East Village Radio, Longtime Home of Mark Ronson’s Show, Plans Return Next Month
East Village Radio, the influential streetfront online station where Mark Ronson hosted an influential show, is planning to relaunch next month.
The station, formerly located in a t iny studio behind a glass window at the front of a restaurant on First Avenue in New York’s East Village, opened directly onto the sidewalk, offering an almost surreal intimacy between passersby and the DJs. In an announcement reflecting its longstanding and rather idealistic policies against corporate radio, the station stated: “EVR remains committed to its original cause: a grassroots source of independent minded DJs and programmers that serves its community. Just as the NYC’s East Village itself has been a crossroads of a myriad of fused cultures, revolutionary ideologies in art, music, film, poetry and more, EVR looks to focus itself on this legacy with a freeform approach to radio that will blur boundaries and take cues from the great FM stations of the past and amplify the mission of the few truly independent minded stations that exist in the present.”
