Ive know this for a little while now, but I guess I can talk about it since its now official. I used to subscribe to them back in the 90s, Definately the best Dance Music magazine available. It has everything from talk and reviews on Radio Stations, and even Critics judging all the new singles and each remix it offers. They interview DJs Artists and labels. This is awesome, I have been in touch with them for the past few years and been begging them to come back. I think this could help the industry alot. You wont agree with every opinion they give, but they always seemed to offer pretty unbiased Dance Music news. I wonder if Peter Raulhaufer will be a big part in the mag and have his own column like before. I also wonder if they will still have the OH Canada feature where they report on the Canadian Dance Scene and radio, mostly CIDC, but back then they wrote alot about Energy 108 and Power 88.5 as well. Maybe they will even offer a European-International column. I discovered the Energy 108, Hot 103.5, and Power 88.5 online streams through DMA mag. I also discoverd Mexico's Alfa Radio 91.3 through DMA,,,, Alfa Radio used to be a Dance station, now they are Rock or Urban leaned. I even discovered Cyber Radio 92.7 Chicago through that Mag..... I wonder if they will offer their free one year subscription through a CD purchase like before.

Well Brett, just like before, im sure there will be some writers and critics that you cant stand, and others that you think are good people, some of which are more experienced and opinionated than others. I do hope that this time around they will give more attention to the non com school stations, like your Z88.9, WMPH, C-89.5, and WBDG Indianapolis, and hopefully some attention on the number of HD-2 stations, as well as the popular net only stations like Energy 98, I-party, D.I, and 1 Club.fm....... Hopefully they will interview people like you and Kris, and give the school stations some much needed national attention. The non coms never get the credit they deserve, I dont remember DMA ever mentioning C-89.5 back then, but maybe I overlooked that part or didnt get that particular issue. They need to put a whole column just for the school stations, and one for the net stations as well. We will just have to wait and see.

They gave Non-Coms credit before my old station had a nice write up in there. The person that started this thread knows exactly what I mean about being un-bias.
