Swiss
Internet Radio (former RadioCrazy Classical&Jazz)
is an internet radio broadcaster playing mainly classical
music and jazz genres. After a six month test operation
in 2001 we have started our service on August 2, 2002.
In December 2009 the Public
Domain Radio began its daily radio transmissions for
the Swiss Foundation Public Domain.
Swiss Internet Radio is
a part of the Swiss Foundation Public
Domain. A charitable organization in Switzerland, specialized
in the conservation and utilization of public domain music
and film material.
We see our mission as rescuing recordings from past decades,
produced on sensitive and easily damaged materials, from
deterioration and potential oblivion. Our first goal is
to have gramophone records and motion pictures, which
are an invaluable resource, transformed into longterm
readable and usable data files by expert staff, using
state of the art procedures (such as FLAC and Theora).
Our second goal is the investigation of the copyright
status, the cataloging of the description of any work
in our database and the upload to Wikimedia Commons.
swissradio.ch Opera
can continues his streaming on 1 July 2016 with protected
music. We found a sponsor for paying the annual copyright
royalties, that interested listeners around the globe have
a platform to hear performances of known and unknown composers. |
