When did radioio begin broadcasting? We’ve actually been around the Internet radio block a bit longer than most, as we started in the rough and ... See more tumble frontier of Internet radio in the late ‘90s, based in the spare bedroom of our founder, Mike Roe. Mike didn’t know anything about radio or webcasting, but he loved to play and share music, so he started his own single music stream, called radioio (that has now evolved into our Eclectic music stream, which he still programs). As his vision and radioio grew, Mike sought other music lovers who shared his philosophy of intelligent music programming that never underestimates the listener. What sets radioio apart? radioio is made for individuals, by individuals. Each radioio music stream (or “channelâ€) is an independent, original creation that you won’t find anywhere else, featuring hand-picked music sets crafted by our stream hosts - not computers. Get to know the real people behind our music streams, who are basically other music enthusiasts like you (but with much larger music collections). They know that you want just the right music whenever you feel like it, wherever you are, and are always ready to respond to your comments, questions or requests.
