Downtown Magazine’s Lifestyle and Family Editor, Denise Courter, introduces readers to Little Water Radio. As Lower Manhattan becomes a destination for locals and tourists alike, the South Street Seaport is making a name for itself as well. Little Water Radio (LWR) has made its broadcasting debut at the South Street Seaport. Once a neighborhood overshadowed by the more glamorous neighborhoods of downtown, the Seaport is becoming a thriving dining destination and shopping district. Now, Little Water Radio seeks to bring attention to an eclectic group of musicians, producers, storytellers and disc jockey’s who are bringing live, independent radio to Lower Manhattan.
Each weekend LWR streams live from the Fulton Stall Market, showcasing local events, businesses and residents. In addition, they plan to broadcast interviews with local artists and musicians and provide a platform to local chefs from neighborhood restaurants.
Operating as a free-form netradio station, LWR presents a wide range of DJs with a track record of delivering adventurous, eclectic programming. On-air personalities have the freedom to be as creative as possible in developing the format of their shows, which run in 2 hour time blocks. LWR features interviews, live performances, comedy and talk, record release previews and some of New York’s best DJ talent, such as Delphine Blue, Northern Spy Records and Hans Tammen of Harvestworks.
In addition to its weekly schedule, LWR streams a live broadcast from noon to 7 p.m. every Saturday andSunday from the market. The line-up will vary and will focus on local music makers.
Fans are invited to stop by the station which is located at 207 Front Street (Fulton Stall Market). For more information, please visit http://www.
