Arizona Daily Wildcat
In a bid to promote Alanis Morissette's upcoming album, Under Rug Swept (coming to stores Feb. 26), Radio Free Virgin has announced a partnership with the Maverick artist to launch an Internet radio channel feed featuring tracks from Alanis' catalog, cuts from the new album, as well as songs by some of Alanis' favorite artists. Morissette chooses all content on AlanisRadio. In addition, the play list will include interview clips that provide insight into Alanis' songs and the artist herself. Boasting more than 3 million listeners, Radio Free Virgin will provide additional promotion of Alanis' new album through a one-hour audio show airing in all U.S. Virgin Megastores.
"Through Radio Free Virgin's incredible listener base and our broad reach through the Virgin family, we are able to provide Alanis and Maverick an online/offline advantage over anyone else in the space," general manager of Radio Free Virgin Zack Zalon said.

Ozzy Osbourne launches reality show
Associated Press
First, there was "Survivor." Then came "Fear Factor."
Now, reality television watchers can follow the daily activities of rock musician Ozzy Osbourne and his family on MTV in "The Osbournes."
"What you see on the show is absolutely us," Osbourne says in the Feb. 23 issue of TV Guide. "None of it's been doctored or manufactured. It's real. It's the Ozzy Osbourne 'Real World.'"
In one episode, his 17-year-old daughter has a birthday party and he spends the evening wagging his finger at her friends, yelling "Don't smoke!" and trying to be heard over thumping techno music.
"What is this?" Osbourne finally asks. "It's music to get a brain seizure by."
The show begins March 5.
