Broadcasting live from a beer garden in North London, Boogaloo Radio transformed a cult music pub into a 24/7 online station. Powered by Radio.co, the team built a professional broadcast operation that could be run by non-technical presenters — extending their community beyond the pub walls to a global audience.

Radio.co provided a cloud-based broadcasting platform that allowed Boogaloo Radio to operate as a professional 24/7 station.
The platform enabled:
The system was intuitive enough for new team members to understand within an hour — removing the friction often associated with traditional broadcast software.
This allowed the team to focus on programming and community, not technical setup.
Boogaloo Radio successfully expanded beyond the physical pub, creating a globally accessible extension of its music culture.
Key outcomes:
The station demonstrates how hospitality and cultural venues can evolve into digital media brands without needing specialist broadcast infrastructure.
