Who We Are

To best describe who we are it’s more important to begin by pointing out what we are not.

Yep, you got it… We are NOT corporate media.

There are no suits. No executives. No regional guys. No program director. No profits or advertisers. Why? Because corporate radio is in the business of making money off music. We do not which means this is solely about promotion of the music itself. 

With most forms of corporate media the object is to attract an audience then sell those people to the advertisers. This means the focus is not on the music itself but the product – YOU. 

No joke. The advertisers tell the radio station to attract this type of person. That’s what they are paid to do. You don’t like being sold do you?

Megarock Radio is not a corporate owned radio station. We are independently owned and operated. We do not generate any profit and do not sell our listeners to people. 

There is no big office, no support staff, no sales staff, no program directors or anything else like that. Our shows originate from locations around the world and our ‘transmitter’ are multiple high-capacity servers located in datacenters around the world. Our ‘studio’ might be located in a spare room of the house and in one case right in a kitchen or remotely anywhere in the world. 

Even our audio quality far surpasses most online radio streams intended for mass distribution but in a compressed audio format to keep costs low to generate big profits. Our audio quality matches that of the typical CD player and is in pure, crystal clean HD audio no matter where you listen.

We also are not limited to the range of the transmitting part of a radio stations range but are available anywhere in the entire world where you can sustain a 320k download which is just about anywhere.

In short this is a radio station operated by a handful of people but programmed by an audience located around the world. Our format is simply ‘rock’ because we cover a wide range of rock music spanning over 60 years and have a library of music available for request counting over 40,000 tracks. Your local radio station might work with about 700 in a given week. 

The inspiration? St. Louis radio stations KSHE and KWK back in the 70’s and early 80’s and then what we believe the station would sound like today if it remained in local hands and not two different major corporations over the years. And of course, years and years of being a rock music fan. And honestly this is what they SHOULD sound like today. 

So without having a defined ‘format’ like hard rock we simply say this – it’s all rock and roll to me. Everything from Hendrix and Chuck Berry to Metallica and Anthrax and everything in between. From deep cut classics to brand new tracks from worthy rock bands. Live tracks and full concerts. An insane 40,000+ tracks to request from. And from time to time a well known rock star or two might grace the airwaves on one of a handful of specialty shows.

You won’t find anything else on the planet quite like this.
