OUR EASTERN (New York) TIME ZONE RADIO PROGRAMS

STATION DESCRIPTION - We offer a curated selection of wedding day music available 24/7.  As a unique digital broadcasting station, we strive to provide ideal Gospel, Hip-hop, R&B, and Smooth, Contemporary, or Traditional Jazz songs for couples planning to marry or renew their vows. Our station is designed to help couples create a personalized wedding day playlist, which they can share with their wedding DJ or enjoy during date nights and other special occasions.

MONDAY – FRIDAY SHOWS

 

6 AM to 10 AM -  Gospel Love & Inspiration airs every morning. The program features a rotation of Contemporary Gospel hits and Gospel songs that emphasize themes of love in their lyrics. These selections are perfect for those seeking a religious wedding day music experience free from secular influences, or they may simply inspire you to clap your hands, stomp your feet, and send words of praise into the atmosphere.

 

10 AM to 2 PM - The Prelude consists of love songs played 30 minutes before the ceremony starts, while guests are ushered to their seats. The show repeats overnight from 10 PM to 2 AM.

 

2 PM to 6 PM - The Processional & Recessional are songs played as the wedding party walks down the aisle and when they exit the ceremony space. Typically, slower songs are chosen for the wedding party to gracefully make their way down the aisle, while upbeat songs are often selected for everyone to dance back up the aisle during the exit. The music repeats overnight from 2 AM to 6 AM.

 

6 PM to 10 PM - The Reception airs daily and features the latest chart-topping hits. Nonetheless, we advise against playing all new songs from the charts for the reception dance floor, because some songs have inappropriate lyrics that are unsuitable for a wedding day.  Essentially, we have included the latest Hip-hop and R&B Hits for listeners to discover what hits have charted nationally. When creating a playlist for your wedding DJ, or your wedding DJ provides you with a playlist, be sure to inform the DJ of any songs you do not want played on your special day.

Traditionally, the brides chooses a song for the Father-Daughter Dance, and the groom selects a song for the Mother-Son Dance that are scheduled to occur during the first part of the reception.
