In 2000, veteran radio industry researcher and RAIN founder Kurt Hanson launched AccuRadio with a mission to encourage broadcasters to embrace the variety and personalization made possible by Internet delivery of radio.
Today, AccuRadio is the home to some 1,400 personalizable music channels that are presently home to no less than 105 different Christmas and holiday-themed music channels — with more to come.
Hanson’s AccuRadio believes it has more holiday-themed stations than any other service, including Sirius XM, which has regularly touted its variety of subscription-based stations available on the satellite radio platform and/or via its streaming app.
Hanson also says that the holiday music programming at AccuRadio “goes much deeper and wider than broadcast radio stations or other digital radio providers.”
This includes Smooth Hanukkah, Swingin’ Little Christmas, Reggae Christmas, Brazilian Christmas, Celtic Christmas, Indie Rock Christmas and Gospel Christmas, among the many options.
“There’s literally something on AccuRadio for everyone, every occasion, and every mood,” Hanson boasts. “We hope our listeners enjoy the treat of sampling as many of our holiday channels as they can over the next couple of weeks.”
