Women in Internet Radio History

WOODLAND CA (IFS) -- First, she wanted to make a record or two. We recorded some tracks and they are included in this story on Felicia Carrie's Birthday Radio Show. Then she was interested in internet radio and television.
It all started with a small gift from SDC RadioWorks in 2013, the opportunity to manage your own radio station. SDC Digital's new direction into cloud-based programming and AI (artificial intelligence) for "turn-key" radio operations, they partnered with FCN Radio's Felicia Carrie for the first test station.
The Felicia Carrie Networks' first station was the new StarMedia Radio One, which she ran under her FCN Radio One. Carrie's outreach to young artists that have been incarcerated at that time, started giving radio airtime and playtime to these artists.
"No song should be without a radio station," said Felicia Carrie. Carrie's original quote that would later make her a star in the world of street-side rap. FCN Radio One early artist was straight outta jail and prisons, and with time on their hands, the music had time to be creative. And it got harder. Nobody would dare play it.
It was harder than gangsta. Carrie's network requested that the artists remove enough of the swearwords, so that the song could be enjoyed, that she would be grateful to play on her station.
They needed a place to vent and FCN Radio One was the lifting platform. Its nothing too crazy these days as regular radio has finally stopped "beeping" the bad words and letting the artists sing their songs. As she began to sort through thousands of submitted tracks and downloads, this was over the top. Ninety (90) percent of the artists were only one time.
With Carrie's programming, she singled out the violence in music and records -- where it was starting to spread, and as with underground radio, FCN began with cleaning the tracks campaigns, and the music got better as success began to spread with really great tracks and sounds, and they did not require all the swearing-in a song. These were the kids with all those tattoos all over their faces.
After KDTN Radio One - Country split-up, where the station fans just wanted the pure country, and it was time. KDTN's format had never changed since its' inception on the internet in 1994.
In 2013, it was only 168 Million radio stations worldwide, with enough music to fill 280 million CDs released and being in the top 500,000 radio stations in the world meant something.
In today's market place, there are over 500 Million radio stations worldwide and over 600 million CDs recorded and released every year worldwide. The music marketplace these days, including being in the top five (5) million radio stations worldwide. The top (1) million artists in the world, and the top two (2) million songs in the world.
Opening the launch of 2013 radio stations from SDC includes StarMedia, SDC Radio One, SDC RadioMixx, SDCOG Radio One, SDCXPRESS Radio, SDC AxiSys Radio One, HitSteria Radio One, and sixteen others over the years, et al.
Carrie was responsible for the multi black music format where you get a taste of everything that will keep you moving and dancing. Carrie decided that she was going into magazine publishing and that the radio station was not the experience she wanted to continue, and with that FCN Radio became SDC StarMedia Radio One and has grown into an association with BBC Radio Music.
The one little station that started a revolution continues and grows with the music, news and new recording artists. As they would say, Junior, is all grown-up.
