Altrok Thursday: Ferris O'Brien, Plus The FM Showcase

Ferris O'Brien will be plying his musical trade today at 11:30am Eastern on Altrok Radio, while preparing for his SpyRadio show at Oklahoma City's 100.5 The KATT.

...but what those listeners don't know (and what you now do) is that it's possible to maximize your Ferris pleasure by catching the Altrok Radio show as well.

Y'see, he does two hours for us, 'cause unlike commercial radio where you have to grasp and claw for a break in the usual format we're all about the new and unusual (and the classic and unusual, for that matter.)

So you've got a few things on your list now...

- Check out SpyRadio for yourself when it comes on tonight at 1AM Eastern US Time, at 100.5 The KATT in Oklahoma City, or worldwide at KATT's website.

- But before you do, hit Altrok Radio for two hours starting at 11:30am Eastern or 9:00pm Eastern. (And if you stick around, you can hear the latest Altrok Radio FM Showcase immediately afterward, with all the new and featured music from this week's Altrok Radio playlists.)

See? We take care of ya here at Altrok...

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.)
