RKUK Media is a media company that are continuing to aim higher in the media concept of the companies name. To do this RKUK has and intends to make more partnerships with other networks in the field to produce entertainment for the RKUK Media website.

RKUK Media has recently had a massive track record of having a great collection of the latest and greatest in music videos, but that has unfortunately had to change recently with action taken at this years RKUK Developers Conference.

RKUK Media CEO Ben Hanson announced that music on RKUK Media was becoming “irrelevant through competition”, and that the company needed to find “its new reason for being”.

Music videos currently on RKUK Media, including those hosted from Selection DVDs 1 – 97 will remain on RKUK Media for archive purposes, as well the videos uploaded on the newly introduced ‘B4SelDVDs’ service.

RKUK Media has also announced that despite getting rid of music videos in the future, it still has plans to upload music videos from the Selection VHS to RKUK Media in the coming future.

“Music is definitely not leaving RKUK Media though”, Ben was clear to point out. Services such as the home page section for the UK Number 1 Single and Album will still remain as well as many album and single reviews, the only difference will be linking out to third party video sites such as VEVO and YouTube.

What will be music video replaced by?

The question was put to RKUK CEO Ben Hanson and he responded with;

“You can’t replace music, its one of the many foundations that will always remain in your life, and we’re not replacing or removing music from our site at all. We regularly look at whats going off around us as a company and have found that much better services exist offering music videos than what we have, they’re far from perfect (referring to VEVO) and aren’t completely ready yet, but beat the services we had. It was mainly that which made us make this decision. We love music, Ilove music, but its very expensive and we weren’t seeing any profit, and, we we’re even seeing a decline. We will be bringing back old services and working harder on other existing ones on RKUK Media to make the site more engaging and exciting, its a bold and daring move, but we’re gonna risk it!”

The RKUK Media website will begin getting a revamp in response to the new services coming to the website in the coming weeks.

Quickfind is a great way of visually seeing what music videos are available on RKUK Media, and by using browser command CTRL+F (or CMD+F) you can type to find more. But we’re taking that a step further with Artist QuickFind.

Artist QuickFind will be essentially the same as regular QuickFind but for Artists. Each Artist will be separated by alphabetical order, and clicking their name will link to their latest released music video.
In a statement RKUK CEO said “We think that Artist QuickFind is going to be a brilliant way for people to find the songs we’ve got on RKUK Media. Our library is always growing y’know, and we’re now bringing in some old classics which many people may not even realise are on RKUK Media, this is where Artist QuickFind will shine, for example, look we do have A-ha songs, y’know stuff like that”.

Artist QuickFind is expected to launch February 2011.

Dispite recently reaching an incredible 2,000 music videos on RKUK Media last month (not including 100 Christmas Songs arriving 20th Nov) we’re still not convinced that we’ve truly delivered the true music experience that everyone deserves. What we mean by that is simple, Selection DVDs.

May 2005 – Present. Great, but what about the rest?
RKUK Media began collecting music videos for Selection DVDs in May 2005, which are now all available online, but the obvious niggle many people have on this is older music, in fact even songs in earlier 2005 aren’t on RKUK Media. Well, we’re happy to finally announce a fix to this problem.

B4SelectionDVDs - The Fix!
A few week back we announced on our FaceBook page that we would be adding a collection of classic bands to RKUK Media in some way shape or form, but as you all know, some artists and bands, for example Blur and Queen that were mentioned, have no songs at all currently on Selection DVDs so what about them? Well, the same treatment.
Basically, B4SelectionDVDs will be the name of a new channel on RKUK Media including music videos for artists and bands that never made it to Selection DVDs. We will be also allowing member requests and FaceBook requests for new artists or bands to be added to the list on RKUK Media, isn’t that awesome.

Addition of artists to the channel will be rather random, but we are constantly releasing new features on RKUK Media to make it easier to find music on the site so you shouldn’t have much trouble. If you requested a particular artist or band, then you will be informed when they are on.
We will also be adding a new feature to Quickfind called QFArtist (QuickFind Artist). Essentially it will show all artists that have one or more songs on RKUK Media.

Summary
RKUK Media will soon announce a new channel on RKUK Media called B4SelectionDVDs that will be a collection of music prior to the May 2005 starting time of Selection DVDs which has driven the collection of music videos on RKUK Media thus far. The music videos featured will, at first, be random, but RKUK Media will accept requests via members on RKUK Media to FaceBook, Twitter and beyond requests. Along with this RKUK Media is soon to launch QuickFind Artist, so you can visibly see which artists and bands are on RKUK Media.
Artist QuickFind will come in 2011. B4SelectonDVDs will begin in December.

RKUK Media today with the latest music topped over 2,000 music videos through the Selection DVDs service. RKUK Media started Selection DVDs in May 2005 and has continued to provide the latest in music videos and now online.

RKUK Media is set to completely revamp the RKUK Media website from November after the Music Month period where all music videos on RKUK Media enter the Artist Profile stage, essentially meaning each music video has its own page allowing users to comment, rate, share and more, how bout that! RKUK Media’s CEO said in a statement “I’m very happy with the progress of adding our amazing music collection to Artist Profile, and am happy to say at this rate we’ll definitely have all Selection DVDs on Artist Profile by the end of October, even the upcoming one!”.

RKUK Media are currently updating all Selection DVDs on RKUK Media by adding them to the ‘Videos’ section of RKUK Media. The biggest advantage of doing this is that every single song can be found using a simple to use search box.

RKUK Media have an incredible collection of musical services online, including audio services such as MP3ME as well as probably the biggest service on the entire website, Selection DVDs. All these services are possible thanks to agreements with the record companies and the artists themselves.

Requested Changes
A few record companies have requested a few changes to our current music system. We respect their decision and we will make the additionally changes they have requested. The changes requested will effect MP3ME and Selection DVDs services only on RKUK Media. No other services will be effected by this.

Selection DVDs
Currently RKUK host Selection DVDs in packages, as they were on DVDs until 2007. You can basically click Selection DVDs in the menu, look through them and play multiple tracks on them and download them in you choose.
We have been request to remove download functionality from all Selection DVDs and that is taking place right now. However their is an upside on this, in which we will be introducing a service we weren’t going to be introducing for a while in which is Artist Profile. RKUK Media are going to remove all Selection DVD pages and replace them with Profiles for each one, you may have seen a few already made (we’re doing it from 1 – now). The replacement?
Well, the replacement is great. Basically all music videos will be added to our “videos” section on RKUK Media separately meaning you can watch, comment, rate and even embed videos on your own site. However unlike our previous plans, downloading obviously won’t be available.
MP3ME
Unfortunately MP3ME doesn’t have the same happy ending. MP3ME, the service that allows you to have a listen to albums through RKUK Media for free will be completely removed from RKUK Media with the exception of Protocol, who are unsigned. The profiles created for the artists will remain but just for news (RSS feed based).
