This week, we’re introducing you to E3 Radio: Queer Radio Done Right.E3 Radio is an online radio network, created by Anna DeShawn in 2009, that produces authentically-edgy radio streams from a queer point of view. Their three pillars are to educate, empower, & entertain.

Can you briefly describe your project and the origins of E3 Radio?

E3 Radio is an online radio network curated from a queer point of view. We celebrate black, brown & queer music by not only providing a platform to be heard on, but also by playing the music in higher rotation. E3 was born out of a need for more visibility.

How did you hear about RadioKing?

I’d been searching for a platform where we could broadcast 24/7 and be heard all the time. We also needed a platform that provided us with the ability to curate, brand, and control what gets played. RadioKing was a great fit!

In your opinion, what are the essential features that RadioKing offers to a radio station?

We really value the ability to use tags in our playlists. The many features of the Radio Manager are extremely robust and really give us a lot of control over our programming.

What’s your target audience?

Our primary target audience is black, brown & queer folks who enjoy good music. In addition, we target people who want to hear something different than your traditional FM/AM stations.
