artists and groups that send me music to play. Many thanks to all of you.</p>
<p>(Kicky?!? Sorry about that, but I needed a &#8220;k&#8221; word.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have added a list to the site containing a <a href="http://www.christmasmusic247.com/info/">cross-referenced list of most of my Christmas music collection</a>. Currently the reference includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>1,168 musical artists</li>
<li>432 albums</li>
<li>2,378 unique song titles</li>
</ul>
<p>The listing can be found at <a href="http://www.christmasmusic247.com/info/">http://www.christmasmusic247.com/info/</a>.</p>
<p>So if you click on &#8220;<a href="/info/artist/amy-grant">Amy Grant</a>&#8221; you&#8217;ll see a list of which albums I have that she has played a Christmas song. Click on an album name, and see the list of songs on the album. Click on a song title, and see what other artists and albums have done that song.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already seen a few bugs with the pages, which I will fix next week. If you have any questions, please ask. Remember, only 49 days until Christmas. <img src='http://www.christmasmusic247.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Mike</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last summer I was asked by Woman&#8217;s Day magazine to provide a list of Christmas songs that weren&#8217;t the same old thing. The list is at <a href="/x/wdm">WomansDay.com</a>. I&#8217;ve touched base with a few of the artists I included on the list, and they&#8217;ve been very happy with the exposure. It does go to show that if you make some nice music, and share it with a friendly webcaster, you never know where else you may get mentioned. So if you have a Christmas album (or even just a single song), <a href="/music-submission/">send it to me</a>. And please do read <a href="/2009/12/23/twelve-tips-for-getting-airplay/">my list of twelve tips for getting airplay</a>.</p>
