pulverRadio – Coming back in 2004

pulverRadio was launched in 2000 and was one of my personal casualties when I closed it down during the Summer of 2002. Reading “fm: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio” by Richard Neer has given me the inspiration to once again launch a free-form progressive rock radio station that some of us who grew up listening to Rock Radio in the 70s would be proud of.

This kind of endeavor will be an upward struggle since the business model that we will be following is yet to be designed and the yearning to put the radio station back on the air comes from the heart and soul and not necessarily from the business mind. The station itself will become a mix of both technology content and rock’n’roll and there will evolve a natural universe for both the co-exist.

One can expect pulverRadio to cover VoIP and attend our VON Conferences, and will most likely provide live coverage from the exhibit floor and stream some of the keynote sessions live on the net. The same station when not covering the evolution of IP Communications will play various flavors of Rock’n’roll ranging from what was once considered “Progressive Rock” to the kind of music one would have expected to be coming from the speakers of a radio tuned into WNEW-FM if it was still operating as the FM rock radio station it was for over 30+ years.

I’m in the early stages of staffing this endeavor, and this time around I expect the station to evolve into a place that supports the progressive open minded thinkers that helped WLIR happen back in 1971 and helped evolve the rock’n’roll voice of a generation that grew up listening to and knowing what rock radio was all about.
