   Los Angeles:  Rock Around the World? (RATW), the highly acclaimed and
nationally syndicated radio program is coming back April 1, 1995, in a
bigger and bolder format on the Internet through the World Wide Web. 
Don¹t miss RATW at the following web site address:

   RATW was America¹s radio show during the 70¹s.  It was heard on more
than 160 stations, coast to coast, in the top 100 markets throughout the
U.S. and the American Forces Radio & Television Services worldwide.  It
exposed America to such groups as The Who, Eric Clapton, The Rolling
Stones, Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Bob Seger,
E.L.O, and many others.  They were all interviewed and many heard on RATW
for the very first time on American Radio.

   Danny Lipman, RATW¹s creative founder, has again developed a winning
formula.  The RATW Internet site is designed to enable the viewer to,
literally, Rock Around the World through a wide range of entertaining
files, including RATW radio broadcasts, music sound bites, rock history,
new releases, radio programming, interviews, rock trivia, travel, and many
others.

   In addition to the Internet, RATW is negotiating with radio stations
throughout the World to begin re-broadcasting the Best of RATW as well as
new programming.  With their vast library of RATW audio tapes, 232
separate broadcasts, featuring interviews and music from the 70¹s World of
Rock, they¹ll keep you entertained through a variety of mediums well into
the next century.

   RATW captured the attention of its faithful listeners from its
inception in 1974.   Throughout the next four years its following
multiplied exponentially.  The weekly syndicated show, which ranged from
an hour to 1 and 1/2  hours, teamed up with Lipman¹s monthly rock music
newspaper R.A.T.W., and carved out a niche in radio syndication.  It
started as an outgrowth of a recording studio Lipman had in Boston.  This
followed his stint in national promotion for Elektra Records.   The
studio, Music Designers, was where he produced George Thorogood¹s first
recording, as well as RATW.  Lipman also operated an advertising agency,
handling radio accounts for recording companies, such as Warner Bros,
Atlantic, Elektra, and five retail record stores.
