Using the radiative return allows for precision measurements of energy-dependent cross sections at particle factories. In the first part, the method of the measurement and its application at the KLOE experiment will be explained. In the second part, the status of the ongoing analyses based on the 2002 data set is presented. These analyses will improve the published result in many aspects and allow for important cross checks.
