What is Fame Games

Fame Games is not “just a music radio show.” In fact, it’s nothing short of a revolution in how music is selected and promoted today. Fame Games gives the best independent artists valuable A&R opportunities, advice and career guidance, as well as a potentially massive new audience through network radio play based on merit (finally!), compiled daily using a sophisticated song evaluation system.

Fame Games introduces discerning listeners to the very best new music, produced by “undiscovered” independent and “unsigned” artists. Shockingly, the quality of music which reaches the top of the Fame Games charts easily rivals (and often outstrips) the quality of music listeners are force-fed by national network radio and TV.

Fame Games is formatted as an entertaining, daily radio show, with something for everyone. New music is showcased and discussed and put in context for new fans to discover and embrace. The show is a “front” for MMI’s complex song evaluation system which continues to find the very best new artists and songs every day. The show’s host, DJ Crier, is supported by a diversified judging panel which includes accomplished music industry professionals as well as representatives of divergent demographics, in order to best reflect upon any song’s “crossover” potential.

With incisive song analyses, entertaining presenters, frequent world-famous guests on “The Red Carpet” and most importantly showcases of the best music you never knew existed, Fame Games is guaranteed to keep you glued to your radio day in and day out!

Fame Games also features the exclusive “Cowell Factor,” presented by Tony Cowell (Simon’s older, wiser brother and head of CowellMedia). This strategic alliance has nothing to do with the likes of American Idol or X-Factor. In fact, it’s a wholehearted endorsement of something quite opposite. Tony’s come onboard to help Fame Games to discover (and place!) real, un-manufactured world-class musical talent!

Fame Games airs daily through CitadelMedia (ABC) radio networks, as well as on demand, online on the Fame Games and MeerMusic sites and affiliated sites.

Fame Games is the best place for artists and fans to meet, and entertain realistic hopes of saving the world from bad music!
