A digital innovation in radio has been launched: the world's first interactive radio station. Since it's also the world's first station playing 100% new music and the first whose presenters are new to radio, it's no wonder it's called amazing.Amazing Radio starts a 6 month pilot on Digital One's national DAB radio network. Instead of a restful dawn chorus, music fans can now awaken to the sound of brand new indie, urban, rock, jazz and pop music. It's an incredible diversity of songs, all written and recorded by undigned artists outside the conventional music industry.
The artists uploaded their music to ethical website amazingtunes.com over the past four years. amazingtunes.com gives artists a legal, global means to sell their music, receiving 70% of download revenues.
"There's fantastic music on amazingtunes.com," says If we can, you can and Entrepreneurs' Forum board member Paul Campbell, founder of the Amazing Group.

It's normally impossible for new artists to get onto big radio stations. So we made our own.
