A brief history
On
March 2nd of 2000 we launched “The Uptown Downtown Show” hosted by 
“Holleywood”
& “Brewski” airing every Thursday 8pm to midnight on a local AM radio
station. The station allowed us to play and promote any music and guests we
desired and we were “no holds barred” as they say.
We then changed our schedule (per the stations request) and aired 2 nights a week (Tues & Thurs) from 8pm to10pm. Soon after that, we turned to a different broadcasting station (also AM because that is the only stations we can find in this town that would let us buy air-time for a show like this) in an attempt to strengthen our range in audience.
This
station had different standards however and they wanted our show to contain less
music and more talk because it was a talk radio station. We reluctantly decided
to re-format the show so we could still promote local entertainers on commer
cial
radio.
We changed the name to “Florid-Alive Entertainment News Radio” and it worked well with listeners...but we needed advertisers to keep it going. The station executives were very happy with our production and performance but we needed revenue to survive. We eventually turned to the internet.
We gained a huge amount of experience doing live commercial radio for 5 years but now we got our old show back. We are not worried about the bills and we can produce our show the way we want to. We want to provide you with unheard information, new talent and entertainment that some of the family can enjoy.
