The AccuRadio story
AccuRadio is a multichannel Internet radio station specifically designed to showcase the potential of the exciting new medium of Internet radio!
AccuRadio is also the first multichannel Internet radio station desgined
specifically for adults with sophisticated musical tastes.
We currently reach over 1,000,000 unique listeners per month (as many as a large New York City radio station),  with an audience of as many 20,000 simultaneous
listeners on weekdays during
business hours (Internet radio's "prime time").
Based on Arbitron data
and other sources, we believe we are one
of the five largest multichannel webcasters in the world.
AccuRadio's audience is approximately 60/40 male/female and
almost equally divided between the 25-34, 35-44, and 45-54 age groups,
with an average age of 41.* (More details available here.)
AccuRadio supports musicians and labels
AccuRadio has been carefully constructed to help
record companies and recording
artists sell records:
(1) We give exposure
and airplay to numerous genres of music and hundreds
of artists that virtually never receive broadcast radio airplay.
(2) We constantly display the title
and artist and album name for the song that's playing.
(3) We display the CD covers
of the last three songs we've played, with each cover linking to
the appropriate Amazon page
for purchasing that CD.
(4) We sell almost $40,000 worth
of CDs per month via our Amazon links, and, according to our listener
surveys, directly influence the sales of $200,000 to $400,000 more
from other retailers.*
(5) We stream at only 32
kbps, which makes for a good-sounding Internet radio station but is not a quality level that most consumers
feel is a substitute for CD ownership.
(6) We are always
happy to work with record labels to help promote new releases (as we
have done with Sony Music, WB Records, Angel/EMI, and Bloodshoot
Records), including promoting those releases to our 900,000-person
mailing list. ("Promo ideas" page here.)
We are fully licensed by ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and SoundExchange/RIAA.
