Side A
The Story
01
Our Mission
0:35Classical music calls its greats "Masters." We're building the same permanent record for the artists who defined rock, soul, and country — while they're still here to benefit from it.
Over 3,000 recording artists from 1955–2006 are sitting on unreleased material with nowhere to take it: too established for algorithmic playlists built around new acts, too independent for terrestrial radio's major-label rotation. Masters Radio is the venue built for them — and for the fans who never stopped wanting new work from the artists who raised them. We pay artists fairly for it, and we're building a media company around that relationship instead of around ad inventory.
02
Who We Are
0:40Masters Radio isn't a stream with ads dropped into it anymore — that model is gone. What's left is a content company built around the artists themselves, priced dramatically below comparable content subscriptions and anchored by a subscriber base that opted in on purpose.
Free & open
New Music & the news feed
Our New Music list — linked out to the Spotify and YouTube playlists — and the News blog are open to everyone. Everything else below is a paid tier, at $4.99/month, well under comparable content subscriptions.
$4.99/mo — members
Backstage, the Top 100 & courses
Artist pages, interview podcasts, curated stations, a monthly Top 100 (plus an annual edition), Backstage editorial, and courses — including Crowdfunding for Artists and Remix Legends: AI Music Creation & Artist Collaboration.
Artist tools
Song Forge & the Artist Cut Library
A creation and submission platform that keeps working artists producing — and keeps the catalogue a brand can sponsor growing.
Capital
Crowdfunding for real projects
We help our own artists fund albums and tours directly — a partner sponsorship can sit inside that story, not next to a banner ad.

Who We Reach

Who they are: our audience skews toward the demographic legacy and classic-rock media has always over-indexed on — adults 45–70, disproportionately homeowners with discretionary income, who buy concert tickets, physical media, and gear. A fielded subscriber panel (age, income, purchase intent) is in progress and will sharpen this for anyone under contract — ask George for the current draft.

How We Compete
0:50We stopped competing for programmatic audio-ad budget — there's no stream to insert a spot into anymore. The honest comparison is against every other place a brand buys presence inside a niche, engaged content community.
| Masters Radio | iHeart / Pandora / Spotify audio ads | Legacy-music newsletters & superfan Discords | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unit sold | Editorial page, host mention, sponsorship — not an impression | 15–30s programmatic audio spot | Newsletter placement or shout-out |
| Audience | Self-selected legacy-artist community, verified human | Algorithmic, broad, largely passive | Small, loyal, hard to source at scale |
| Brand context | Sits beside artist stories your buyer already trusts | Interrupts an algorithmic playlist | Variable; no editorial standard |
| Content depth | Page, podcast mention, course tie-in, or crowdfunding co-sponsorship | Audio only | Text only, one channel |
| Reporting | Direct, named contact — not a self-serve dashboard | Aggregate platform metrics | Rarely formal |
