The chiRadio networks 10 year vision report
updated oct 5th 2010
Hi everyone I have seen alot of changes in the internet in the past 10 years.
When I started the company it was a to be continued type or under construction type of situation.
I let you ( the reader )
tell me what you wanted as for the direction of chiRadio.com
Some wanted cheap CD's shipped to you,
Others wanted hot 24 hour music streams,
Some of you wanted a place to find out about music news and stories,
Then there was people that just wanted free downloads,
and lets not forget the bite-er and my hater oh wow how I love my haters.
It is so much we have learned from you guys in the last decade.
I remember before I-tunes and MTV went on line with streaming content
before Kanye sold his first record as a solo artist,
I remember filming concerts with subpar equipment and the lo-budget video like super 8 was the norm.
Before Global Grind
before 50cent got into this web game with his ning social web site and the end of soul train awards...
Biggie wasnt blogging,
2pac wasnt on the computer hating,
He was beating up bootleggers in nyc.
Rap city was the way,
we all watched new Rap videos.
The Local radio stations ment something back in the 1980's & 1990's
and we listened to it every day to get our news and gossip.
NOW the whole game has changed,
Bloggers and download sites run the music business,
everyone that dont know that soon will.
Myspace bands and American Idol have taken over,
FaceBook is at 500 million users world-wide
and something called twitter is the new way to send press releases direct to the masses.
Blue Tooth Smart phones are the new way people get information about hot parties concerts listen to the radio & watch TV
shazzam is the new way to find out what is that song in stead of calling the radio stations...
The viral video is more popular than the National news.
YouTube is the way people watch and share new videos,
MTV is in the Movie Business and said no thank you to playing videos 24 hours a day.
The 5pm Local news has been replaced with TMZ & entertainment tonight.
Media take out keeps us up to-date with who is sleeping with whom, what they are wearing who is in jail and who is looking not so good.
Syndacated radio has replaced the local Morning Drive radio shows.
SataliteRadio is the new BET.
Old rappers are now switching there game up and making web sites for the sole purpose
of releasing new music and new rappers are making ONLINE mixtapes & sextapes to get a buzz.
Dj's have put down the vinyl and CD's for scratch-live MP3 software
and the computer is the new way to break records
now the radio stations programers are downloading music
and even playing it with dj drops in the songs
and playing it on the air with no BDS or digital IDs in it just to stay on top of there games.
10 years ago we were paying $1000's of dollars just to get a record played (payola)
on the local radio stations and people create ther own play list for the world to listen to via streaming internet radio to any smart device.
This concept Sounded nuts until Pandora and last.fm came along...
Now the sponsors get the concept and are now cutting fat checks
and you confirmed ( the readers )
that we was on to something kind of like the new age GOLD Rush
I wanna take some time out to thank every single person who helped in this movement dead or alive.
We all believed in the power of the free press and the power of the internet cus it gets infomation to you faster and cheaper.
I remember when we had a sit down with the record companies and how much they hated the internet
( and site devolpers )
cus of NAPSTER style p2p sharing sites,
(alot of them was even made in chicago)
now Record companies have embaced the power of the net and are making billions of dollars in downloads and ringtone sales and the new 360 deals.
Plus they saving money on promtion and press ups
They use to want to shut sites like chiRadio.com down
(not us personaly but you get the point new media sites)
now they buy AD space and send there A-list artists to us for exclusive audio & video interviews
and product placement or endorcements
the world has really changed in 10 short years....
The advertising trend has went to the internet not cable or local TV for the first time ever in the history of moving pictures & the concept of movies and-or video

Ok So Lets get a little Deeper
what does all this mean?
Numbers just mean who is listening to what and downloading what we are offering
for instance our youtube channel have on chiRadio films exclusive content channel
that is at a half a million views.
Next we Know our podcast is doing almost top ten we @ started it 2 years ago as well
that is more exclusive content...
so we can see what you want and what you dont Based on what you listen to
click on and all this stuff that only we pay attention too...
We view it as a trend or a preferance.
We will keep it going as long as you want it...
when you stop caring we move to something else.
The chiRadio.com social site
(started 2 years ago and over a million hits)
The chiRadio.com site tells us more about what are viewers are into based on traffic...
We know we have a strong male demograhpic bacsed on the views of hot chicks and soft porn trailers.
That just tells us we have a hetrosexual site full of 18 thru 30 guys that are into hot chicks so cheers to you for
liking hot chicks so that tells us in the future we need to do more stories on sexy women...
PLAYBOY gets the props for showing us the way.
Hugh heffner is a fellow Chicagoian
I know this infomation bores most people but it is really how we figure this whole CHIRADIO networks thing out.
Our site visters are not big on tweeting in 2010
( we got less than 1000 followers to date) but is big on getting news and music first so that will stay our niche.
No worries on that but we have discontinued the streaming radio station for right now and getting info thru the social sites
Also the numbers are more in favor of on-demand content and video streaming more than waiting for a special event on cable.
so for now
chiCDS.com
theRapstation.com
the jukestation.com
the soulstation.com
414radio.com
and a host of other sites we own
will be put back in the fish bowl until we figure a better solution than today's apps.
Lets face it some systems and web sites worked in 1999 but in 2010 and beyond these companies are just in it
for the money and that is never ever been our vision.
We know you (the customer) are not the audience that likes be fuked with emotionaly or spend you money carelessly...
one more thing our digital record & production company is doing very well so we will continue to go with that
where thinking chiRadio digital ent as the Official Name
SIDEBAR
we are looking for new artists to sign so please make a profile the staff listens to every thing you post on the site.
well that is it for the most part have fun
browse safe stay away from viruses sexual or computer based
and to all devolopers please
keep the internet open source for generations to come.
this is djelove and yes believe it or not
I am still running the show behind the screen @ the chiRadio networks
(Just for a little while longer until these teenagers want to take over
and hopefully put the chiRadio.com networks in a direction i never thought was possible and be proud like walt disney was)
CHEERS and thx for you support
that is my very brief 10 year update we will do this again in 2020 GOd willing.
For the record we have alot of big plans coming in theup and comming days months and years
like the relaunch of chiRadio films but with a different take on some stuff think trust none but on a larger scale.
To the investors we will have a sit down soon and i wil go thru the 2020 vision
in greater detail so you can invest in the future projects
