The 1920s Radio Network began streaming on May 8, 2004 after construction of our new studio facilities, deep in the woods of Chesapeake Virginia. In 2012 we moved our technical operations to Norfolk. In May of 2021, 9 years later, we are moving our operations back to our original studios. We are here to fill a void that today's radio cannot or will not do- remembering and preserving our American radio history. Also we are here to provide broadcast stations a source of nostalgia programming.

Worldwide Audience

Over the years we have obtained a dedicated group of loyal listeners that appreciate nostalgia and keeping the past alive for entertainment and educational purposes. Our biggest audience outside of the US is The UK and Germany and we had north of 200,000 listener hours per month, not including on air services, before getting cancelled by big woke tek in June 2021. We are a small operation and are doing what we can to get our listeners back.

Shoutcast Based Streaming

We have been using Shoutcast compatible encoding since day 1 and it will work with almost any MP3 type player. Our primary stream operates in mono at 64kbps. This is the equivalent of a 128kbps stereo feed. Since all of our material is mono it would be a waste to send out stereo (or dual mono) which would otherwise be plagued with noise and phasing problems if the encoder was stereo. The above link will launch your Winamp player or other /.pls device.

Old Time Radio Service

In addition to our music service we also operate a 24-7 Old Time Radio service with about 100 different shows. Scroll down to see our schedule....

Here's the folks that keep things running and sounding like it does......

Lori and Brian

Lori Evans

Our Announcer Girl

Lori has helped us out for years; she's the one you hear doing the time announcements, Old Time Radio, and many others. Lori also had cystic fibrosis and sadly she left us Christmas of 2012. She was only 32. In her memory we keep her voice alive. She would have wanted that.
