The community at global news website Reddit.com has created their first collaborative internet radio staion.

Here is the station's information as released by reddit community:

For those who have not been following, we have been planning the introduction of a non-official user driven Reddit based radio station that features Reddit bands and artists.

At first we just did a "Radio Reddit" night to see how it would go. The station was filled to capacity within minutes.

The "official" start time is at 7pm EST tonight (December 1st). The station features a few hundred artists and bands, mostly from the subreddit "WeAreTheMusicMakers", and has a wide spectrum of different musical styles.

The plan is to keep adding content to the station and to maintain it's growth. Eventually we'd like to have featured bands and artists in a scheduled playlist, live stream shows, and have redditor dj's.
