Musical Starstreams, the internationally-syndicated radio program and full-time format of ethereal, spacey, futuristic, progressive, ambient, worldly, dubby, trip hop, acid jazz, downtempo, chill music (simply called "exotic electronica") begins a seven day per week, nightly schedule tonight on WNUA, Chicago, the USA's third largest national media market and streaming on WNUA.com.
Longtime WNUA MD and programmer, Rick O'Dell, said, "Starstreams has been 'can't miss listening' for its legions of Chicagoland fans for 21 years on WNUA. And, for every listener who's asked us over the years to 'give us more,' we finally have some good news with the new nightly broadcast of the show."
Musical Starstreams originated and first aired in San Francisco on December 20th of 1981. Ronald Reagan had been our president for just eleven months, interest rates were in the double digits and recordings were sourced from vinyl and cassettes - there were no compact discs or digital music files.
After a brief stint in the Chicago market on WCKG, Starstreams first aired on a weekly basis on WNUA in November of 1987. In 1991, the program was nominated for a prestigious Billboard magazine award for Network/Syndicator Adult Program of the Year. Over the years Starstreams has aired on over 200 radio stations - including WNUA, KKSF San Francisco, KNTU Dallas, XM CHILL Channel 84, DirecTV and numerous satellite channels and the Internet at Starstreams.com, Live365.com and the top rated, full-time AMBIENT channel at radioIO.com.
Thousands of programs later, producer and host Forest has perfected and evolved a proven, unique mix of mid- to down-tempo "exotic electronica" -- neither head banging techno, nor syrupy new age -- and in the process Starstreams has consistently garnered top ratings and loyal listeners worldwide.
Musical Starstreams, the exotic side of radio, is offered without charge weekly, nightly or full time, on a barter basis, to radio stations worldwide.
