Staff Update

Friday, May 9th, the life of our beloved Network Manager and Radio Host, Lady Skye aka Darlene came to an end. She was 37 years old.

Lady Skye came aboard the Tunes Radio Network in the fall of 2007 and quickly became the most popular host with her captivating voice, as a psychic advisor.

She had survived lung cancer a year earlier, however it returned. Skye remained independent, smart, strong, brave and loving to all the people in her life.

She leaves behind her team here at the Tunes Radio Network, fans, friends, family, and four beautiful children.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her loved ones. She will be dearly missed by all of us.

The Tunes Radio Network History

Spring of 2008, extensive marketing efforts were put into the Tunes Radio Network.

A forum was added for the members of the Tunes Radio Network to have a place to network and exchange information. http://forum.tunesradio.net

A news section was incorporated as well to feature this blog. http://news.tunesradio.net

New radio commercials were added to our promotional feed. http://listen.to/TRN

An addendum was made to our disclosure: ( http://www.tunesradio.net/be.html )

"User agrees to participate with the Tunes Radio Network and will allow other broadcasters and other members of the network to contact them from time to time to share resources."

January 2008, AUSTnet IRC Network, partnered with the Tunes Radio Network to give their Australian users the opportunity to increase their audio broadcasts for their gamers and chatters. http://blog.austnet.org/

Winter of 2007, WhatNET IRC Network partnered with the Tunes Radio Network to become the official home radio network for WhatNET. http://www.whatnet.org/

Fall of 2007, Tunes Radio outgrew it's dedicated feel altogether and underwent a metamorphosis. The Tunes Radio Network was born. Broadcasters would now no longer be required to use a remote server to broadcast. Extra effort to walk broadcasters through the Shoutcast setup became the trend. Other broadcasters wanted "in" on the network and the exposure rates climbed!

The start of a promotional feed began that featured unsigned artists and samplers of professional sounding radio bumpers.

Late-Summer of 2007, the Teens are Talking project was born. With their motto, "It's their turn to be heard." Teens from all over the world eagerly put on their microphones and began to talk about their school day, what they were learning, the global news that affected them and general teen concerns.

Summer of 2007, Tunes Radio began to outgrow its dedicated feed and the requirement for more bandwidth and web space became inevitable.

Spring of 2007, Tunes Radio received sponsorship of a dedicated feed with more bandwidth and gained more broadcasters. The staff began to grow and the popularity of the project became the talk on many IRC networks.

Tunes Radio was formed in February 2007 by Quantum Inspirations. It consisted of a single feed that featured ambient music and talk radio.
