Conclusion
accuradio.com
It caters to the needs of the modern professional and provides easy access to a wide variety of genres. Furthermore, AccuRadio is the only radio station that can be controlled right from your smartphone, laptop or desktop.
Since the rebranding, AccuRadio's active monthly listeners and sessions increased rapidly. A couple of years ago, AccuRadio was ranked #12 in U.S. Digital Audio Networks and Services by Triton Digital. Within a year, AccuRadio's number of active monthly listeners rose from 10,400 to 14,000 users, an increase of 35%. Additionally, sessions increased from 2.1 million to 2.5 million which is an increase of over 21%.
Unique demographics
According to recent studies, people between the ages of 35 and 64 are the most engaged with radio as a source of entertainment. This is why AccuRadio is unique in that it specifically caters to this demographic. In contrast, streaming services such as Spotify, Pandora, and Apple Music are mostly geared towards millennials between 18 and 36.
Different platforms have different playlists tailored to different demographics. For instance, Prime Music's "Classical Dreamtime" is one of the most popular playlists alongside its "Classic Rock Dinner Party" playlist. A playlist that has good songs that will relax the listener's audience can have a profound impact.
What is AccuRadio?
AccuRadio is a multichannel radio site that provides music from a wide range of genres. Estimates show that over a million people use the site each month, which has grown threefold since 2015.
Its large catalog of over 50 genres gives its success as a streaming service. This library includes genres such as country, love, classical, oldies, adult rock, pop, rap, dance and chill along with some niche genres like french pop and native american. This media library allows for a great bifurcation of its content into sub-genres which makes it very versatile.
History
AccuRadio is an internet radio station based in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in the year 2000 and has over 1000+ music channels that cover a wide range of genres and subgenres. From pop, rock, folk and urban, to country, new age, jazz, electronics, and oldies, you'll find almost anything and everything on the network.
Since AccuRadio started off as an independent network, it has gradually grown in popularity. Now, the station reaches out to 2 million listeners every month and logs 500,000 hours of listening time each day.
Why should you stream on AccuRadio?
Unlike other online radio streaming services, AccuRadio is a true content provider with all the features that come in a premium music app. Over 2 million peoplestream it every month because of this. It has its own website and dedicated app that let you keep your listening history and save your favorite music so you can access it later.
Premium features
You won't believe that this streaming service allows you to skip as many songs as you want. Not just that, you can even ban artists and songs from a specific channel. This goes to show the extent to which you can go to customize your channels. I had a hard time understanding these features but after 3 years of radio streaming, I can now understand why. Nonetheless, everything I mentioned is offered as a premium feature in most radio streaming sites and some of these features aren't even available in some of them.
Sharing capabilities
AccuRadio has a great community. In fact, we receive good service most of the time, but we sometimes neglect the app assuming we can't form a community. However, with AccuRadio, you already have over two million active monthly users. Thus, chances are that you can share your favorite channels and songs with your friends and family because they might be using AccuRadio too.
How to access AccuRadio?
Alternatively, you can browse through our collection of free audio content by scrolling down the page.
You can access AccuRadio in two ways. First, you type the keyword AccuRadio into your search engine and you'll probably get the website on the top of the first page. Alternatively, you can browse through our collection of free audio content by scrolling down the page.
Design
AccuRadio has a color combination that stands out from all the other streaming services out there. The purple background with orange accents is very noticeable, but the website itself doesn't look very good to me. The elements on the website, such as the layout and the images, are important too, and they're not very good in my opinion.
I don't think the hero section of the website is as effective as it could be because there are so many tiny thumbnails crammed in rows on the page. It's strange that the website doesn't have an inner page for its content- you can access almost all of it from the homepage.

Accuradio's header section features a logo with the slogan "Better radio for your workday?" on the left and Sign Up, Login, and a search bar on the right. Between the two is a blue field with white text reading Accuradio's Latest Station List.
Hero Section
The Hero Section of this website is divided into three sections: Today's features on the left, genres on the center, and popular channels on the right. The top channels are listed in bold, and the smaller video player underneath has videos from these channels.
Body
The body section of this website continues the same format: a list of genres on the left, and thumbnail images in the middle section. However, there is one change in the right section - a video ad plays continuously.
Inner pages
AccuRadio doesn't have dedicated inner pages for content. If you click on any genre on the homepage, it will list the most popular channels from that genre on the homepage itself. So, there's no in-depth customization as we've seen on another website. The only dedicated pages you'll find are through the footer section, where you learn about the brand, advertise on the network, Submit Music and check out themes.

Content
AccuRadio's well-curated playlist based upon channels is something that attracts new users. Some of the popular playlists on the network include - HitKast, Listener's Top 100, Today's New Country, the 1970s & 1980s Lite hits, Lighter Sunny Hit Mix, 1980s Hits, Classical Relaxation, Smooth Jazz, AccuClassical and 2000s Country.
Desktop/Mobile experience
The streaming is quite seamless on mobile and desktop. I heard some 80s classics and top hits from today. I didn't face any trouble except a couple of 30-second ads. Is it too much? Maybe. But is the platform worth streaming? Yes. What I like about this platform is that it also offers compatibility with Roku and Kindle. Thus, it is more compatible than most of the radio streaming services out there.
Plans & Pricing
AccuRadio is free to use, but you will need to watch non-skippable pre-roll ads in order to continue streaming.
Suggestions I have for AccuRadio
It?s dated and not user-friendly.
I don't like the ads on AccuRadio, or the website itself - it's dated and not user-friendly. I think $4.99 for a premium feature could help users get rid of the ads, and make the website more user-friendly.
Conclusion
If you're into classic music, then you should definitely check out channels like HitKast. It offers the biggest hits from the last few years, regardless of what type of music you're into.
