Towpath Radio was founded in the summer of 2020. At that time it was a standalone internet oldies station that ran from a kitchen counter and an incredibly comfortable couch! Thanks to the some of the world’s best technology becoming affordable and accessible to independent broadcasters we’ve been able to grow to 3 internet stations plus a blog based news website. With the addition of River Rat Country, Sweet 419, and All News Northwest Ohio, we now do business as Towpath Media, LLC.
The operation is still rather simple. Our main broadcast studio is located in Grand Rapids, Ohio inside a small barn in the center of town near the historic town hall. Each DJ broadcasts from their personal studio and uses the power of the internet to connect to the main studio. The corporate companies have their big fancy studios and subpar content coming from their speakers. Our concern is the quality of content coming out of the speakers, we’ll leave the pony show to the corporate stations.
Towpath Media has deployed some of the best technology in the world to get our stations into the ears of as many listeners as possible. Listeners can hear each station on the Towpath Radio or Sweet 419 app. All stations are available on their given website, Alexa, Roku TV, and other radio directory apps (which allow for in car listening).
Advertising opportunities are now available for all three of the Towpath Media stations, including visual advertising on the Towpath Media websites.
