An Update Before April Fools'...

by Altrok Radio

Here's a few clues for your reading enjoyment regarding the care and upkeep of Altrok Radio...

  • Yes, it appears as though the looming timesink I was worried about, that threatens to pull away a lot of the time I generally spend making Altrok Radio a reality, will actually happen. It could also evaporate just as quickly, but I'll continue to do everything I can to keep Altrok Radio pumping through your computer speakers as much as I can.
  • A note on numbers: Altrok's G-Aid, our mainstream alternative rock station, has been growing fairly steadily. It's 30-day listenership is now in the 1300-hour area; remember, it needs to stay above 3000 hours to become a regularly-updated reality.
  • On a bit of a tangent here: dear reader, do you like cocktails, conceptually speaking? I've been obsessing over making esoteric drinks from previous centuries, and wonder if it's the sort of thing that might pique your interest...

So that's what's been happening - there's new music in the Altrok Radio mix this week, by the way, so do tune in, 'cause there'll at least be that in it for you.

Hello Sean. Hope you can keep Altrok going. Re: your tangent...My favorite cocktails are from the early 1920's, and always use the highest quality spirits, whiskey, gin, etc. Also interested in old English concoctions, like Smoking Bishop (as referenced in A Christmas Carol). Please share some of your findings with your readers. Good luck! :-)

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.)
