URL (U Rock Lately) Radio is a local radio station on a national stage, the Internet. It’s a station for the people and by the people. U R in charge. U R keepin’ it local. U decide the music. U decide the programming. U R important. U Rock! U R the future of radio. We’re changing the face of radio and yet getting back to the basics. We’re taking the good old days of local radio, with local on air talent, requests, dedications, programming and focus and moving it to the internet so everyone who is currently living in the Bismarck-Mandan area and formerly lived in the Bismarck-Mandan area can get it. Besides “being local”; URL radio can do something else local radio stations can’t -- go anywhere. If you are at work, more than likely, you can get us. If you are traveling out of state for business, more than likely, you can get us. If you are vacationing, more than likely, you can get us. If you’ve moved away and still want to keep in touch, you can get us. If you are stationed in Iraq, you can get us. As long as you have internet access, you can get us. Within the next couple years, internet access will be available almost everywhere: cars, tractors, televisions, it’s even spread to phones already. This really is the future of radio and we’re excited to be at the forefront.
