The station is up and broadcasting. DJ Otto (Think Auto) is playing 24/7, but next week the real DJs start -- The AnJ Show returns!!!
Here is an article published locally telling all about it!
Construction Is Not Always Visible
Our Generation Radio To Debut
You won't hear saws cutting, trucks rumbling or jackhammers hammering, but major construction is going on in Tinley Park. If measured in key clicks and megabytes of code the undertaking is huge. Local Internet Radio Disk Jockeys, ArJohn and JimmyB (The AnJ Show) have gone from station to station looking for a home. Veteran personalities on the Internet (I [ArJohn] began in 1998, JimmyB was a frequent guest and popular addition to the show) radio scene. In the last year the two irreverent, wacky and outspoken distributors of music, comedy and comment just could not find a fit. Tied with the poor economic conditions, artistic freedom issues and just plain chemistry, they worked and left three stations. Along with them were a nucleus of on-air, production, web design and management people that were looking for more. While I (ArJohn) have little to do with the construction of the new station, JimmyB, Dick Wrigley and Jitar have been putting in plenty of hours, most likely sweat and perhaps even blood and tears.
What exactly are we building? Well Internet radio is certainly not new. As I mentioned earlier I have been doing this since 1998. What is new a different is our veering away from trying to be all things for everyone and align with the people we know best; the people who grew up with the radio we know, from the Top Forty DJ to the beginnings of chatter and downright irreverence of the morning and overnight shows of the past. Get ready world because Our Generation Radio (OGR) is coming. Tune in today by visiting us at www.ourgenerationradio.com.
When we say the 50's, 60's and 70's are ages not decades, we mean these are the ages of the Baby Boomers. While many Internet Radio stations today really give us little more than Ipods you can't carry, OGR has the sounds we grew up with and new music from the rock stars we know. There is a whole segment of the industry that knows the Boomers and even our own record label (More on that for you lucky listeners). So while you'll hear oldies – you will also be introduced to music that appeals to us who have grown through the ages and still like music. All this given to you by real live DJs not just music rolling by. Give us a visit and find out more!!!
Actual date we come on air is soon, very soon but not yet specific. Stop by www.ourgenerationradio.com and find out more!!
are happening. We are in talks with other DJ's in starting our own radio site. Stay tuned :)
