| On it's third anniversary
MagicTrips Radio, the most popular unofficial Disney radio broadcast
on the Internet, will become Florida Project Radio. This move ends
the three year association with unofficial Disney vacation planning
site Magictrips.com (formerly Disneytrips.com). To kick off the new
name change, the broadcast will feature program history highlights as
well as glimpses into the future of the programming.
"While we don't particularly like name changes, this one makes sense,"
says Joshua Jones, the director and founder of MagicTrips Radio. He
mentions that listener hours dropped off during last year's name
change, but has positive hopes the new name will draw more people to
the program. "The name more accurately reflects our broadcast
content."
MagicTrips Radio began as Disneytrips Radio in April 2000. The four
hour broadcast expanded, both in content and in listener hours, to
become the most listened Disney broadcast on Live365.com in late
2001. In fall 2002, the broadcast was renamed MagicTrips Radio after
Disneytrips.com changed its name, and went on a short four month
hiatus during the summer following several legal battles between the
recording industry and the Internet radio industry.
The broadcast features sounds and music from the Walt Disney World
Resort located near Orlando, Florida. Music and dialogue from shows
and attractions, as well as parades and resorts can be found during a
randomly looping 15 hour collection. Shows and specials are
occasionally produced to highlight events at the Resort, such as a
farewell mega-mix of the Main Street Electrical Parade and a 60 minute
history of Epcot for it's 20th anniversary.
Florida Project Radio, part of the Live365.com Radio line-up, will
debut on April 24.
