The show, which is syndicated across many Internet radio stations, is presented by the well known internet radio duo [http://www.lexanddavey.com Lex&Davey] . The chart is completely user generated, and aims to level the playing field between commercial and unsigned artists, by allowing unsigned bands to upload their tracks and put them to a public vote.

Net 40 and KCR Live

KCR Live, which is operated by KCR 106.7, is the home of The Net 40, which launched on the 1st June 2008.

The Net 40 team approached station management at KCR 106.7 to ask about studio time. A deal was quickly made, and KCR Live became home of the Net 40, although the Net 40 still remains the property of The Carter Group.

Unsigned Artists

Unsigned artists are wholly encouraged to upload their own material to the Net 40, to compete directly for the vote of the users against commercial tracks. The prime focus of this, is to promote the talent of unsigned bands, helping them to be discovered. Many unsigned artists sell their music and music-related merchandise without the financial support of a record label, while often seeking a recording contract through the recording of demos.
