iRADIOUSA LAUCHES THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS MUSIC MARATHON
Internet Radio is Alive and Doing Well on Long Island!

Way back in 2005 iRADIOUSA began broadcasting from a home studio in Hauppauge, New York. Streaming live was not what it is today! iRADIOUSA had listeners from across the United States and throughout the world. It was sometimes a struggle to be heard. The station was started with a format of promoting unsigned artists and bands both locally and worldwide. Local bands at local venues were very much aware of the station thanks to the efforts of Ed Shin of Shinbone Photography. Shows like Linda and the DJ, Zacks Attic, Terror Time and The Jim Chinnici Show took hold and brought great Internet Radio Entertainment to many. DJ's like Vinny "Metalman" Cashin and Paul Terror promoted local and nationwide talent through their shows. Guests such as Randy Jackson of Zebra and Mike Delguidice of Big Shot and Billy Joel came to the studio and performed, as well as many othe local artists and bands.
Fast forward to 2020 and iRADIOUSA is still rocking the Internet Radio airwaves. The station's format has now evolved to classic rock and pop from the 60's, 70' and 80's, along with some amazing DJ personalities. Paul Terror and Dave Black heat up the airwaves every Tuesday night from 8pm-10pm with their Double Trouble Radio Show. Phil and Joyce Isaacson bring Bagels and Donuts, Girls Night Out and Outside the Box on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7pm-8pm. iRADIOUSA is bringing Radio Back to the Future. The goal is to offer the listener something different from terrestrial radio and playlists. It's all about the personality of the DJ's. Remember a time when you used to listen to hear the DJ and not just the music?
iRADIOUSA currently focuses on the Long Island, New York area with i495 Radio with the hopes of expanding with other stations throughout the USA. Management is currently in talks with other broadcasters to see if their personality fits the iRADIOUSA mold.
