"MOVIE MAGAZINE" & "SHOESTRING" NOW AIRING ON THE INTERNET

SAN FRANCISCO - The non-profit radio production company Shoestring Radio
Theatre announced today that its two nationally-syndicated radio
programs--"Movie Magazine International" and "Shoestring Radio
Theatre"--will now air each week on the Internet via flagship station
KUSF-FM in San Francisco, which recently began simulcasting 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week on Audio.Net, a web site which transmits live radio
programming in RealAudio format.

Anyone in the world with a compatible computer system can listen to the
programs on the Internet as they air Wednesday nights on KUSF, 90.3 FM in
San Francisco. "Movie Magazine International" airs from 9:00 - 9:30 PM
(Pacific time); Internet listeners will hear the local edition of the
show, which differs slightly from the national edition heard on satellite.
"Shoestring Radio Theatre" airs from 9:30 - 10:00 PM (Pacific time).

In order to access KUSF's live RealAudio feed, listeners will need the
RealAudio Player. Version 1.0 (which supports AM radio sound quality)
requires a 14.4 Kbps modem or better and is available for Macintosh and
Windows. Version 2.0 (which supports near FM mono sound quality) requires
a 28.8 Kbps modem or better and currently is available for PowerMacintosh,
Windows, and most Unix operating systems. Computer users can get more
information about RealAudio, or download a free copy of the player, at the
RealAudio home page on the World Wide Web (http://www.realaudio.com).
KUSF's RealAudio live feed is located at Audio.Net and can be accessed
from Shoestring Radio Theatre's web site (http://www.shoestring.org/),
KUSF's web site (http://www.usfca.edu/usf/kusf/), or Audio.Net's web site
(http://www.audionet.com/pub/kusf/kusf.htm).

"Movie Magazine International" is a 30-minute entertainment guide which
covers the local and national film scene with movie reviews, special
reports, weekly trivia contests, and interviews with directors and actors
from yesterday and today. "Shoestring Radio Theatre"--a 30-minute radio
drama program--draws on a pool of local talent to write, direct, and
perform works which span an astonishing range of genres and styles:
everything from classic murder mysteries to slapstick comedies to
historical romances to contemporary dramas. The programs currently are
heard on a confirmed station line-up of 93 radio stations in 25 states via
the Public Radio Satellite System.
