Inner Ear’s first, and flagship, venture, the highly-acclaimed internet radio station Radio Magnetic, began broadcast on 19 March 2001. Today it is more popular than ever. Radio Magnetic has been one of the UK’s top five internet radio stations since it began. It enjoys a strong reputation with listeners and the independent music industry alike and is one of the UK Windows Media Guide’s main featured stations.

The station began with a pirate-style, underground attitude to which it still holds true. It broadcast online 24/7 until 16 January 2006 when the focus was shifted to on demand. This shift reflected changing online listening habits. Inner Ear has always known that on demand would become an essential element of entertainment and information media. Radio Magnetic is a key example of how we have always strived to forecast trends and stay ahead.

Set up by Dougal Perman and Tom Lousada, Radio Magnetic was run by Dougal until late 2006. Dougal chose Inner Ear’s content manager Tony Black, also Radio Magnetic’s head of music, to lead the station forward into the web 2.0/web 3.0 era. A team of researchers, producers and presenters contribute regularly to the station. In addition to a core base of regularly produced specialist shows, Radio Magnetic also features guest content such as live sessions, interviews, DJ mixes and special features.
