Promo Only MPE has consistently delivered the most tracks to radio and achieved the highest adoption rate across all formats of any digital distribution service currently available.
In their exclusive partnership with Promo Only MPE, Mediabase 24/7, a division of Premiere Radio Networks and one of the most respected names and services in the radio industry with nearly 1,700 radio affiliates, has made Promo Only MPE available on their service in the United States since late 2005. Mediabase 24/7's password protected website allows radio broadcasters, via the Promo Only MPE System, to preview and download selected full length music tracks.
"The mass adoption and staggering numbers achieved by the MPE System demonstrate the music industry's firm commitment to our service as the premier choice for all of their digital distribution requirements," said Dean Ernst, Director of Promo Only MPE. "Equally impressive is the fact that virtually every broadcast chain is employing the MPE System to fulfill their needs."
"The Promo Only MPE System continues to gain widespread momentum and acceptance by our customers," said Mediabase 24/7 President Rich Meyer. "Clearly users are impressed with the high level and quality of services offered as the numbers so emphatically indicate."
Promo Only MPE has been leading the music industry in digital distribution in the United States since its launch in October of 2004.

In excess of 18,000 tracks have been distributed through the Promo Only MPE System for labels including Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, EMI Music Group and Warner Music Group. 2005 marked the partnership deal with Mediabase 24/7 monitoring service and the unveiling of the first ever digital distribution system with Spanish language capabilities, allowing it to serve the growing number of Spanish speaking radio stations and Latin label divisions in the United States. In 2006, Radio and Records announced that they will combine with Promo Only as the exclusive sales representative for the Promo Only MPE System.
