In 2014, Mad Music Radio embarked on its journey by launching its first internet radio station, "The Mad Music Asylum." The station's inception was driven by a deep sense of disappointment with the state of local commercial radio. Mainstream pop stations had fallen into the monotonous trap of repeatedly playing the same tired hits, and even the so-called "classic rock" stations offered little respite. Endless repetitions of songs were punctuated by constant advertising for companies like Geico and Home Depot.
Digging into the workings of commercial radio, it became evident that most stations, even the reputable ones, possessed only a meager library of a few hundred songs. In stark contrast, The Mad Music Asylum prides itself on an active playlist boasting over 5,800 diverse tunes, continuously expanding with regular additions. Other specialized stations under the Mad Music Radio umbrella have impressive collections too: The Grateful Dead station features over 1,000 unique tracks, Jazz Radio showcases over 4,100 songs, the Blues station embraces over 3,700 songs, and the Oldies station has a robust collection of over 2,500 songs.
The commitment to offering an unparalleled music experience drives the team behind Mad Music Radio to invest considerable time and effort in curating their extensive collection. The passion for keeping good music accessible on the internet motivates their labor of love.
