DRN now signing new affiliates!

The Dance Radio Network is growing. With over 300 radio markets and 11,600 commercial radio stations in the United States, our goal is to eventually obtain an affiliate in each market.

DRN recently visited Arbitron in Columbia, Maryland. Arbitron is the company that provides ratings for United States radio stations. This is done by collecting listener data on radio audiences. Information is collected using surveys and the personal people meter. The Dance Radio Network wants listeners of dance music to be recognized in the data.

DRN also met with representatives of Ibiquity. iBiquity Digital Corporation is the pioneer of HD Radio, an in-band on-channel (IBOC) digital radio system for the United States and around the world. This new technology operates on both AM and FM bands which provides participating radio stations the ability to not only broadcast in analog, but high quality digital too. The FM radio stations can have up to three HD multicast channels. The Dance Radio Network wants to be heard on the HD2 or HD3 of affiliate radio stations across America. To hear HD radio, listeners must have a radio receiver designed with HD capabilities.

You can help by asking your local radio station to carry the Dance Radio Network as their primary format or on their HD2 or HD3 channels.
