RADIO NEWS

Profile America --Tuesday, September 1st. "News is coming up next." Such words are familiar to many of us, as Americans catch up on what's happening around the world by listening to radio newscasts at home, at work, on their computers and in the car. One of the first daily news programs on the young medium launched on this date in 1922. It was called "The Radio Digest," and was hosted by George Thompson over WBAY in New York City. At the time, there were just 30 radio stations in the entire U.S., and only 60,000 homes had receivers. Now, radio is part of the everyday routine of most Americans. Across the nation, there are well over 15,000 stations, and the average home has about eight radios. You can find current data on the country's economy by downloading the 'America's Economy' mobile application at www.census.gov/mobile.

THX And China's SAPPRFT Test Institute Partner To Define New Cinema Quality Standards

THX And China's SAPPRFT Test Institute Partner To Define New Cinema Quality Standards

Addressing the Need for Improved Monitoring, Implementation and Education, THX is Lending its Expertise to Advancing China's Cinema Industry

BEIJING, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --THX Holdings Ltd. (THX) announces a cooperative agreement with SAPPRFT Test Institute of Film Technical Quality (TIFTQ), marking the beginning of the companies' efforts to co-develop new cinema standards and services for the Chinese market. On August 28, 2015 a ceremony in Beijing kicked off the cooperation. Industry leaders and key media were present to witness the execution of the agreement by Gong Bo, Deputy Director of SAPPRFT Film Technology and Quality Inspection Center, and Louis Cacciuttolo, THX Executive Vice-President of International Business Development and Brand Strategy.

In the past few years, China's cinema industry experienced tremendous growth with approximately 5,000 new auditoriums opening each year. This feverish pace of construction has outpaced the education of cinema design, installation and maintenance professionals - often resulting in poor architectural and acoustic design as well as underperforming audio and video systems. The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT) operates through TIFTQ as the only third-party testing institute for China's film industry.

The collaboration between SAPPRFT's TIFTQ and THX is of utmost significance as it marks the very first time a foreign entity will participate in defining national quality standards for China's cinema industry. The goals of the partnership are to develop advanced evaluation, testing and calibration methodologies that will be applied by the administration to ensure the newly defined standards are met by all operating auditoriums regardless of location, size or playback format.

The two companies plan to open a quality inspection laboratory that will provide testing, evaluation and certification services for audio-visual professional products and relevant cinema equipment. The companies also aim to create specialized training courses for cinema technicians, calibrators and projectionists for the technical installation, adjustment, operation and maintenance of Chinese cinemas.

"This strategic partnership is an ideal combination of both parties' strengths," explains Louis Cacciuttolo. "THX's 30 years of expertise in cinema design, coupled with TIFTQ's technical authority in the market will provide the optimal solution for better quality, better performance and system issue resolution for China's film industry."

About Test Institute of Film Technical Quality, SAPPRFT
SAPPRFT's Test Institute of Film Technical Quality is the only state authoritative test organization for the film industry in China. Its functions include: testing and certification of film technology equipment and environment; testing and evaluating of film production and screening technique quality; software evaluation for the film industry; testing of radio/ film/ television related systems, equipment and products; bidding and testing of radio/ film/ television projects and equipment; providing testing and certification guarantees for film technology and quality; service of process design, equipment installation and debugging; and project supervision for screening environment, architectural acoustics and electro-acoustics. It owns a film technology and quality detection laboratory, software testing laboratory, and television technique evaluation laboratory, as well as advanced test equipment and devices for digital film, digital video-audio, optical equipment, film environment and technique - all up to advanced international standards.

Shake the Lake 1st International BMW Night of Swing & Boogie Piano Entertainment at Sunrise Kempinski Hotel, Beijing & Yanqi Island

Shake the Lake 1st International BMW Night of Swing & Boogie Piano Entertainment at Sunrise Kempinski Hotel, Beijing & Yanqi Island

BEIJING, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Stand by for a night of rip-roaring fun on Saturday, October 31, 2015 when the Sunrise Kempinski Hotel, Beijing & Yanqi Island presents a dinner-dance extravaganza featuring pulsating boogie, swing and jazz music themed to the swinging Beijing of the 1930s era.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20150826/0861507959

The Shake the Lake Night will feature two Feurich grand pianos on stage and a highly acclaimed ensemble of charismatic and outstanding musicians who have performed around the world at festivals as well as gigs at top venues in major cities. Tinkling the keyboards are Richie Loidl and Clemens Vogler, presenting their piano-friend and headline-star of the concert Joja Wendt. Franz Trattner on drums and Gernot Haslauer on double bass will support the show as a groovy rhythm section. After the Saturday night, the hotel will also invite those artists to join the following Sunday Jazz & Boogie Brunch at Elements on November 1, 2015. Pamper yourself with the delicious gourmet brunch and enjoy the authentic live music.

Austria-born Richie Loidl trained in classical piano as a child, but found his true niche at age 18 when he developed a passion for boogie-woogie and blues piano, inspired by the styles of contemporary musicians who re-animated the rarely played genre in Europe during the late 70s and 80s. Also an accomplished vocalist, his repertoire consists not only of moving boogie-woogie and earthy blues, but of popular Broadway standards, discreet bar music, and the pop-songs that everyone likes to hear. The highlights of his career to date were large boogie festivals in France, Germany and Switzerland, as well as numerous performances throughout Italy, Spain, Canada, Bahrain, USA, U.A.E./Dubai, Shanghai and naturally, in all of Austria. His motto: "Simply live! Let the good times roll! Keep shaking'!"

Fellow Austrian Clemens Vogler started his piano career at the age of six. After classical piano lessons he took up boogie-woogie and blues piano at the age of 15. Digging into old records, he began to play in the style of Albert Ammons, Meade "Lux" Lewis and Pete Johnson, the creators of boogie-woogie piano. Developing and moving on with his skills he fell in love with the swing jazz area. Musicians like Nat King Cole, Oscar Peterson, Thelonious Monk inspired his further musical expressions. He epitomises his present musical style as one where "the whole thing swings with love to perform."

Since 1995 Richie Loidl & Clemens Vogler have been organizing the annual "Shake the Lake Boogie Festival" at Austria's Lake Wolfgangsee, close to the famous city of Salzburg. It is "much more than a concert" and certainly the most authentic and one of the largest European boogie festivals. The best musicians in the genre from all over the world have been invited to perform there.

Considered as "the best of the world", Shake the Lake-star Joja Wendt will be presented by Richie & Clemens at the great ballroom of the Sunrise Kempinski Yanqi Lake. He is a pianist and multi-talented entertainer through and through, his concerts fill the largest concert halls and he is, without doubt, technically brilliant and driven when at his instrument. Numerous concert tours have taken Joja Wendt around the world. From Germany and Europe to the stages of glittering metropolis', such as New York's Carnegie Hall as well as out-of-the-way corners like a small music school in the Siberian peninsula of Kamtschatka, of which he likes to tell in his concerts. He played with icons like Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry, played as support for Fats Domino and Joe Cocker on stage, hosted TV shows, composed the music for one of Germany's most successful cinema film and currently is part of the jury for the ambitious children TV project "Your Song", in which the composition of children have the chance of being performed by stars. In the year 2006 "Steinway-Artist" Joja Wendt was on a world tour with the "Steinway Family Tour" for nearly 6 months and played in sold out concerts before enthusiastic audiences on 4 continents, in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Indonesia, the USA and Canada. Right after his show at Sunrise Kempinski Yanqi Lake he will start his China-tour 2015 (see more on his website www.jojawendt.de).

"The ladies might like to consider feather boas and cute hat, while the gents need look no further than a white scarf and perhaps a silver tipped cane," he adds with a smile, but assures that guests are not obliged to be so extravagant.

THX And China's SAPPRFT Test Institute Partner To Define New Cinema Quality Standards

THX And China's SAPPRFT Test Institute Partner To Define New Cinema Quality Standards

Addressing the Need for Improved Monitoring, Implementation and Education, THX is Lending its Expertise to Advancing China's Cinema Industry

BEIJING, Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --THX Holdings Ltd. (THX) announces a cooperative agreement with SAPPRFT Test Institute of Film Technical Quality (TIFTQ), marking the beginning of the companies' efforts to co-develop new cinema standards and services for the Chinese market. On August 28, 2015 a ceremony in Beijing kicked off the cooperation. Industry leaders and key media were present to witness the execution of the agreement by Gong Bo, Deputy Director of SAPPRFT Film Technology and Quality Inspection Center, and Louis Cacciuttolo, THX Executive Vice-President of International Business Development and Brand Strategy.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150831/262524

In the past few years, China's cinema industry experienced tremendous growth with approximately 5,000 new auditoriums opening each year. This feverish pace of construction has outpaced the education of cinema design, installation and maintenance professionals - often resulting in poor architectural and acoustic design as well as underperforming audio and video systems. The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT) operates through TIFTQ as the only third-party testing institute for China's film industry.

The collaboration between SAPPRFT's TIFTQ and THX is of utmost significance as it marks the very first time a foreign entity will participate in defining national quality standards for China's cinema industry. The goals of the partnership are to develop advanced evaluation, testing and calibration methodologies that will be applied by the administration to ensure the newly defined standards are met by all operating auditoriums regardless of location, size or playback format.

The two companies plan to open a quality inspection laboratory that will provide testing, evaluation and certification services for audio-visual professional products and relevant cinema equipment. The companies also aim to create specialized training courses for cinema technicians, calibrators and projectionists for the technical installation, adjustment, operation and maintenance of Chinese cinemas.

"This strategic partnership is an ideal combination of both parties' strengths," explains Louis Cacciuttolo. "THX's 30 years of expertise in cinema design, coupled with TIFTQ's technical authority in the market will provide the optimal solution for better quality, better performance and system issue resolution for China's film industry."

About Test Institute of Film Technical Quality, SAPPRFT
SAPPRFT's Test Institute of Film Technical Quality is the only state authoritative test organization for the film industry in China. Its functions include: testing and certification of film technology equipment and environment; testing and evaluating of film production and screening technique quality; software evaluation for the film industry; testing of radio/ film/ television related systems, equipment and products; bidding and testing of radio/ film/ television projects and equipment; providing testing and certification guarantees for film technology and quality; service of process design, equipment installation and debugging; and project supervision for screening environment, architectural acoustics and electro-acoustics. It owns a film technology and quality detection laboratory, software testing laboratory, and television technique evaluation laboratory, as well as advanced test equipment and devices for digital film, digital video-audio, optical equipment, film environment and technique - all up to advanced international standards.

About THX:
Founded by George Lucas 30 years ago and recognized by audiences around the globe, THX is synonymous with the certification of world-class cinemas and recording studios, premium audio systems for home and automotive applications along with high definition and 4K displays.

Last night's VMAs were filled with out-of-this-world performances,

Taylor Swift nabbed the most Moonmen with a total of four including "Video of the
Year" for "Bad Blood". But it was Kanye West who stole the show with a 13-minute speech that ended with him
announcing his run for precedency in 2020, after receiving the
prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

"We wanted to make sure that we could bring Attack on Titan to as many fans as possible and we've put together a great network of theatrical partners to do just that," said Mike DuBoise, COO of FUNimation. "That said, we know Attack on Titan will draw in people new to anime as well as fans of other genres like horror and sci-fi. This movie will not disappoint."

Currently, Gray directly handles national advertising sales at approximately one-quarter of its television stations. In January 2016, Gray will expand this direct sales approach to nearly all of its television stations.

"Katz and CoxReps have served Gray's stations very well over many years," said Hilton H. Howell, Jr., Gray's CEO and President. "After very careful consideration, we have determined that the rapidly changing marketplace now requires that nearly all of our stations directly interface with national advertising agencies and clients."

Gray has hired Becky Meyer, formerly the Vice President of Sales for Katz Media Group's Continental Television Sales division in Chicago, to lead its national sales efforts as its new Vice President of National Sales. In addition, Gray has hired Mike Jones, as Gray's new National Director of Political Sales. Mr. Jones formerly represented scores of television stations in national political advertising sales, including many of Gray's stations, as a Vice President with Continental.

The amount by which our national advertising sales commissions will decrease (after increases in Gray's own personnel costs) depends primarily on the volume of national advertising sales revenue, and especially political advertising revenue, that the effected stations achieve once they directly handle their own national sales. We anticipate that expense savings due to the termination of the national advertising sales representation agreements, net of increased personnel expense, will be in the range of $8 million to $9 million in 2016, with net savings continuing in the years thereafter. In addition to these cost savings, we expect that our new strategy will have at least a marginally positive impact on national advertising revenue.

The termination of the representation agreements will trigger termination fees payable to the former national representation firms that will be payable in monthly installments throughout 2016 and 2017. We will record a special charge to our third quarter 2015 broadcast expenses of approximately $6.1 million to reflect the anticipated termination fees. We did not include this special charge in the guidance for our anticipated third quarter 2015 results that we issued on August 6, 2015.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-platinum GRAMMY® award winning artist Zedd announces Tyler Acord, aka Scout, as the winner of Guitar Center's Cover Me program.

BIG fan of it," says Zedd. "In fact, the track impressed me so much that I brought it to my label and I'm excited to announce that it's going to be released on Interscope!"

Listen to Scout's winning submission here:guitarcenter.com/zedd

Scout's musical journey began at 13 years old when he started playing turntables, with dreams of one day being a DMC battle champion. It wasn't until his dad brought him home Sony Acid software that he began making beats, leading him to fall in love with music and pursue studies in theory and songwriting at both Tacoma School of the Arts and Cornish in Seattle. After his studies, Scout moved to Los Angeles where an internship at Atlantic Records lead to a full time job as an engineer, where he learned the tricks of the trade and was able to work for some of the best writers and producers in the world. With two years of experience behind the board, Scout formed a band called Issues, which offered him the opportunity to tour and play shows around the world. He has since stopped touring with the band in order to fully focus on his true passion: production.
