David Bowie to Launch Children's Radio
July 11, 2001 David Bowie announced today that his website (www.davidbowie.com) will launch an Internet Radio Station for kids called Kick Out the Jammies (KOTJ). The station
includes a variety of music for children of all ages, hand picked by Mr.
Bowie and members of his online community, BowieNet.
Inspired by his daughter Alexandria (born last August), KOTJ follows on the
heels of two other Internet Radio Stations launched by Bowie earlier this
year.
"It was fairly inevitable, I suppose," said Bowie. "I was putting together
tapes to play while Alex took a bath or had breakfast or... and it occurred
to me that it would be a nice thing to put together a station's worth of
stuff for kids."
Unlike the previous two Internet Radio Stations launched by Bowie which are
available only to members of his Internet Community, Kick Out the Jammies
will be available to both members and non-members alike.
"This is just the first in a series of fun things we have planned for this
summer," a spokesman from BowieNet said.
Like the other channels of BowieRadio, KOTJ will utilize RealNetworks
technology to stream high quality audio. KOTJ also utilizes the same
proprietary Internet radio solution developed by AxisPoint that automates
reporting to performing rights organizations like ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.
