Music News - Got indie?! AndHow FM Press Release
08 April 2014 - 0 Comments
A world-class, always eclectic, commercial-free, indie, alternative, retro/vintage rock & more radio station. Where it’s ALL about the music!
A celebration of great music, brought to you by Reverend Aquaman & the music-loving, motley crew of audiophiles that make up the 107.5 andHow.FM Air Force. Since 8 November 1998, we have been jamming the free world, one person at a time & filling your bandwidth & your airwaves with stuff you wish you heard on the radio plus your requests. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year on the world wide web, to 170 other countries all over the planet & down underground at 107.5 FM in Porirua, New Zealand (Aotearoa).
Originally, andHow started as a dream that was conceptualized & realized when we were broadcasting from laptops & lawn chairs, high a-top the Rainbow Bridge in Bridge City, Texas. Way back then, AndHow Web Radio was socially interacting in the cloud even before the Dot.com crash of the early 2000′s, long before anyone had ever even come up with the phrase “social media”. We were once taking our requests via ICQ & by e-mail, streaming to the world via dial-up internet in the days BEFORE broadband. Suddenly we were able to help make a very big world seem like a very cozy place to live. It was at that time that we realized the commitment to grow ourselves as an international radio station. 15 years later, we have come thus far on our journey to the other side of the planet in Papakowhai, New Zealand. Named as one of the “elder statesmen of internet radio”, we are the defenders & caretakers of independent, commercial-free radio; now securely established deep in the studio bunker…at the new, world headquarters for andHow.FM. An oasis in a sea of soulless corporate & over-commercialized radio and “internet radio services”.
As always, our commitment to promote a majority of our content with music from independent artists remains! We even give you the ability to program andHow.FM by picking selections from our library & getting them played back live on the air via our requests page. By making your requests to our station, you are helping to promote your favorite artists on an international stage! In turn, listenership to these musicians on andHow.FM are reflected in the direct reporting of those artists and their rankings to Last.FM, TuneIn & RadioTuna. So just simply listening and interacting with andHow.FM, actually helps support & directly promote the artist’s music! When you aren’t listening to our hand-selected music mix, you can enjoy our radio shows from presenters all over the world! If you miss a show, check out the show portals and listen to a podcast from your favorite DJ.
Since 2009, andHow.FM is still entertaining & interacting with our listeners via our social networking portal and FM w/RDS broadcasts via 107.5 FM in Porirua. Our commitment to remain commercial-free & independent has always kept us thinking outside the box. During that time we have seen a LOT of other radio stations & music services come & go.
Often imitated, but never duplicated...107.5 andHow.FM! Got Indie?

Originally, a dream that was realized while we were broadcasting from laptops and lawn chairs high a-top the Rainbow Bridge in Bridge City, Texas. We have come thus far on our journey, over 13 years later in Papakowhai, New Zealand. The veterans, defenders and caretakers of independent, commercial-free, internet radio now securely established deep in the studio bunker...in the new, world headquarters for AndHow.
AndHow Web Radio was 'socially interacting' in the 'cloud' even before the Dot.com crash of the early 2000's. We were once taking our requests via ICQ and by e-mail, streaming to the world via dial-up internet in the days BEFORE broadband. We were able to make a very big world seem like a very cozy place to live.
Today, andHow.FM is still socially interacting with the world via Twitter, Facebook, MySpace & our website. Broadcasting locally on 107.5 FM & on the internet at andhow.FM, we still love to bring new music to fans all over the world. We still take your requests and help you to personalize a mix that we know you will love making as much as we do. We even give you the ability to "program andHow.FM" by picking selections from our library and getting them played back on the air via our requests page! Similar to Pandora & Spotify, but instead of an audience of one, you have a audience of thousands! http://www.andhow.org/playing.html.
