Be Cool! CBC Electronic radio

Comments from the FB group


"Do you have a streaming radio station yet?"


"CBC Electronic
Sorta. For now, the stream lives on CBC Radio 3, is hostless, and features tracks only. We'll be tackling this in the coming weeks and months. First we'll work on focusing on what tracks we're programming and the rotation, then hopefully we'll work in some mixes, and with luck we'll start throwing some living people on the air.

Here's the M3U, which you can pop into the player of your choice:

"Declaring Our Intentions
by CBC Electronic on Friday, April 22, 2011 at 8:49pm

First, let's just say that nothing is written in stone, so at this point we're just blue skying what CBC E can become. The project was conceived and created by a small team of CBC producers who's primary duties lay elsewhere within the corporation. A few of us work at CBC Radio 3 in Vancouver, and some others are scattered throughout the CBC across the country. Resources at this time are scant, so for the next little while we'll be baby-stepping towards our goals.



For the time being, the CBC E community will mostly live on Facebook, Twitter (https://twitter.com/cbcelectronic), and possibly other social media sites such as YouTube, Soundcloud, and Flickr.



The immediate plan is:



:: Post at least one track per day, (the "Nocturnal Transmission").



:: Post links as we find them to tracks, videos, news festivals and other bits of content we like.



:: Work to improve the quality, breadth and rotation on the Electronic radio stream. (http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-w7vcr-128.m3u)



:: Encourage artists to sign up as members to the CBC Radio 3 website and upload their tracks and mixes. This serves a number of purposes, namely to allow us to program their music on the CBC Electronic radio stream and feature it in podcasts and whatnot.



The dream:



:: To build a passionate national community around Canadian and select international electronic music.



:: To offer a series of regular electronic podcasts, both track samplings as well as mixes.



:: To create an independent editorial strategy that allows us to post interviews and features on artists, scenes, festivals and anything pertaining to this culture.



:: To build an sizable audience around the radio stream that will justify investment of more time and resources.

That's sick! I hope the name CBC E sticks around as well. It's uhhh, very fitting for the target market... =)

Their night time stream on CBC2 has some serious potential; I listen to it quite often.

Go CBC go!

Weird how? Experimental, new age etc being defined as electronic? I say they include it all, just have quality and spread it out so it's somehow equal.

I'm listening right now and it seems like a 70s psychedelic chill out tune.
