Krypton Radio Moves to AirTime
  • After running a competing server side software for over four years, Krypton Radio has made the transition to SourceFabric's AirTime.


    Can you hear it? Fandom is singing. And it’s singing through Krypton Radio.

    Krypton Radio was founded in 2009 by movie industry
    veterans Gene Turnbow & Susan Fox along with a small group of
    friends who wanted a sci-fi radio station but couldn’t find one – so
    they made it themselves. Since then the internet-only station has grown
    from a small fan project into a full service radio station and fannish
    news site, and has marched to (and played) a different beat, one defined
    by the fans themselves - and has recently made the change to AirTime.


    “Airtime gives us unparalleled control over what plays when, and has playlist macros we can use to build up our programming block by block. We focus on science fiction, fantasy, steampunk and gaming music, and AirTime gives us the flexibility and reliability we need to build our business on. The station has a distinctive, unique voice now –
    and we use that to help bring worthwhile creative projects before the
    fans, and we help fans find the cool stuff they might not otherwise know
    about. We can connect with generations of people in ways others only
    dream of.”


    Along with the music, talk shows and radio dramas, they
    have a flagship show called The Event Horizon. They describe it as a
    sci-fi convention panel show, but without the convention. Their guests
    are writers, musicians, artists, costumers, filmmakers and other
    creatives from all over the sci-fi world, both pro and fan.  Over thirty-episodes later, its popularity has spawned an
    IndieGogo campaign intended to bring its production crew to various
    conventions across North America so shows can be recorded live with
    special on-the-spot interviews that would never be otherwise possible.


    The Event Horizon airs every Saturday night at 9PM Pacific,
    and has already featured a number of storied guests, such as actors Tim
    Russ (”Tuvok” from Star Trek:Voyager) & Bruce Boxleitner (”Capt.
    Sheridan” from Babylon 5, “Tron” from Tron, and science fiction novelist
    heavyweights David Gerrold & Jody Lynn Nye.


    You can listen to Krypton Radio on iTunes under Radio ->
    Eclectic, on TuneIn, on the Krypton Radio page on LoudCity.com or just
    straight from their their web site. They even have an Android app, and
    they’re the only sci-fi station in the world of any kind to have one.


    The station’s log line is “Sci-Fi for your Wi-Fi.”

    If you want to link to Krypton Radio on your web site, we have a handy link kit page you can use that gives you the HTML code you can embed right on your page.


    About Krypton Radio:


    Krypton Radio is possibly the world’s only radio station
    truly dedicated to not just one fandom or genre, but all of them. We
    currently cater to Superhero, Comic Book, Science Fiction, Steampunk,
    Fantasy, Horror, Filk, Comedy, Gaming, CosPlay, and so much more.


    We’re currently internet-only, but the reach that allows us is truly
    amazing. We help people all over the world listen to music and shows
    they may have never had the opportunity to hear before. That’s one
    mission we never want to falter on, helping spread the fandom word.


    At any given time, you can tune into our station and hear music from
    shows and films such as Star Trek, Lord Of the Rings, Superman, Babylon
    5, Harry Potter,
    and even select hits from My Little Pony.


    We’re also very proud to offer classic radio serials such as “The
    Adventures of Superman
    ,” along with fully original radio productions as
    The Event Horizon,” along with the steampunk series  “The Adventures of Drake
    and McTrowell

    You might think that is the most bizarre collection of music and
    shows, and you’d be right. We don’t just feature music from TV and
    Movies, we play some of the most incredible fandom made music you’ll
    ever hear, produced by fans for fans.


    Krypton Radio isn’t just a station where you hear music from a
