RadioVeRVe is an internet radio station operating out of Bangalore, India. It differentiates itself from other FM and internet radio stations by focusing exclusively on independent music from India. It addresses the common problem that independent artistes face all over the world - mainstream radio doesn't play their music, so reach is limited. The RadioVeRVe team decided to pool their talents together and create a one-of-its-kind venture, India's first Internet radio station dedicated wholly to independent Indian music.〔(The Hindu : Metro Plus Bangalore / Music : Login to radio )〕 First launched on June 1, 2006, RadioVeRVe originally launched as a platform to showcase rock music performed by unpublished bands in India, and to feature music performed by these bands, as well as interviews and news about them. It has since widened its musical scope to rock, heavy metal, easy listening, regional language and Indian classical music. The station has received interest from both the press as well as the music industry in India, and caters to thousands of listeners across the world 24 hours a day. Artistes featured on the station credit it with being responsible for their reaching audiences that they had not hoped to reach earlier, and getting record label offers, shows and even international tours.〔http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=201516〕 ==Station Content== To be featured on RadioVeRVe, artistes or bands need to be independent (or indie) Indian bands or musicians creating original music and with no formal affiliation to record labels as yet. The artistes have to be located in India—to avoid commercial conflicts, the station does not currently play music performed by Indian artistes not located in India. Shows are RJ'd, with some hours reserved for the "Randomizer", where music is played at random from the huge database of songs available. As songs are played, information is displayed about the performer on the website, including links to their websites and other contact information, allowing listeners to take up contact with the artists for the purchase of their CDs, booking them for shows, recording contracts, etc. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RadioVeRVe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
