MileHiRadio.com is the newest Internet Radio station in Colorado (and likely in the U.S.), having started broadcasting in February of this year, and just recently completing its move to a beautiful 7th floor studio and office suite in the DTC at E. Arapahoe Road and Revere. The Internet radio business model is rapidly eclipsing "traditional broadcast" radio, and is the acknowledged wave of the future and growth model for radio as a communication medium in the 21st Century.
MileHiRadio is the brainchild of its founder/owner, Larry "Hoss Meister"
Andrews, a veteran of talk radio for over a decade on KNUS/AM, and the co-founder of another successful Internet radio station.
MileHiRadio.com is "version 2.0" for Hoss, and is designed from the ground up with a unique programming mix: eclectic music, 24x7, with a special emphasis on "indie" artists and groups, balanced with from two to four talk radio shows daily, with show hosts selected as "best of breed" content originators and on-air personalities. "Come for the talk, stay for the music... or come for the music and stay for the talk!"
Although MileHiRadio.com has been conceived as an Internet radio station (heard nationwide and worldwide without breaking a sweat!), we've already found that the radio aspect is only the first of several facets of this enterprise. Internet radio naturally embraces and complements other social media resources on the 'Net, and MileHiRadio has quickly found powerful allies and enormous opportunities to develop a synthesis of social media, networks, marketing and advertising that naturally align with the emerging trends, expectations and preferences of online audiences, from NetGeners to the Boomers. In other words, Internet radio turns out to be but a part of what we're finding ourselves doing, and we're rapidly finding ourselves to on the way to becoming a next-generation media/marketing company which just happens to do radio!
We're looking forward to sharing this all with you as it's developing in front of us!
