Continental Vista Launches iSEEradio

iSEEradio, a Continental Vista interactive broadcasting network, officially launched at the recent NAB Radio Show. iSEEradio, a one-stop solution for cutting-edge radio, broadcasts audio and video over the Internet, adding an exciting visual dimension to radio.

Using iSEEradio's interactive media player, radio stations monetize their content, maximize advertising and e-commerce revenue, and strengthen audience loyalty. Interactive ads run continuously in the player without ever diverting the audience away from broadcasts. This enables viewers to make purchases directly through the player while they watch, and allows advertisers to create a one-to-one relationship with viewers and reach targeted audiences.

Clear Channel's 94.5 FM The Buzz in Houston has already begun to see the benefits of this technology by broadcasting the Anheuser-Busch-sponsored Bud Light Peep Show, featuring the popular Rod Ryan Morning Show. The Bud Light Peep Show and Buzzfest, a semiannual music festival, have drawn viewers from around the world, including Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, France, Australia, Madagascar, and Poland.

"iSEEradio gives us a great opportunity to delve into a new world and offer our advertisers something cutting-edge," said Stephanie Donovan, director of non-traditional revenue at Clear Channel. "We're really capitalizing on this huge wave of Internet advertising. The possibilities are endless."

The iSEEradio media player allows fans to see and interact with their favorite DJs and celebrity guests using interactive features such as chat rooms, forums, and Talk2Event. Other features include Talk2Advertiser, polls, real-time statistics, live tickers and feedback meters. Stations increase time spent listening, expand their reach to include a global audience, and broadcast increased content, including shows, concerts, festivals, remotes and charity drives.

In a moving demonstration of the power of iSEEradio's broadcasting system, the Rod Ryan Show raised more than $500,000 for victims of hurricane Katrina during a live fund-raising broadcast.

IMF Executive Board Discusses the First Assessment of Eligible Countries under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative

On December 21, 2005 the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) established the list of countries that qualify for debt relief from the Fund under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI). Debt relief delivery, which could start as soon as January 3, 2005, is now conditional on getting the consents of all the contributors to the Subsidy Account of the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) Trust, whose contributions help finance the Initiative. The MDRI will deliver debt relief from the Fund to qualifying members countries with an annual per capita income at or below US$380, and to countries above the threshold that have reached the completion point under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative. The implementation of the MDRI will reduce the external debt burden of a number of the world's poorest countries and will provide additional resources to help them reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Background The Executive Board appro...

Oil’s chaotic collapse deepens; stocks drop worldwide

Image
NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices crumpled even further Tuesday, and U.S. stocks sank to their worst loss in weeks as worries swept markets worldwide about the economic carnage caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The market’s spotlight was again on oil, where prices have plummeted because very few people are flying or driving, and factories have shut amid widespread stay-at-home orders. Global demand is set to drop to levels last seen in the mid 1990s. At the same time, oil producers can’t slow their production fast enough, and all the extra crude means storage tanks are quickly running out of room. The cost for a barrel of U.S. oil to be delivered in June plunged 43% to $11.57. That’s the part of the market that oil traders are focused on and trading most actively. For oil to be delivered next month, which is when storage tanks could top out, the cost of a barrel stood at $10.01. A day earlier, it fell below zero for the first time, meaning traders paid others to take oil off their hand...

Mapping Extreme Poverty Around the World A new report from the

Image
A new report from the  World Bank  just landed, finding that a record low of 10% of humanity now live in extreme poverty, down from 11% in 2013. But poverty rates aren’t anywhere close to equal between continents or even countries, as our new series of maps clearly demonstrates. The World Bank provides an in-depth explanation for its methodology, which you can find in Appendix A of the full report  here . We focused on the percentage of people in each country living below what the World Bank defines as extreme poverty, or $1.90/day. We’ll let the researchers defend this definition on their own, but there is one caveat to keep in mind. It can be extraordinarily difficult to collect reliable data from so many countries on a regular basis, and in fact we used the latest year in which numbers were available whenever possible. For example, in some of these maps we compare 2011 figures against 2015. In short, our maps provide the clearest possible apples-to-apples compa...
