Who we are

Pride 48 is a free resource for any GLBT or GLBT-friendly content producer. We allow independent producers to connect to our server and stream live shows for their listeners. Additionally, when live content is not being streamed we play GLBT-friendly content and music from independent artists. The station is supported by a combination of listener donations and volunteer work from the community. >During June of each year, we produce 48 hours of live-streaming shows during Pride weekend. This year, that event will take place on June 25th-27th

In keeping with being a community-focused website, we have numerous ways for content providers and fans to have their voices heard through our server. Click on the participate button at the top of the page to find out how.

History

The idea for Pride 48 originated in 2009 from two GLBT podcasters who were both toying with the idea of live-streaming their shows. Adam from "The Adam and Matty Show" and Daniel from "Dubious Intent" decided to both use the same streaming server for their shows. As they both produced weekly shows, the server sat idle for the majority of the time. A late-night conversation about how to make more use of the server led to the idea of streaming for 48 hours during June (Pride weekend).

The first annual Pride 48 marathon was June 26th-28th 2009, and boasted almost 20 participating podcasters. Several of those podcasters continued to live-stream their shows on Pride 48 after the event. There were some minor technical issues with the first event, but for the most part it was an exciting and fun event for everyone.
