Upstream Music Group

to to prioritize the Record / Act at Rhythmic / Top 40 / Rock or Alternative Radio UMG will lay out a roadmap of Radio Stations that are within the format and most likely to have a positive response and will consider working the Record into a category for airplay. Once the list of Phase 1 targets are identified UMG will use its credible influence and Radio Promoter contacts to get the Record enough Airplay in order to read the Records potential . If the Phase 1 airplay returns signs of “hit potential “ a Phase 2 will be executed which will be a more “aggressive “ Radio Promotion campaign. Should an Artist / Manager or Investor has an unsigned Artist and wants to get a Label deal or increase the value of a Record / Artist UMG will put together a similar campaign as described above .
