THE ALBUM NETWORK was a radio music tip sheet that specialized in Album Oriented Rock (AOR) formatted radio. It began in July of 1978 and published for over 20 years. Subscribers would also receive the Tune Up series of promotional CDs which typically included a mix of mainstream and "up-and-coming" artists from a specific genre (rock, Top 40, alternative, etc.) After 20 years in a printed format, THE NETWORK MAGAZINE (formerly THE ALBUM NETWORK) ceased publishing in March 2003 and continued as an online publication.
