OUR EASTERN (New York) TIME ZONE RADIO PROGRAMS

STATION DESCRIPTION - We offer a curated selection of R&B wedding day music 24/7. As a unique digital broadcasting station, we aim to provide perfect R&B songs for couples planning to marry or renew their vows. Our station is designed to help you create a playlist for your wedding DJ or for anyone who wants to enjoy romantic songs, whether for date nights or those special moments.

MONDAY – FRIDAY SHOWS

 

6 AM to 10 AM -  Gospel Love & Inspiration airs every morning. The program features a blend of contemporary Gospel hits and classic Gospel songs that emphasize themes of love in their lyrics. These selections are perfect for those seeking a religious music experience free from secular influences, or they may simply inspire you to clap your hands, stomp your feet, and send words of praise into the atmosphere.

 

10 AM to 2 PM - The Prelude consists of love songs played 30 minutes before the ceremony and while guests find their seats. The show repeats overnight from 10 PM to 2 AM.

 

2 PM to 6 PM - The Processional & Recessional are songs played as the wedding party walks down the aisle and when they exit the ceremony space. Typically, slower songs are chosen for the wedding party to gracefully make their way down the aisle, while upbeat songs are often selected for everyone to dance back up the aisle during the exit. The music repeats overnight from 2 AM to 6 AM.

 

6 PM to 10 PM - The Reception airs daily and features the latest chart-topping hits.  Nonetheless, we advise against playing all new songs for the reception dance floor, because some songs contain inappropriate lyrics that discuss the breakup of a relationship.  Such songs are certainly not suitable for a wedding day or at the beginning of the newlyweds' married life.  After all, who wants to hear breakup songs on their special day?  We included the latest hits for you and listeners alike to discover what new hits have charted, but when creating a playlist or you are provided a playlist by your DJ, be sure to inform them of any song you do not want played during your reception. This will help to ensure you do not offend any guests with songs that are deemed inappropriate for the occasion.
