PRESS RELEASE

African Internet Radio (AIR)
Rupert Palmer, Sierra Leone

African Internet Radio (A.I.R.) - formerly Sierra Leone Radio - the world's first online radio station dedicated to spreading the wide range of Sierra Leonean music to a global audience - announces a massive leap in audience listening figures for the first quarter of 2008.

African Internet Radio has been bringing a wide variety of music from Sierra Leone and the rest of Africa to over 20,000 listeners every month - and is now rated as the second most popular African orientated online station on the popular iTunes radio directory.

Founded in 2003 by Rupert Palmer, former manager of Freetown's first private commerical FM station - ABC FM 94 - A.I.R. continues to break new grounds by offering any budding Sierra Leonean DJ the chance to broadcast to a global audience, from the comfort of their own computer.

"We developed a unique system of broadcasting which allows anybody with a desire to entertain the masses - a chance to broadcast on a global scale" - Rupert reports.

"We are also forging close working relationships with some of the top roadcasters in the African orientated radio industry" - he continues.

African Internet Radio is looking to expand further by linking up with Sierra Leone based radio stations - with an internet connection.

"We have a wide variety of top notch programmes that we feel Sierra Leoneans without computer access would love to tune into - whilst providing the stations with a real unique advantage over their competitors".
