How Did We Get Started?

Well, you're probably not only wondering how, but when.  Well, we began construction on our station back in May of 2008, right after school got out towards the middle of the month.  We then had our first show, The Celrock Summer Kickoff, originally on Saturday, June 21, 2008, but it was rescheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 25, 2008, due to technical difficulties that occurred during the first show.  Then, our second show, well, let's just say that it was kind of a make up show.  Originally, DJ Celrock guest starred on Pulse Radio’s Fourth of July Show, which aired on 7/2, but again, technical difficulties

arose, causing nobody to get to hear her, or have an archive to remember the day.  Well, turns out that DJ Celrock had prepared a long playlist in the beginning, that was too large for her segment on Pulse Radio, so on 7/19, the make up show took place.  Then, because The Battle of the Decades on WTEK was the very first show that DJ Celrock heard that got her hooked to the station back in April of 2006, she decided to take her own spin on things, and on 8/2, she aired what is now known as The Delightful Decades, a show that contained music in chronological order from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.  It was a big hit with the listeners, and was by far the best show on the air this summer!  And finally, to wrap up the summer season, before having to go back to school and face the real world again, inspired by WTEK's End of the Summer Extravaganza, Celrock Radio aired The Final Sensation, which took place on Saturday, August 16, 2008.  It's popularity was unfortunately not as big as the show that once aired on WTEK, but there was by no doubt that one listener in particular really showed his support for this station on that particular show, and thanks to Celrock Radio, that particular person has come to love Internet radio, which was very boring to him at one time, before Celrock Radio ever came into existence.

Then, seeing that the station is now over 6 months old, we've accomplished so much in that time.  We've switched web hosting providers, had our very first Christmas show, Celrock's Christmas Cringle, which aired on 12/13/08, and now, we have a 24 hour server, so we can have shows done by pretty much anybody in the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!  And if nothing else, we hope by our one year anniversary on 6/21/09, we will have accomplished so much more!  So much in fact, that perhaps some listeners out there will consider Celrock Radio to be the best on the net!
