Many radio stations that stream online - including WXPN (which has four streams) and the sites of Greater Media (including WMGK, WMMR, WBEN and WJJZ) - will turn off their Webcasts on Tuesday to protest higher royalty rates expected to go into effect about July 15. WXPN, for example, says the new rates aimed at Internet stations could cost it more than $100,000 annually, several times more than it gets from supporters. WXPN also plans two minutes of on-air silence on 88.5 at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Briefly noted
Producers from ABC's Supernanny will interview parents for Season Four from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Penn's Landing's Great Plaza (121 N. Columbus Blvd.). Particularly in demand are families preparing for a big event (wedding, reunion); sports-obsessed parents; parents with mean girls or bullying boys. Other details at www.supernanny.com.The Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale, touring Turkey and Greece and due home Thursday, are featured right now on a Web site in Istanbul. Your Turkish is probably better than mine, but the story seems to refer to a meeting of the choir and a high official of Beyoglu province. It's linked at http://go.philly.com/choirinturkey.
Steve Madva, chairman of law firm Montgomery McCracken, turns up on HBO's Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel, in a feature on "active boomers" that's being shown through Tuesday. Madva, 59 next month, is profiled in connection with his latest surgery (for his torn ACL) - his eighth time under the knife in 10 years. He's had meniscus surgery, three rotator shoulder tears, an ankle tendon repair, one herniated disk, and a sports hernia. His legal specialty, by the way, is not personal injury.
