The first online radio was created about thirteen years ago, but there were no dedicated applications to play this content. The only options were the audio players included in computers, such as QuickTime, Media Player, and third-party applications like Shoutcast. Many computer owners didn’t know how to use these players. The “first online radio station” primarily played music, followed by various DJs streaming their music online, often without any kind of censorship.

In a different approach, the founders of Vision 1 Radio created the first fully programmed online radio station with sponsors and ads in 2008, featuring music related to a particular culture or country. This radio station served as a test for the development of a fully programmed bilingual radio station, which was established three years later in 2011 as Vision1Radio. It was the first real radio station to stream online in both Spanish and English, and it has been continuously operating since then.

In 2016, Vision1Radio established Scout Radio USA to support the Scouting movement and promote leadership within communities. These educational technology modules are designed to aid both adults and youth in our communities in finding solutions.
