The Hip Hop Channel @ 95.3 will launch Tuesday Jan. 5 at 3 p.m. with 10,000 uninterrupted songs
Minneapolis, St. Paul (January 4th, 2016) – Locally owned, Go Media is excited to announce the launch of a new Go Radio station for the Twin Cities — The Modern Hip Hop Channel @ 95.3 — an independent station focused on providing local to legendary hip hop music over the air, online and anywhere music fans want to connect. The second Go Radio station, Go 95.3 will be the go-to destination for listeners craving emerging new voices in the modern hip hop world.
Go 95.3 will go live at 3pm, Jan. 5th with an uninterrupted 10,000 songs in a row.
“In 2015, we launched Go 96.3 with a focus on providing the best modern alternative music to Twin Cities listeners; we’ve had such a great time building that station — now it’s time to use the same modern approach and bring the modern hip hop channel to life.” said Joe Pohlad, CEO of Go Media.
Listeners want less canned and prepackaged programing. Modern music fans want the new and the now, with fun banter to make commuting around town more enjoyable. Go 95.3 will have an unparalleled sound with diverse musical offerings from artists like Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, J. Cole, Drake, Rihanna, The Weeknd and local artists such as Atmosphere, Doomtree & Brother Ali.
“Thanks in large part to the crew over at Rhymesayers, the hip hop scene in Minnesota is one of the best and most diverse in the country,” said Sam Gagliardi, President of Go Media. “The only thing that is missing is a radio station that focuses on mixing the best local music with the biggest national acts & songs. Go 95.3 will focus on just that.”
Along with launching with10,000 songs in row, we’re excited to announce that Mr. Peter Parker will return to the Minneapolis/St. Paul radio market as the new afternoon drive host and station music director. In addition to his past work in Minneapolis, Peter has hosted radio shows in Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia and Cleveland. “I can’t wait to get back on the air in the Twin Cities and bring the music that I love to the listeners of Go 95.3.” said Peter Parker. More on-air hosts will be introduced to the radio station soon.
