Excerpt:
Live Nation is a live-events company based in Beverly Hills, California, focused on concert promotions. Live Nation formed in 2005 as a spin-off from Clear Channel Communications, which then merged with Ticketmaster in 2010 to become Live Nation Entertainment.
Live Nation "signs" artists as a "record label", but predominantly takes the role of a promoter, rather than "owner of music". The deal with U2 and Madonna for example does not include copyright of the artists' future recordings. The 2007 deal signed with Jay-Z does include the rapper's future recordings.[1][2] Live Nation signed Colombian singer Shakira, Canadian band Nickelback and Mexican singer Luis Miguel.

Donald Trump and the Emanuel Brothers What's the Deal
Excerpt:
“Deal” would be the best word to describe the relationship among Rahm, Ari, and Trump, who employs Ari as his agent and gave Rahm $50,000 for his run for mayor last December.

Mark Wahlberg issues apology for 9/11 comments
Laura Clarizio, Internet Trends Examiner
Mark Wahlberg is under fire for comments he made to a magazine about the September 11th terrorist attacks. The Boston bred singer/model turned actor and director is a hot Internet Trend after Men's Journal released an article where the former Marky Mark rapper says things would have been different had he not changed his plans. Walhlberg was scheduled to be on Flight 93, one of the planes that crashed into the world trade center, but reportedly changed his plans.
Agency Merger Turns Ari Emanuel Into Hollywood’s Newest Heavy
By Mark Graham
Excerpt:
So what does this all mean, exactly? Well, to be blunt, it means that everyone in town is afraid of him. Not only does he control the careers of a number of Hollywood's best and brightest talents, but the fact that his older brother Rahm is Barack Obama's chief of staff gives Ari an added aura of power and mystique that rivals some of Hollywood's all-time biggest power brokers. One thing that Masters does not make clear in her piece is exactly how Emanuel will begin wielding his power to shape the agency entertainment company in his image. As long as we're writing about it, though, we'd like to offer up a suggestion for Ari: how about starting off by ensuring that Andy Samberg stops making fun of one of your most prized clients? Let's see if he has the clout to pull that off.

Kraig Kitchen Resigns
Kraig Kitchin has announced his resignation as president of Premier Radio Networks. Kraig Kitchen was co-founder of Premier Radio and many of you have heard Art Bell talk about how much he helped Art through difficult times. This announcement was apparently made the same day Art Bell announced his retirement.
Art Bell's program became more slanted towards the right, misquotes of Iran's president were highly inflammatory and seemed geared towards trying to provoke a war. I wrote to him about this, about the quotes out of context, and how taken out of context they meant exactly the opposite of what they meant in context. To this I received no reply.
This article on Unknown Country, gives some insight with respect to the corporate culture at Clear Channel. It might give further insight as to the reason for Art Bell's resignation. It is clear that the company line stating that Art Bell resigned because he wanted to spend more time with family is just so much bovine excrement.
Kraig Kitchin has stated that his future projects will be much more tightly focused. I can't help but wonder if some future collaboration between Art Bell and Kraig Kitchin might be in the works? Perhaps one not so burdened with heavy handed control by Clear Channel? We can only speculate and hope.
