Canadian Online Radio Reaches More As It Airs on FM Radio

This station in Canada is a true internet radio success story. Starting online in 2009, they are now broadcasting in FM Radio.

Bay of Islands Radio (BOIR) is a thriving internet station in Corner Brook. Aiming to help more, BOIR extends reach from digital to FM on November 5

“It’s a turning point for the station” – Kody Gardner, Technical Director. “I never thought this day would come”, says Gardner.

But internet already offers widest reach, why FM radio?

Because BOIR is a community station, thus the need to go more local.

In US recenntly, new FCC ends ruling of local studio requirements.

Internet radio proponents say, online stations are the new local radio.

Bay of Islands Radio is heard on FM 100.1 and online www.boir.ca

Pinoy Rock Radio Online Fills In Gap Left by NU107, LA 105

Pinoy Rock Radio Online is owned by Paulo Tamayo Legaspi. The station plays independent unsigned bands from the Philippines as well as mainstream music.

“I know it’s tough, but this is a commitment to music and showing everyone that we have a healthy music scene,” Legaspi said during an interview.

“The stations that picked up the baton for rock music — NU 107, XB, LA 105 – they are all gone. Meron pumalit, ‘yung 88.3, pero kulang. Marami pa rin banda na hindi napapakinggan. So I decided to create a music streaming station that consists of mainstream, underground, and extreme bands from not just Metro Manila but all over – Cagayan De Oro, Davao, Iloilo, Bacolod and more.”

The playlist is wide that includes ska, ethnic, blues, classic rock, rockabilly, new wave, punk and metal.

“My tastes were already wide. But doing this broadened my horizons,” he bared of his passion.

Paulo is actually from the IT industry. He started converting his vinyl and cassette collection into digital format, as well as his CD collections.

“Right now, I spend about P15,000 a month to maintain and run the station. Plus, I also spend on buying compact discs and records of new bands. I sometimes get freebies but I mostly buy a lot. Support na rin ‘yan sa kanila.”
Since Pinoy Rock Radio Online went live on January 1, 2013, the reception has been fantastic. With some 8,000 listeners from all over the country, it has provided a means for other bands to be heard.”

“You would think that with the internet, bands have a venue to be heard pero marami pa rin clutter.”

“This is an opportunity for them to be heard.”

Paulo reveals he is not profitting from his internet radio.

“I just do it for the love of music especially Original Pilipino Music.”
