		<description><![CDATA[The market forces conspired against MOG, a music service and blog network started by David Hyman. The growing popularity of Spotify saw the company fall on hard times and was sold in pieces. One half went to Beats Audio &#38; Townsquare media has bought the other half.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=paidcontent.org&#038;blog=33319749&#038;post=216882&#038;subd=gigaompaidcontent&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Townsquare Media of Greenwich, CT, that runs live events and owns radio properties <a href="http://townsquaremedia.com/townsquare-media-group-acquires-mog-music-network-and-will-rename-the-business-townsquare-media/">has bought</a> the MOG Music Network business. The news was <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20120823/the-rest-of-mog-finds-a-home-radio-chain-townsquare-buys-ad-network/">first reported earlier this morning</a> by Peter Kafka who says the transaction was around $10 million.   The terms of the deal weren&#8217;t officially announced. These are blogs, reviews sites, concert &amp; event information sites, artist sites and lyrics sites that were part of music subscription service MOG, that was started by David Hyman. MOG&#8217;s subscription service was <a href="http://gigaom.com/2012/07/03/why-mog-sold-for-only-14m/">acquired by Beats Audio in July for $14 million</a>.</p>
<p>MOG network has more than 62 million monthly U.S. unique visitors and 170 million monthly global unique visitors, making it the largest music-focused ad network in the United States. GigaOM had heard that MOG was hoping to sell its music service &amp; blog-network business separately. MOG had raised $25 million in venture funding. This concludes our coverage of MOG.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Local newspapers may actually have an easier time charging for content than national and international news brands like the New York Times (NYSE: NYT). And what&#8217;s the biggest threat to paid music? Well, probably not piracy. These were among the assertions by panelists on paidContent2010&#8242;s <em>The Truth About Subscriptions</em>, who included <strong>Steve Brill</strong>, co-founder of Journalism Online, <strong>David Hyman</strong>, CEO of MOG, and <strong>Jeff Price</strong>, president and publisher of <em>The Sporting News</em>. Price also offered some details on his new subscription plan. The panel was moderated by <strong>Staci D. Kramer.</strong> </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Highlights from our Staci Kramer&#8217;s conversation with <strong>Steven Brill</strong> of Journalism Online, <strong>Jeff Price</strong> of <em>The Sporting News</em> and <strong>David Hyman</strong> of MOG:</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>Sporting News:</strong> A new convert to the paid content model. Price, who <a href="http://paidcontent.org/article/419-former-si-digital-head-jeff-price-joins-sporting-news-as-president-publ/" title="just joined">just joined</a> <em>Sporting News</em> as publisher this week, says that the <em>Sporting News</em> will charge $2.99 for a subscription to <i>Sporting News Today</i> &#8212; across any device. A &#8220;few hundred thousand&#8221; people currently get the <a href="http://paidcontent.org/article/419-the-sporting-news-reinvents-itself-again-goes-to-digital-daily-slashes-/" title="free daily digital edition">free daily digital edition</a>, Price says. He expects 20 to 30 percent of those to pay. </p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>*The New York Times* metered model:</strong> Brill, who is trying to pitch his own online payment platform Press + to media outlets, is a fan. &#8220;Nothing like seeing the converted,&#8221; he says. But, he adds, &#8220;I think it will be easier for local newspapers to implement the &#8230; approach.&#8221; Brill says there are journalistic merits when publications implement paywalls. &#8220;Newsrooms are better when journalists know that readers are paying part of the freight,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>When to charge and when not to charge:</strong> Sitting in the audience, <em>Slate</em>&#8216;s Jacob Weisberg argues that paid models work for convenience &#8212; so for access on the Kindle or an iPhone app &#8212; but not for general online access. MOG&#8217;s Hyman &#8212; who offers music subscriptions for $5 a month &#8212; counters that the distinction doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
