I don’t mind hardstyle but today it has a more narrow following of mostly younger people aged 16-25 in Northern Europe. it is near enough mainstream pop music in some parts of NL, SLAM FM is a big radio station that plays a lot of it.

the difficulty with scheduling stuff on PVR is that our recorded programme content is long mixed sets and not as easy to schedule on auto DJ due to technical limitations of the software used (a similar problem affects VFR which is why the selecrtion is random) and it takes a fair bit of time and effort to look after all the streams, basically we are running almost the same output as Hilversum media centre in NL but with volunteer staff spread across the whole world.

And same as the hilversum stations we do not have totally unlimited resources so they get allocated to what is most popular worldwide.

The EBU (European Broadcasters Union) sends me a magazine every quarter addressed to Party Vibe Radio as their boffins are genuinely interested in what we are doing here and how we do it as along with the rise of mobile telephone use and 3G data its changing European and global broadcasting.
