CYGNUS RADIO CELEBRATES ITS 4th ANNIVERSARY ON THE AIR
Independent Internet radio station continues playing the best music you've never heard
Berlin, MD -- Cygnus Radio, an Internet radio station based in Berline, MD and St. Louis, MO, celebrated its 4th anniversary on the air on February 2, 2009. Cygnus signed on with its first live programming in 2005.
Founded by Toni Anne Reagan (aka DJ SwanSpirit, or usually simply Swannie), Cygnus Radio has seen many changes over the past four years as people have come and gone -- both DJs and managers -- but through it all, Cygnus has preserved its reputation as a source for independent music that avoids the easy way out and provides listeners with quality tunes in a warm and welcoming setting. From the beginning, Swannie placed an emphasis on live programming, and set out to assemble a team of DJs who shared her vision of what Internet radio could be.
"I'm surprised at our success, and yet not surprised," says Swannie. "Our success has always been based on good people sharing their musical passion. I'm happy that we've come such a long way. I am also thrilled that we are now on iTunes"
Now co-managed by Swannie and David Vesel, Cygnus continues its mission to bring unheard music to adventurous ears. Most of Cygnus's musical offerings cater to rock and blues palates, but a variety of other sounds can be heard. The anniversary also coincides with Cygnus's longest running program, David's cult hit program <i>Spellbound, a brief program of music for theremin</i>, which celebrated its 4th year on the air on February 18.
Both Swannie and David are no strangers to Internet radio. Swannie had previously hosted programs at Ampcast, Song Planet, and Indie Radio Live, before founding Cygnus. David, a former college radio DJ in the late 1980s, previously hosted shows at Ampcast and IRL before being invited by Swannie to manage Cygnus's web presence. He became Technical Manager of the station in January of 2007.
Cygnus Radio claims no home town, base, or headquarters, as its collective experience is created by many people spread over North America and Europe. Its web site is located at [www.cygnusradio.com].
