Maine Internet Radio is a company based on a simple concept: deliver great local radio programming using state of the art technology. Here’s what we believe:
Radio is meant to be programmed locally with the community, listeners and advertisers in mind. There are some exceptions, a locally owned station in your market. You will notice, however, the formats are pretty safe and broad. They have to b
e, in order to command a big audience and the advertisers have to pay a lot of money to keep their message on the air. Otherwise, the rest of the market is saturated by corporate radio, with music playlists that are the same in every radio market coast to coast. We also believe you should not have to pay for radio. So Maine Internet radio streams will always be free. No satellite subscription service or restrictions on how to use us. And we don’t think bombarding you with commercials is a good idea. Listeners tune out and advertisers don’t benefit. You’ll never hear more than 2 commercial breaks per hour on our stations. We are committed to having local people on our streams, providing Mainers with local talk, information, entertainment and music. The basic elements that once made radio cool. We also know you want the process to be interactive, like the old days when you called a station to request songs or ask a question. Through our blogs and social media, you can always reach out to us and you can count on us replying. Owner Kim Mitchell has almost five decades of media experience in local TV and radio. While he always dreamed of owning radio stations, he realized that today things have changed. The world is now more connected than ever. We are not bound by a radio signal that travels 50 or so miles. The internet is now providing information and entertainment 24/7 and can be received anywhere. Furthermore people are seeking out exactly what they want. Internet radio provides music and programming that commercial radio deems not viable by our broadcasting collegues. Our Live 365 app is available for all devices, so you can listen to us anywhere you have a signal in the U.S. Canada and England. Our streaming rights only allow those countries for now.
