ImaginAsian Radio

ImaginAsian Radio would like to start off by wishing all the DJs, musicians and audience members out there a VERY Happy New Year and thank you guys for all the support you have shown. This year was a very eventful year for iaRadio; our 24/7 streaming started, not to mention the very eventful Stream Out Loud launch party in NYC, shout out to Miss Info and all the performers made it an unforgettable night. The year was filled with ImaginAsian Radio sponsored events and concerts, interesting personalities that dropped in for interviews, not to mention the beginning of the distribution of ImaginAsian Radio Newsletter.

For those faithful listeners, you may have noticed that the stream has been down. Do not fret, we are working on a bigger and better ImaginAsian Radio for 2007. The stream will be back up and running in a week’s time. In the meantime, please check out the ImaginAsian Radio’s site, www.imaginasianradio.com, or you can add us to your friends list on MySpace, www.myspace.com/imaginasianradio.
