Gods of Rock Radio Ed Glass, The guy that owns this "Internet Radio Station" is falsifying listener and traffic data to extract money from unsuspecting investors and advertisers. Des Plaines, Illinois
This guy is ripping off investors and advertisers, telling them his website gets 250,000 visitors per day and his Internet Radio Station gets 180,000 listeners per day.
The fact is, the "Radio" station is operated out of a house in the guys bedroom.
He get almost no traffic to his website, as his website has only a few backlinks and no traffic shows up in Alexa. Any site getting even a tenth of the traffic of what he claims would have an extensive profile in Alexa. He defends this by saying you have to "subscribe" to Alexa, which is completely false. There is also no traffic reported on compete.com either.
Also, he claims his station is #4 on live365.com. This is also a blatant lie. His station has 630 hours of listening time for a 30 day peroid. The number 4 station in his genre has over 75,000 hours in the same peroid. He claims this is because live365 does not count iphone traffic. Well fine, but why does the other sites have so much more listening hours if its calculated the same.
DO NOT give this guy any money. He is a con man. He is also very rude to everyone he speaks to.
He also uses the name "Thor", which is trademark infringement.

I had the "opportunity" to be an on air talent at this station...along with a few other well-respected jocks in Chicago.
Needless to say, he claimed there was a reality show in the works for the station, even going further saying HBO was going to film it. I had a friend of mine, who is a producer for the network look around to find out it was true. He got back to me and said no one has ever heard the idea pitched.
This "Thor" actually has no idea how to run a radio station. He fires employees left to right for no reason. He claims one was a super drug addict and he is anti-drug. But tell me Ed Glass, why do YOU have several DUIs listed and other accounts of drug use on your background check. If this guy is as big into radio as he says he is, try googling him. NOTHING ABOUT BEING A RADIO PERSONAL POPS UP. But yeah, this guy is renting a house, NOTHING in it except a bed, and the station is ran in the basement. Why the basement? Maybe b/c it's a drug ring and therefore hes using these young kids to sell the idea of radio to keep money flowing. It's in the basement so the jocks cant see whats going on upstairs.
Oh yeah, this whole 478XXXXXXXXXX people listening? False. Theres a counter on top of the broadcast system they use (if you even want to call it a system). 99% of the time, the number is at zero. Unless the friends of the jocks are supporting the station, so the number goes from 0 to maybe 10. So how do you sell radio with no one listening? You can't.
Investors, please turn your head away from this physco. He is unprofessional. He could say that by me running my mouth and talking bad about the station is unprofessional, but I'm just doing people a favor.

I have never worked for this station. I am not in radio, I am an investor. If this guy has fired an employee lately, its just a coincidence.
By the way, if I am lying, then why did I find the excerpt below:
=====
Internet Radio Station
$90,000 needed for a 49% equity interest.
Now on the air! Listen at www.godsofrockradio.com. Significant advertising sales already committed. National known talent signed to perform. Programming distribution arrangement already secured
=====
You can find this at http://www.radio4sale.com/forsale.php
And I doubt this guy can afford a lawyer. He doesnt work. I think his advertisers should be aware of his deceit.
I have also contacted the BBB and Marvel Comics about his Trademark Infringement.

the person who wrote this article is a disgruntled former employee who is trying to besmirch our reputation.
the only true thing in the article posted was we work out of a house.in a basement,not a bedroom.we are moving to offices in the next few weeks.
next we have never claimed numbers this person states.
again a disgruntled former employee who was fired farily recently is doing this,and has also tried to disrupt interviews,and other things.
so this person is a liar.said person was also trying to get porn companies,and other unwanted advertisers to advertise on his show.he also tried to do a news/talk show on a radio station that is music intensive.
he was fired because he couldn't do a music show to the specified guidelines i set up.since then stuff like this has been happening.
this article should be removed at once,and my lawyer has been contacted so we can proceed to sue this person for false representation,ruining my reputation,and several other offenses.
my buisness is nothing,but legitimate,and we are not looking at ripping off anyone.
so in closing nothing should be believed this person says,and said persion will be hearing from my lawyer soon.
