I contacted Rounder Records, voicing a concern/complaint about the lack of advance notice when it comes to Alison and media appearances. This is their response:
Your email was forwarded to me at DS Management, management for Alison Krauss and Union Station. We hate to hear that you and any other fan is missing out on the various television appearances of AKUS. Unfortunately, with the way today's television is programmed we do not always till the day before and sometimes even the day of when taped performances are going to air. The Sesame Street episode that AKUS taped is not scheduled to air until late winter/early spring of 2005. AKUS taped an interview and performance for CNN, and we will not know when that is going to air until the day before due to "breaking news" schedule. So, you can imagine how quickly we must act to get the news up on the AlisonKrauss.com web site, and hope that people see the news.
I do apologize that you are missing out on some television airings and hope that you will continue to bear with us.
Thanks for the email and for supporting the music of Alison Krauss and Union Station.
Just thought I’d share it with everyone.

Lew,
I don't think that Rounder's response holds water. Someone on this board finds out about appearances through general media or other websites and its gets posted here before anywhere else. Someone in the AKUS media group has got to know before someone somehow finds about about an appearance and posts it to this board. Actually, I think that it is Shore File Media's reponsibility to get out all the publicity and they do a terrible job. Rounder should want to do it because the better the publicity, the more records they sell, but Shore Fire is being paid to represent AKUS and make sure that the public finds out what is happening with the group and they do a terrible job of getting us timely information. They update the "official" AKUS site that gives us the information often after the fact.
