FORT COLLINS, Colo. – June 26, 2023 – Loudspeaker Public Media, a Colorado-based public radio service, announced today the launch of The Riot, a new commercial-free, listener supported internet radio station that celebrates the music and stories of LGBTQIA+ artists. Streaming at riotradio.org, the station exclusively plays music by LGBTQIA+ artists from a wide range of musical genres, including indie pop, rock, dance, and more.
The Riot is named in honor of the Stonewall Riots, a 1969 protest movement organized after an unlawful police raid on New York City's Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969, creating a watershed moment in the fight for gay liberation in the United States.
Charles Joseph Kelly, Executive Producer and Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Loudspeaker, said: “At a time when human rights for the LBGTQIA+ community are under vicious assault, now more than ever we need to uplift their voices and stories, and The Riot is the new platform to do just that.”
