With Trinity Brown Group, The DOME Group (which owns Durham’s Art of Cool Festival) has launched AOCRadio, an online radio station available as a live stream and an app download, which is expected to also be available at Radio.com by the end of the year.
The station focuses on jazz, soul, and “mature hip-hop,” in line with the grown-folks-music brand the festival demonstrated in September, when it brought the likes of Jill Scott and Run-DMC to Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Rolling out commercial-free with a reported ten thousand songs, AOCRadio plans to expand its programming with national DJ spotlights; podcast-like arts, culture, and business content; and playlists curated by Art of Cool fans.
