Matt Ryder is an American radio personality, best known for his weekend radio show on 92.3 NOW in New York City. Starting in radio at the age of 15, Ryder was first hired at WYZB FM in Fort Walton Beach, FL to do weekends/swing when the station was called "Country 105.5" in 2001. After six months working at WYZB, sister station WZNS FM, "Z96" picked up Ryder for additional weekend duties where he used the on air name "Kannon". After two years working with Cumulus Media in Fort Walton Beach, VP of Programming Jan Jeffries moved Ryder to do nights at sister station WJLQ FM (known at the time as Q-100) in Pensacola, Florida. During his time at WJLQ, Jefferies also had Ryder assist in signing on a new CHR station in Mobile, AL.
After nearly four years working with Cumulus Media, Ryder was offered his first major-market radio job doing weekends and swing at WBTS FM (95-5 The Beat) in Atlanta, Georgia in 2004. After only a few short months at WBTS, Ryder was offered a promotion to overnights at cross-town rival WSTR FM (Star 94) where he remained for over a year. In 2005, Ryder was offered his first full-time job as night show host and Music Director in Tulsa, Oklahoma at Top 40 KHTT FM (106.9 K-HITS). After one year in his position as Music Director and night show host, Ryder was promoted to Assistant Program Director and midday host on the station where he remained for another year.
In 2007, Ryder left KHTT and Oklahoma to head to Texas where he remained until 2009. During this time Ryder left his on air duties behind and got into radio sales with Clear Channel Radio where he excelled for over two years and developed a new passion for radio through sales and integrated marketing campaigns. Ryder's success in sales brought him to New York City where he started selling local advertising campaigns for CBS RADIO and their six New York radio stations (WCBS FM, WWFS FM, WXRK FM, WCBS AM, WFAN AM and WINS AM). Through his connections in the sales department, Ryder became friends with Rob Wagman and Dom Theodore who hired him and put him back on the air on Top 40 92.3 NOW where he remains today.
In 2010, Ryder was promoted to Director, Strategic Sales for the CBS Radio Altitude Group where he focuses on National advertising campaigns for Fortune 500 Companies.

SIBIS (Statistical Indicators Benchmarking the Information Society) was a project in the "Information Society Programme" of the European Commission (IST-2000-26276) which ran from January 2001 to September 2003, and the "first large-scale cross-national survey" to approach the subject of the Information Society.
With a budget of 3.27 million euros, its aim was to develop "innovative information society indicators to take account of the rapidly changing nature of modern societies and to enable the benchmarking of progress in EU Member States" in an Information Society.
It filled a gap in the existing official statistics which focused more on the "economic and social systems typical of a Europe emerging from World War II, when manufacturing dominated over services, tangible assets over intangibles and traditional over flexible employment models."
The indicators assessed included learning environments, use of mobile phones, and citizens' willingness to use online government services.
The indicators thus collected were then tested and piloted in surveys in the then-15 EU member states, 10 Acceding and Candidate countries, Switzerland and the USA.
The SIBIS project was wound up in September 2003 after publishing its findings in a series of reports, including Benchmarking security and trust in Europe and the US, published by RAND.<ref name=rand/>
