The Company operates LiveXLive, one of the industry's leading live music streaming platforms Slacker Radio, a streaming music pioneer and also produces original music-related content. (NASDAQ: LIVX) (the "Company") is a global digital media company focused on live entertainment. Grammy nominee Cam, whose "Burning House" was the top-selling single by a female country artist in 2015, is the station's first host. #WCE Country will be hosted and curated by female artists, with additional women in the music industry adding commentary and selecting songs. "Women have always been the cornerstone of country music, and their voices need to be heard." "I'm thrilled that there's another platform to support female artists," said Leslie Fram, the co-founder of Change the Conversation and the senior vice president of strategy at CMT. Held at WME's Nashville office, attendees included musicians, songwriters' managers, journalists, and other women involved in Nashville's music industry, many of whom were given VIP access to the Slacker Studio app to share their perspective and personal stories on #WCE Country. In keeping with one of #WCE's goals - breaking emerging artists - Natalie Stovall, Post Monroe, and Lauren Duski performed. #WCE Country and the Slacker Studio app were unveiled at the August 7 launch party. I'm excited that, through Slacker, we can bring the music of female country artists directly to our audience, curated by the people who are most passionate about it – the women in Nashville's music industry." This doesn't reflect the quality of music created by women it reflects a lack of support from the gatekeepers of country music who believe that women have limited commercial appeal. "In 2017, more than 97% of the artists who appeared on the year-end Country Top 40 were male. "We have amazingly talented women making music in Nashville, and they deserve to be heard," said Jess Wright, Slacker's Country Format Captain.
