LiveDaily was a music and entertainment site owned by Ticketmaster,[1] created in 1998 and seen in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom.[2] It provided news updates, tour announcements, and ticketing information relative to Ticketmaster.[1] Its news reports were used by media entities such as MTV News[3][4] and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.[5] It also provided artist interviews, record and show reviews, and a music fan Internet forum.[1][2] As of October 2008, livedaily.com claimed to have nearly one million visitors per month.[6]
It also included LiveDaily Sessions, a video showcase for touring acts that especially emphasizes upcoming artists.[6]
On May 18, 2010, LiveDaily closed their forums, a long-standing staple of the site for undisclosed business reasons.[7] On May 21, 2010, LiveDaily ceased publication, with a message on their website reading, "LiveDaily takes its final bow".[8]
On May 24, 2010, LiveDaily's editorial team announced the launch of SoundSpike.com, a publication promising to provide similar content to LiveDaily.[9] The forums from LiveDaily also re-opened at a new domain, AfterLD.com. The forum domain no longer works.
