Global Radio 1 was one of the early internet radio broadcast pioneers.  A maverick as the press called us back then.  Often charged with undermining traditional radio, it was one of the first stations to leverage the potential of commercial data centres,  even creating file compression software  to get around issues buffering huge data files online. Today's Cloud based Stations owe much to Hannah and colleagues for battling through the technology barriers and aggressively marketing alternative radio platforms.   At the networts height of popularity, it was heard in 53 countries including China, and employed 150 staff.  A chinese media group bought the network but Richard Hannah ( despite Global Radio) hung on to the Global Radio1.com online domains with a view to starting up a smaller concern later.

Seven years later we are back.  Shoutcast, Icecast, RadioJar, Radio.co and others have made managing stations a breeze, Specialist data centres do all the work for stations, who now just need broadcast talent and appropriate licences.  Global Radio1's passion has always been toproduce quality audio entertainment and this iteration of Global Radio1 will be no different.
