Rotation

When i99Radio embarked on its journey, the term “alternative” wasn’t initially part of the equation. The station kicked off by showcasing a diverse array of music genres, ensuring a 24×7 commercial-free experience.

Driven by the ethos of “The Interactive Radio,” i99Radio welcomed song requests from all corners, playing a broad spectrum of artists ranging from Justin Bieber to Sinatra to Five Finger Death Punch – a testament to our commitment to musical inclusivity.

While occasional, requests often leaned towards bands like X Ambassadors, Lorde, Best Not Broken, The Killers, Nirvana, Paramore, and Imagine Dragons. Over time, i99Radio organically evolved into an alternative rock station, solidifying its identity as “i99Radio, Alternative 24×7” after approximately three months.

Since then, i99Radio has been a platform for a wide array of alternative artists, including Twenty One Pilots, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Halestorm, Linkin Park, Paramore, Sleeping With Sirens, The Maine, PVRIS, The Used, and many more. Our playlist expanded to include requests from local independent bands such as Andorra, Vista, Leo Moon, Resilient, Alright Junior, Judah and the Guarded heart, and others.

For us, “alternative” encompasses modern rock, punk rock, pop rock, pop punk, indie rock, and more within the realm of alternative rock music. The bands mentioned in the previous paragraphs constitute the fabric of our general rotation, streaming worldwide, and remaining commercial-free 24×7.

Diversity defines our playlist – from top alternative rock hits to B-Side gems, independent music to 90’s rock and modern tunes. To enhance the listening experience, we’ve categorized our extensive rotation into three general rotations: 

• General Rotation 1 (red)
• General Rotation 2 (green)
• General Rotation 3 (blue)

This division allows us to regularly switch up the rotation, keeping the music fresh. Whenever new tracks are added to i99Radio, they seamlessly integrate into the rotation currently playing, ensuring a blend of new releases and timeless favorites.

Back in August 2021, i99Radio is introduced a new schedule, aligning specific types of songs with designated time slots. All times mentioned on our website adhere to USA Eastern Standard Time (-5GMT). Beyond these specified hours, one of the General Rotations mentioned earlier will be on air, ensuring a continuous flow of diverse and engaging music.
