AccuRadio

Not to be confused with AccuWeather.

AccuRadio (IPA: /ˌækjuːˈreɪdioʊ/) is an independent, multichannel Internet radio property founded in 2000, and based in Chicago, Illinois, US,[1] available globally.[2] It currently offers over a thousand pre-developed 'music channels'. Some channels also highlight music from different locations around the world.

The first three channels on Accuradio were "Swingin' Pop Standards", "Piano Jazz" and "Modern Rock Classics".

All of AccuRadio's audio channels (except those which are comedy-focused) provide continuous music streaming with talk limited to occasional commercials. While a song is playing, album cover, artist, song and album or mixtape information appears on screen. AccuRadio programmers select the music from the database available to them based on what they think is suitable.[3]

In September 2014, NantWorks LLC, a company headed by Patrick Soon-Shiong, invested US$2.5 million into AccuRadio.[4]
