Online Radio Stations - College Stations

The term "college radio" describes more than just radio stations run by students on college campuses throughout the country. College radio describes a certain sound and feeling of independent spirit that infuses the music played on these stations throughout the country. It’s also incredibly influential: the hot new band you hear on the big alternative radio stations across the United States likely got their start on college radio. That’s how R.E.M. did it, along with some of the most relevant and important acts of the 1980s and 1990s through today like The Arcade Fire, The Decemberists and The Shins.

College radio stations were among the first to embrace Internet radio -- instead of being constricted to low-wattage signals that would barely carry across campus, Internet radio gave college radio stations a chance to be heard around the country and throughout the world by anyone with an Internet connection. OnlineRadioStations.com wants you to hear what’s happening on today’s college campuses.
