SDC OmniMedia Group's CEO Kenneth Howard Smith to -- GOOGLE: ". . .$500 MILLION IN CASH AND IT'S YOURS."

 

WEST SACRAMENTO CA (IFS) -- Kenneth Howard Smith, CEO/President of SDC OmniMedia Group and its many subsidiaries is being investigated by Arista Records, et al., on the use of their music on Smith's radio stations.  In 1989, Clive Davis, then president of Arista Records invited Smith to run RCA and A&M Records. Smith declined the offer as he wanted to continue working with Platinum Sound/D-Town Records.  It is so ironic that a company you once recorded for now is claiming copyright violations for broadcasting its music. 

Smith was deeply into computer programming, as his success in the early days at Oxnard College where he attended the code writing class.  He and his co-students group created a program for the schools attendance.  Later that program morphed into Smith's first commercial offering called "CHECKMATE".  

In the early days of radio broadcasting for Smith, he started with the Mutual Broadcasting Systems, than was quickly picked up by than Rock Station KUTY of Palmdale California where he and Don Imus help drive the morning show.

Smith's job was to sort through the records and pick the hits according to Billboard, CashBox and Record World Magazines of that day.  Smith also managed to sneak in a couple of songs after the Program Directors review.  One such lucky group was THREE DOG NIGHT.

Smith's programming was put to the test when he was asked by Hewlett-Packard to write a program that would the spaces before and after the period (.) after scanning on its large Black & White scanners that were flatbeds and cost $600 each at that time.  The program "SNAPPER" was created and helped to solve HP's issue with spaces.  For Smith's payment, he was given twelve (12) scanners as part his payment.  

The early days of computer depended on BBS's (Bulleton Boards) to post your programs and download new ones.  The first early internet program was the PAN NETWORK that you had to use a dial-up line to connect to the board and get music and news and record related things.  In early 1986, a small little company called America Online needed a multiline dial up system for their new network.  The beginnings of the AOL  Smith helped to provide sorting codes and IP placement protocols writing it in machine language.

The majority of Smith's code were located in operating systems across many platforms.  Some of his codes are less than 50 lines long that can do a variety of functions.  And that gave Smith the idea to produce his strings into small folders and assigned them to his first esBASE database programs back in 1986.  

Smith started placing his strings into a database that would be called up to design programs.  As with those early programs, when it was released, it quickly became the model of the computer industry and many clones followed behind it.  Smith design of the first Commodore /20/64's word processing program that did no spell checking at first, but a quick note making program that you could save on disk.

Smith's first stations were on the campus of Antelope Valley College where he attempted to established KAVC-FM for the campus in its beginnings.  Later Smith would produce and release Radio Cassettes for his record company called "KDRC MUSIC SERVICES" with new artists getting airplay on majority of the College campus of that time.

The broadcast originated on www.live365.com on its member station(s) KDTN RADIO ONE, SDC RADIO ONE, SDC RADIOMIXX and SDC STARMEDIA RADIO ONE, the USA Flagship stations for SDC DIGITAL RADIO NETWORKS .

". . . As a media distribution outlet for films, music, video commercials, radio commercials, and digital magazines in over 100 countries, it has been  the marriage of radio and music that has produced great recording artists in the pass, Smith continued.  Now all of a sudden, the major recording companies are attempting to dislodge the "digital bind" between these various websites that you can have digital uploaded to various venues instantly.

KDTN Radio One, is a service of SDC Digital Radio Networks, (SDC Radio Networks) a subsidiary of the SDC OmniMedia Group. 

From time to time we produce compilation CD's for sale on iTunes, CDBaby and other digital distribution sites. We have been broadcasting on the internet since 1993 in various venues. 

Our USA sister stations include; SDC Radio One, SDC RadioMIXX, SDC Axisys Radio, FCN Hitsteria Radio One, StarMedia Radio One, KDTN Blogtalk Radio, CKS Blogtalk Radio, IOR Blogtalk Radio and StarMediaNet Radio.

The Look and Sounds of The Future! 

 SDC has been recording and producing music since the early 1960's when Smith started out as a lead singer and bass player with the TeleStars and the Clouds of Lancaster, California.  Smith went on to record his first record with Century Records then Glenn Records of Palmdale, California.  By the middle of 1965 and an appearance at the Hollywood Teen Fair, Smith was discovered by Rick Jarrett and was quickly introduced to Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss of A&M Records.

Smith's first RCA Records was produced by A&M Productions.

The reason Smith's record did not make it, no market for it.  None!  It was a crossed between James Brown, Farron Young and God knows what else mixed with alot of reverb.  No airplay.  Records lives blood is the radio.

Below, the notice expressly says that "YOUR VIDEO" -- We did a radio broadcast on our sister station for specials and other news items at SDC MediaNet Radio powered by Sprecker.com.

Smith also knows about recording companies, having been the CEO/President of D-Town Records for over 35 years.  The D-Town Records catalog speaks for itself.  Two years ago, Smith transferred the label back to the Michael Hanks family. 

Other productions included recording for Sir Paul McCartney's MPL Communications division as it took over the Claridge Records and let the Late Lee Rogers and Smith release the material produced under the Frank Slay era.

Smith's MasterTrack Records he started in 1976 for his groups which included Papa's Results, Total Force, Demene E Hall, Blue Bombers, L. A. Sharks and Broken Toyz.  Papa's Results was originally offered to Motown Records, with Gwen Gordy telling Smith that she all ready had a group like that (meaning the Jackson Five).  However, Ms. Gordy did not sign the group, but instead she signed Smith as a Motown Artist and staff songwriter and producer.  Smith took the masters to Atlantic Records with WEA (Warner-Elecktra-Atlantic) Records for distribution.  As they say, the rest is history.

IRDA had three (3) outstanding groups that came out of their distribution and promotion cycle of that time.  Papa's results to Atlantic, Stella Parton to Monument records and Brick to Bang/CBS Records in the early days.

Other than Lee Rogers own our label, it was magic that got Merrell Fankhauser to record for our little label at the time in 1980's.  Every record label needs one act to pay all the bills.  Merrell was that shot in the arm that Lee and Smith needed to push D-Town Records.  Motown Records under the direction of Gwen Gordy let Hitsville USA handle the first distribution for the Album.

Sometimes you just loose it with these faceless people who know nothing -- nothing at all.  So as of this writing, it appears that Show #8, numbering 1 to 5 with several new add-ons may not be aired at all.  This is a great precedence every herd of in the radio station business, where a radio stations who pays to play is accused of copyright violations .   This issue with Google's youtube.com has been very tested this last couple of years.  They tend to intend their business into yours without even asking you.  They reach has gone to far as Smith offered them to purchase SDC OmniMedia Group's SDC DIGITAL RADIO NETWORKS for $500 Million in cash.

5 Ways to Make a Video Go Viral

If you’re like anyone else uploading to YouTube, you don’t want your video to go neglected with only a few views. With 400 hours of YouTube videos being uploaded every minute, it’s difficult to make yours stand out above the rest. This article provides some helpful tips to get your video seen.

1. Have a Solid Marketing Plan
When it comes to the sharing and marketing process, you want to make sure you have done everything you can to make people aware of your video. Upload your video to every social media platform. Asking friends and family to share is a good start. Don’t be hesitant to send your video to strangers that can relate. For example, if your video is about music, send it to musicians and other music entities. If it is a sports video, send it to athletes.

Send your video to bloggers who like to cover similar topics. Bloggers attract views in order to make money off of ads. Getting many bloggers to cover your video is a win for both parties, and can be the key to your success.

Or, maybe you’re filmed wearing a certain brand and singing at a recognizable location. Use this to your benefit. Reach out to relevant businesses that would be interested in promoting their products through your video.

2. It’s All in the Timing
While the excitement of finishing your video might temp you to upload it immediately, consider the timing before hand. Many people watch videos while at work, so releasing yours on a Monday or Tuesday gives you an advantage.

3. Tell a Story
Chances are someone else is more talented than you at whatever you are doing, but the story you tell with your video can make up for that. People like a good story whether it’s in the movies, books, or music. Try to convey a powerful message that invokes emotions in others. Upbeat emotions tend to be more effective than sadness, so keep your video positive.

4. Keep it Short
When you’re browsing videos on YouTube, are you more likely to click on one that is 15 minutes or one that is 3 minutes? People value their time, so making it convenient to watch your video increases its chances of being viewed. Try to cut uploads down to less than 10 minutes.

5. Simple Titles Work Best
The title of your video can make a world of difference. Avoid anything complex and lengthy. Keep it concise and try to limit it to just keywords. If your title doesn’t roll off the tongue easily, don’t use it.
With a good marketing plan, powerful story, effective title, and timing, you can ensure that your upload won’t go unnoticed and greatly increase the chances of creating a viral YouTube video.

Tracy Newman

Tracy Newman grew up in Los Angeles. She started playing guitar at 14, usually sitting on the diving board of her family’s pool, strumming for hours each day. Back then she was mostly influenced by the Kingston Trio, because she could actually play some of their songs, especially "Tom Dooley” which had, and still has, only two chords. After high school, Tracy wanted to be a folksinger, but her parents insisted she go to college. She went to the U of A in Tucson and quickly discovered the “folk” community. She stopped attending college and began playing on street corners for money, otherwise known as “busking.” Understandably, this freaked out her mother who flew to Tucson and dragged Tracy back to LA for “help.” The therapist, an elderly man in a suit and tie, kept nodding off during the sessions. Apparently, he couldnʼt relate to an upper middle class teenage girl who just wanted to be a folksinger. It’s taken Tracy a while to get back to her dream.

 

In the early 70s, she joined an improv class taught by Gary Austin, which soon became The Groundlings. Tracy is a founding member, and besides performing, she taught and directed. Her sister, Laraine Newman was the first Groundling to be discovered there by Lorne Michaels for Saturday Night Live. Some other Groundling alumni include: Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Paul "Pee Wee Herman” Reubens and Kathy Griffin. It was at the Groundlings that Tracy met her future TV writing partner, Jonathan Stark. Their first staff job was on “Cheers,” followed by "Bob"(Bob Newhart), "The Nanny," “Ellen,” "The Drew Carey Show” and the legendary “Hiller and Diller” (Richard Lewis and Kevin Nealon.) In 1997, Newman and Stark won an Emmy and Peabody Award for writing the groundbreaking “coming out" episode of “Ellen.” In 2001, they created the ABC comedy, "According to Jim," which ran for eight seasons.

Tracy had been writing songs all along, many of which were featured in TV shows. Now she’s once again performing her music full-time. Her CD,A Place in the Sun is still a favorite with young and old alike, for long car rides across the nation. The title track on her latest CD,I Just See You, highlighting the beauty of a long-term relationship, is now a music video on YouTube. Her newest release, (Jan. 2015)I Can Swing Forever is a children’s CD with a coloring book by Tracy’s daughter, writer/artist Charlotte Dean. It has won four prestigious 2015 awards: Parents’ Choice Gold, Dr. Toy’s Best Classic, National Parenting Publication Award Gold Winner and Creative Child Awards CD of the year.

Univision's Jorge Ramos: It's my 'right' to challenge Trump on immigration

DUNNINGAN, CA (IFS)-- Mr. Ramos, you prove to be rude and over barring for a reporter.  It is a custom is this country that one rises his or her hand and request to be heard, and not just bully your way into the conversation just because you can.-khs 

Jorge Ramos says Donald Trump's event on Tuesday was "the first time in my life, anywhere in the world, in which I have been escorted out of a press conference." The Univision anchorman's testy Q&A with Trump has the political and media worlds buzzing.
Some Trump supporters and conservative commentators say the candidate should have left Ramos outside, since the journalist stood up and starting asking questions without being called on.Perhaps both men benefited -- Ramos by getting to challenge Trump in front of millions of viewers, Trump by getting to appear gracious by letting the reporter back in, then tough by responding to the rapid-fire questions.

Trump said on Wednesday's "Today" show that Ramos "was totally out of line last night" and was "ranting and raving like a madman."

But Ramos says it's his "right" as a "U.S. citizen, as an immigrant, and as a journalist" to ask Trump about the candidate's controversial immigration proposals.

Speaking on CNN's "New Day," Ramos said he stood up to ask about Trump's deportation plan.

"The one who is out of line is Donald Trump," Ramos said.

Trump has fostered hatred and division, "and we have to call him out on that," he added.
