Clearwater, FL, August 29, 2006 – Winchester, VA-based coffee house Daily Grind has made SIRIUS Satellite Radio their official restaurant background music.

The service, provided by Applied Media Technologies Corporation (AMTC), consists of 67 channels of commercial-free music from SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI). Under the agreement, AMTC will also provide sound equipment to the company’s locations.

In November of 1995 the doors of the first Daily Grind opened. This first location in Old Town Winchester was a hit and soon there was interest throughout the area for this type of relaxing atmosphere along with a great cup of coffee. After nearly five years of development into a multi-store chain, the company pursued the franchise system in order to give individuals who wanted to own and operate their own business a chance to become a part of the Daily Grind.

NEW YORK - Universal Music is backing a new music download service called SpiralFrog, which will give consumers free music and be funded by advertising.

The start-up company will challenge the dominance of iTunes and is due to launch in December, the Financial Times reports today.

SpiralFrog is headed by Robin Kent, former worldwide chief executive and president of Universal McCann, the Interpublic Group-owned media buying network. He left his role as head of the agency in March 2005 during the £1.5bn General Motors review, which Interpublic eventually lost.
