(September 12, 2005 - Los Angeles, CA) - Film Music Media Group announces the
September 13, 2005 launch of Film Music Radio (www.FilmMusicRadio.com), an
internet-based radio station which will play a 24-hour stream of soundtrack

Movies (TCM) Young Composers Competition which Film Music co-sponsors.
The Film Music Radio schedule will be broken into two-hour genre-based segments
including Science Fiction, Drama, Comedy and Family, Action, and Songs. The
website will include a searchable database of reviews of these recordings,

(PDT) the station will broadcast exclusive original programs, including:
"On The Score", featuring composer interviews with film music journalist Daniel
Schweiger
"Theme and Variations", hosted by CineMedia Promotions President Beth Krakower
"Soundtrack Cinema", hosted by Ford A. Thaxton (formerly aired on KING-FM in
Seattle)
"Clef Notes from Tinseltown", a news and review show, hosted by Dan Goldwasser,

"We're thrilled to bring people who enjoy instrumental music a new way to enjoy
the best of film and television music," says Film Music Media Group founder Mark
Northam. "We've combined the best of music from visual media, from the classics
to the latest hits, with an incredible line-up of exclusive shows that explore
the world of film music with composer interviews, insightful commentary, and new
perspectives on today's new 'classical' music."
Film Music Radio is the first direct-to-consumer-oriented property of Film Music
Media Group, a company specializing in providing key resources for film and
television composers. The recently re-launched Film Music Magazine is the only
trade magazine specializing in this industry. The Film Music Network, with
locations in Los Angeles and New York, hosts monthly networking meetings and
provides job leads for composers. The Film Music Institute offers professional
education courses and seminars around the country, and books on the craft and
business of scoring for visual media. Since 1999, Film Music Magazine has
co-sponsored the annual Turner Classic Movies Young Composers Competition, which
provides young composers the opportunity to compose a new score for a restored
silent film that premieres on TCM.
"Film Music Radio is an exciting addition to our family of media properties that
focus on music for visual media," says Northam. "We look forward to expanding
our offerings for everyone who enjoys music for film and television."
