Altrok Radio is an alternative rock web radio station, updated every day, that'll make you happy. Click here to start listening , or for more info, read on...Why Did We Create Altrok Radio?
We (that is, myself and all the folks who've contributed their time and talent to Altrok Radio) finally figured out what's wrong with today's Alternative Rock radio:
Everything.
So we thought up Altrok Radio. We thought it'd be better if our station played new music from any scene that matters, as well as classics from the bands that Alternative radio forgot.
We respect artists that don't compromise, and stick with artists that never did.
When we go out of our way to find new music that matters, we rely on twenty-five years of real Alternative radio experience (during which we helped build one of the best bona-fide Alternative stations in the country) to help you make sense of it.
And we play it for you, twenty-four hours a day, in playlists we update every day, on our web radio station. All because we think, among the music we know you'll like, you'll want to hear something new that you might like.
Plus we do a quick national headline update every half hour on weekday mornings - because we want you to be informed, too..
Betcha wanna start listening...

A Special Note: Altrok Radio is a fully licensed Internet radio station. This means we pay money to keep our station in full compliance with current royalty policies as required by ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and the SoundExchange license required by the CARP recommendations made necessary by the DMCA.
That's a lot of acronyms, but the upshot is that we pay a larger share of royalties on the music we play than any other outlet. We do it because we believe in the artists we play and feel they should be compensated fairly for their efforts.
We do not, however, think it's fair that we, at a far lower (and in fact relatively non-existent) level of income, pay more per song played than standard radio does - a state of affairs that fully highlights the fact that major labels and terrestrial broadcasters have colluded to try to make Internet radio disappear.
We are completely in support of any effort that attempts to fix this rather obviously discriminatory practice.
