What's
New?
The
Boomer Radio Desktop Icon Many of
our listeners have asked us to find a way to launch Boomer Radio
directly from their
Windows Desktop. In response, we have developed a custom version of
the Windows
Media
Player. If you are running
Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP and Microsoft Internet Explorer
(version
5 or
later), you will have access to the new Player. You will see
Artist, Title, Album, and
Year information for each song, and
all of our music channels can be selected directly
from
the
Player. Netscape and Mac OS users will still launch the standard Windows
Media Player.
Audio
By Orban Optimod
Boomer
Radio has optimized the audio on our "Classic Mix", "The
Acoustic Cafe", and "Sweet Soul Music" channels,
using the latest technology from Orban. This will provide
an incomprable listening experience for both dial-up and broadband
users.
Additional Program Channels
We are currently
in the process of obtaining our first round of outside funding.
When this
is completed, we will be debuting many new channels of programming.
Our plans are to offer more
than
20 channels of music and information.
You can expect the new programming to occur
in two phases.
Here is what we have planned:
Phase
One
"Cruisin'
Oldies" - Pre-Beatles Oldies featuring Elvis, Chuck Berry, The
Drifters, Jan & Dean and more.
"All-Hit
Oldies" - From the Glory Days of Top 40 Radio - The Beatles, The
Four Tops, Tommy James & The Shondells and others
"Back
to the 70s" What a great decade of music! We'll feature a broad mix
of Pop, Rock and Disco.
"Adult
80s" - This is not your typical 80s music channel. We'll be spotlighting
the best Adult
Artists including Fleetwood Mac, Gloria Estefan, Steve
Winwood and Cyndi Lauper.
"Soft
Oldies" - Many of the best Oldies never get played on the radio, because
they're a bit
on the mellow side. This channel showcases performers
like Roberta Flack, The Carpenters,
The Fifth Dimension, Kenny Rogers
and
others.
"Vintage
Rock" - This is definitely the soundtrack of the Woodstock Generation.
We take you back to
a time when FM radio played Jimi Hendrix, Iron
Butterfly, The Chambers Brothers and The Jefferson Airplane.
"The
Lush Life" - Some music is timeless. This channel features "Pop
Standards"
performed by
Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall and
others.
Phase
Two (subject
to change)
"Raised
On Country" - The best in Traditional Country Music
"Country Cookin'" - Today's Hottest Country Hits
"Pop Adult" - Adult-Contemporary Hits
"The Jazz Club" - Traditional Jazz from John Coltrane, Miles
Davis, Thelonius Monk and other great musicians
"Ain't Nothin' But The Blues" - A showcase of Traditional and
Contemporary Blues
"Fine Folk" - Contemporary Folk and Bluegrass
"Urban Adult-Contemporary" - Today's Smooth R&B
Enjoy
the music, and please tell your friends about us!
