Hello,
This is Allen Canfield (Runewolf) and Adam McQuain (Quagmire). Wild Mountain Radio was born out of a simple idea we had 6 years ago. Fed up with local FM radio that played the same music over and over and playlists that we could record and then play back song for song four days later, we vowed that we would find a way to start our own station.
Terrestrial broadcasting involved way too much money and paperwork with the FCC and we would have to make sure we played "edited" versions of songs. We began looking into internet broadcasting and loved the idea, just not the costs of bandwidth. Two college kids paying student loans just couldn't pay the costs and deal with licensing through all the various music groups.
Fortunately, a friend found a company called LoudCity that would handle our licensing and royalties and the costs of streamhosts have become reasonable. So we were out of excuses... At this point it had to happen! On April 28th, 2006 Wild Mountain Radio began with the simple purpose of playing music that we liked, uncensored the way the artists intended it to be heard.
We play just about anything with a preferance for unsigned music and bands that do not get much airplay. We wanted our listeners to comment daily that they listened to four songs that they have never heard before. Unfortunately, this approach means that were ruining it for some listeners by not playing the same crap they hear daily on their FM stations. Frankly, that is fine with us! If we went the cookie cutter path, we'd shut this down right now!
