Radio Magnetic is an internet radio station based in Glasgow, Scotland, which began transmission at 4pm on Monday 19 March in 2001. We broadcast a continuous live stream for almost five years and maintained a popular archive of past programmes. We ceased live broadcast on Monday 19 January 2006. Since then we have concentrated on producing the best possible quality on demand and podcast programmes.

We play alternative, underground music that we think should be heard by as many people as possible. We are one of the UK's leading internet radio stations and with a curteous nod to our competitors in the alternative and underground scenes, we believe we have a unique blend of quality music, exclusive live sessions, mixes, club recordings, interviews and original programmes.

This website represents the next generation of Radio Magnetic. Navigation should be self-explanitory. Text pieces are in the News section, specialist radio programmes in Shows, guest contributions and other types of audio content (including Audio Postcards, DJ mixes, Live Circuit live sessions, interviews and club sessions) in Features, the Radio Magnetic who's who in Contributors and the rest should speak for itself.

We stream in two formats, Windows Media and Quicktime (MPEG-4). Please note that until recently we only streamed in Windows Media so not all shows are available in Quicktime format yet.

Radio Magnetic was founded by Dougal Perman and Tom Lousada and has had key input from many people through the years. We particularly recognise help and contributions from Ray Perman, Max Lousada, Don MacLellan, Molly Hawkins, Alison Hogg, Tommy Perman, Claire Lennon and a growing number of memebers of the wider Magnetic family.
