MEDIA RELEASE: Mediazoic  and Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Announce Partnership

 

Mediazoic and The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (CSHF) announced earlier this week, the formation of a partnership, which will see CSHF curate a stream of premium Canadian songwriting content on Mediazoic's internet radio network, http://mediazoic.com/.

As part of the CSHF//PACC's mandate to honour, celebrate and educate Canadians about the outstanding accomplishments of Canadian popular music songwriters, a special gala honouring inductees has been held annually since 2003, featuring live performances by a who's who of contributors to Canada's music legacy. Recorded in high-quality sound, these never-before-heard performances form the basis for programming a new, customized Mediazoic channel.

 

"Few people, even Canadians, are aware of the depth of Canada's rich musical heritage and the enormous impact our country's songwriters have had on contemporary music around the world." said Dominic Denny, Executive Director of CSHF/PACC. "This partnership with a very exciting new service puts us in an ideal position to expose more people on more platforms to that deep well of Canadian songwriting talent.""
