Very strange. Seems the whole site is down.

Here's a link to one of their competitors reporting it:

They shut down their website today as well.

As a Program Director and DJ for 25 years, it's kinda sad.
However, we used to love R&R for the gossip, ratings, and job openings,
all of which you can get online from many websites, now.

Once Billboard's owner (Nilesen) bought R&R, the writing was on the wall.

Here is todays website view. Another move to consilidate resourses.

Dear Radio & Records Reader:

Given the consolidation of the radio and music industries, Nielsen Business Media has determined that the best way to leverage its assets and resources in support of these industries is to consolidate its music brands.

Consequently, we have decided to consolidate R&R magazine and RadioandRecords.com into Billboard magazine and Billboard.biz and to expand their coverage of the radio industry. In particular, the R&R airplay charts, which are powered by Nielsen BDS and which have become a key tracker of industry performance, will now appear in the pages of Billboard magazine and on Billboard.biz.

If you are a subscriber to Radio & Records, the remaining value of your subscription will be automatically applied to a new subscription to Billboard magazine starting with the June 20 issue that mails on June 11. If you already receive Billboard, your subscription will be automatically extended by the remaining value of your R&R subscription.

Please feel free to contact our customer service department with any subscription-related questions: 800-658-8372 or nbb@omeda.com. For other questions, please contact lila.gerson@nielsen.com

We would like to thank you for supporting R&R, and we hope that you will continue to follow the brand through Billboard. You will be redirected to Billboard.biz shortly.

Sincerely,
Gerry Byrne
Senior Vice President
The Media & Entertainment Group
Nielsen Business Media

My friend TJ Lambert was not a big fan of R&R to begin with and had this to say about its demise: "R&R became as obsolete as the medium it was reporting on."

(sigh of dismay) I had some really good inbound links from that site.
