HealthyLife.Net Radio Network

Company History

In September 2001, realizing that local radio stations and quality non-sensational information was becoming nonexistent, Linda Mackenzie planned and implemented in October, 2002, one of the first "Live" all positive radio stations on the Internet - HealthyLife.Net. The radio network broadcasts over the Internet and is now syndicated on many Internet Radio streams, private radio networks and is available on Wifi, PDAs and Smartphones.

Beginning in beta-test with only Linda broadcasting 5 days a week, other radio hosts jumped on board in January 2003 which culminated in 589,787 listeners for the year.

In April, 2004 HealthyLife.Net began 24/7 programming and the audience count grew by word of mouth alone to reach 2,399,633 in 49 countries. In 2004, the station also became an associate member of NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) and HealthyLife.Net started pursuing syndication venues.

In 2005, adding top of the line equipment and staff, the HealthyLife.Net Radio Network continued to grow in program genres, hosts and reached an audience size of 8,522,455 listeners. Syndicating on 2 other Internet Radio channels was put in place.

In 2006, HealthyLife.Net held its first Radio Network Host Expo in Los Angeles, California called "Live In L.A." for the express purpose of allowing listeners to get "up close and personal" with their favorite radio hosts which numbered over 45. HealthyLife.Net Radio was also picked up for syndication by Penguin Radio and continued to grow in audience size.

In 2007, HealthyLife.Net Radio continued to grow to reach an audience in 104 countries. It was also syndicated by 6 additional simulcasting companies, including private radio networks WiFi, PDAs, and Smartphone access, as well as the Internet. HealthyLife.Net Radio Network also opened a Listener Cyberspace Clubhouse to add diversity to the site and gather actual listener demographic information. We also added social media for Google Groups and My Space.

In 2008, HealthyLife.Net continues with its syndication path and was picked up as a content provider for the Microsoft radio network (MSN), which comes standard on every Windows Media Player that is downloaded by listeners worldwide. HealthyLife.Net radio also syndicated to other simulcasting companies, making a grand total of 15 companies that now provide 24/7 access to HealthyLife.Net Radio Network's positive programs. HealthyLife.Net continues to grow in worldwide audience to108 countries and now reaches 1,240 cities in all 50 U.S. states in America. We added more social media via Facebook.

In 2009, HealthyLife.net is syndicated and simulcast 24/7 on over 26 channels of distribution, including Mobile, which generates approximately 3 million listeners a month to our network. We also started podcast downloads for our listeners, added better functionality for MAC Users, started a blog and added Twitter to our social media mix. To get 'up close & personal' with our listeners we added host videos to our site, participated in many consumer trade shows and contributed to silent auctions. To increase our social responsibility we added a "Give Back" program to positive childrens organizations like The Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland and Write On! For Literacy. To promote environmental awareness we started a 'Green Series' to give people ecology and environmental tips and tools.

In 2010 HealthyLife.Net started the 1st positive weekday News broadcast providing news straight up without fear, propaganda or politics; increased its syndication to 52 channels of distribution including cars, ipods and even an alarm clock radio tuner; added sharing and bookmarking of its pertinent web pages; added 2 more brain games to the Free Clubhouse 'Tennis' venue; started the terrestrial radio syndicated Bobby Likis Car Clinic radio show; provided individual host archive shows in addition to onsite on-demand listening as a free RSS feed, Podcast, ITunes format and .mp3 download.

In 2011 HealthyLife.net decided to give back to its local community and provide local programming on South Bay Saturdays; expanded its show archive free download capability to include RSS, .mp3, ITunes and Ipod format; increased its syndication to 58 channels of distribution and included all smartphones and Ipad apps through its partnership with TuneIn.com.
