THANKS FOR LOOKING MORE INFO ON THE ARTIST RELEASE- Kiss often styled as KISS is an American hard rock band formed in New York City in January 1973 by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and the band s original manager, Lew Linet.
Well known for its members face paint and stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid-to-late 1970s with their elaborate live performances which featured fire breathing, blood-spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnics.
The band has gone through multiple lineup changes, with Stanley and Simmons the only remaining original members.
Counting the 1978 solo albums, Kiss has been awarded 30 gold albums to date, the most of any American band.
The band has sold more than 40 million albums in the United States, of which 25 million have been certified by the RIAA and their worldwide sales exceed 100 million records, making them one of the world s best-selling bands of all time.
4 The original and best-known lineup consisted of Stanley lead vocals and rhythm guitar , Simmons vocals and bass guitar , Ace Frehley lead guitar and vocals and Peter Criss drums and vocals .
With their make-up and costumes, they took on the personae of comic book-style characters: The Starchild Stanley , The Demon Simmons , The Spaceman or Space Ace Frehley and The Catman Criss .
Stanley became the Starchild because of his tendency to be referred to as a starry-eyed lover and hopeless romantic .
The Demon make-up reflected Simmons cynicism and dark sense of humor, as well as his affection for comic books.
Frehley s Space Ace make-up was a reflection of his fondness for science fiction, technology,and his supposedly being from another planet.
Criss Catman make-up was in accordance with the belief that he had nine lives, because of his rough childhood in Brooklyn.
Due to creative differences, both Criss and Frehley departed the group by 1982.
The band s commercial fortunes had waned considerably by that point.
After 1982 s Creatures of the Night, the band decided it was time for a change.
With the release of the album Lick It Up the following year, the band debuted a new look with a more colorful wardrobe and no face paint to coincide with the hair metal movement.
Throughout the 80 s, the band were able to bring reclaim their commercial fortunes with a string of platinum albums and successful music videos on MTV.
Tragedy struck the band in late 1991 when their drummer Eric Carr died from a cerebral hemorrhage after being treated for heart cancer earlier in the year.
Buoyed by a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original lineup in 1996 and the return of the members wearing make-up.
The resulting Kiss Alive/Worldwide Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996 and 1997.
Criss and Frehley have both since left the band again and have been replaced by Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, respectively.
Kiss has been named in many Top lists.
These include Number 10 on VH1 s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock , 9th on The Greatest Metal Bands list by MTV, number one on Hit Paraders s Top 100 Live Bands , 56th on VH1 s 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time , and 26th on Gibson s 50 Greatest American Rock Bands .
On April 10, 2014, Kiss was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Transtar was the first radio network to provide 24-hour music programming to local affiliates.
The slate of 24-hour networks is now owned by Westwood One and operated by Dial Global.
The studios are located in Valencia, California.History Transtar was founded in 1981 by C.
Terry Robinson.
The network debuted at around the same time as the Satellite Music Network, based in Mokena, Illinois.
Both companies marketed themselves to prospective affiliates by offering carefully selected music presented by major market talent of high quality that a local station could never afford, as well as the capability of using existing studio equipment like reel-to-reel tape decks and cartridge playback machines to help make an affordable transition.
A station signing up for the service would likely need a satellite antenna and receiver, a 25 Hz tone generator to place at the end of commercial clusters at the end of a break recorded on the reel, and 25/35 Hz tone sensors to trigger local liners and station identification.
The network communicated with affiliates by using a computer printer most likely in the studio that would keep local programming staff informed of announcer changes, closed circuit feeds, and other vital information.
While Satellite Music Network had more affiliates, Transtar offered one major advantage over SMN...a digital cue system.
This was especially important among potential affiliates that were FM stations.
The digital cue system allowed the network to cue tape machines at the local affiliate station with external data channels sent on a separate digital subcarrier.
SMN, on the other hand, cued stations using a subaudible tone on the program feed as it was aired live, but eliminated them from being heard by listeners through filtering out the lower end of the audio signal.
While the difference in audio would be negligible at worst on an AM affiliate, it was particularly obvious on an FM station subscribing to the service when a bass line heard on a particular favorite song was now found to be missing.
An engineer at the receiving station could tweak the lower end of the signal by making adjustments on the station s audio processing, allowing the missing bass line to be heard, but then the subaudible cues would, as a result, be fully audible over the air.
Transtar used this as a sales tool when marketing their service to prospective affiliates, while often charging inventory on top of a monthly subscription fee, feeling that prospective affiliates would be willing to pay more for a higher quality service.
On the downside, announcer shifts, because they originated on the West Coast, all began and ended in the Pacific Time Zone, which made it difficult for East Coast-based affiliates to successfully market individual announcer dayparts, particularly during the morning.
This would change years later, when announcer start times were adjusted to favor Eastern and Central Time zones.
In 1989, the company merged with the United Stations Radio Network which had already bought the RKO Radio Networks in 1985 .
The new company was named Unistar.
That entity, in turn, was bought by Westwood One in 1993.
The music networks were run as a self-branded division of Westwood One until 2006, when the agreement with Dial Global began.
