Altrok Radio Music & Schedule Update #147

by Altrok Radio

Please remember to tune in whenever you can - every hour you listen turns into more visibility for the station; we show up higher in search listings, and such like that. And if you'd like to help us keep the stream running, check out the advertisers if they appeal to you; your interest actually helps fund us.

Altrok Radio Schedule
(All times Eastern US Standard Time)

Thursdays

11:30 am: Ferris O'Brien
Ferris O'Brien hops aboard the Altrok Radio signal to give you a taste of his approach to the world of alternativity. He's bringing you the overflow from his own SpyRadio showcase at Rock 100.5 The KATT in Oklahoma City, itself the lingering legacy of 105.3 The Spy, a legendary indie station in its own right that disappeared one night. No reason to quit just 'cause the station's gone, right?

1:30pm: The Altrok Radio FM Showcase
...where Sean Carolan (often referred to on this page as "I", "me" or "we" if he's feeling particularly organizational) showcases all the new music we've added this week. New stuff, classic stuff, and Jeff Raspe with his Altrok Radio Underground Pick Of The Week...

9:00pm: Ferris O'Brien
(Encore from earlier.)

11:00pm: The Altrok Radio FM Showcase
(Encore from earlier.)


Fridays

Most of the day: Altrok's Eighties Friday
Eighties Friday features music from the eighties that mattered then AND now. An eight hour playlist that features some of the best that decade had to offer, drawing from all the music that was available at the time (yes, even from the seventies.)

11:30am: DJ Shred
New York's own DJ Shred with her hand-picked set filled with classics from the darker and more challenging corners of the Eighties.

9:00pm: DJ Shred
(Encore from earlier.)

All Other Times
(...and all times on Altrok Radio SD, our low-bandwidth station)

Whenever you tune in, you'll hear our award-winning Altrok Radio playlist mix, featuring our new adds and Grinders, and a selection of new and classic music from our library of the best fringe alternative tracks of the past thirty-odd years.

And keep your eyes on this page for details on the impending rebroadcast of Saturday's spectacularly successful Melody Reunion...

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
