Adelaide Web Radio

Adelaide Web Radio is an internet station from Adelaide, South Australia, with a taste that runs wide: funk, soul, hip hop and jazz sit next to rock, pop and dance, which gives the stream the feel of a well-stocked record collection rather than a tight commercial format.

The station also opens its schedule to guest selectors - the Italian producer Federico Scavo, for instance, has held a monthly Friday night show - so the programming keeps changing hands and moods. There is no FM frequency behind it: Adelaide Web Radio lives entirely on its online stream, reaching listeners across Australia and anywhere else the web reaches, from breakfast in Adelaide to late night in Europe. The city is known as the festival capital of Australia - home of the Adelaide Fringe and WOMADelaide - and an eclectic music stream suits that temperament.
