AP3net Radio &
theRokit are
Offline
Current federal legislation (see articles below) has made it necessary for us to
cease operations for the time being. Primarily featuring unsigned artists as well as talent from independent record labels, AP3net has operated internet radio for AP3net Radio since 1999 & theRokit.com since 2001 using a redundant network of Live365,
Shoutcast, &
Radio Destiny streaming radio and repeater services. Sadly, our backup programming stream, the custom AP3net SonicNet/ MTV.com channel, has
ceased operations permanently. While we shift our strategy for the future, alternate streaming sources are provided at left.
To help us, and all independent internet radio broadcasters, please
