Motivational Radio Celebrates Milestone

Motivational Radio

Motivational Radio is a start-up online radio station out of NZ that just celebrated its first year in business.  An idea born out of the desire of motivational speaker Mr. Motivator; Anthony Hosking of Christchurch NZ.,  to create the best and the biggest online radio in the world is well on its way to seeing this into reality.

Being an internet marketer for years Anthony noticed that a lot of sites were offering bogus info as a quick money grab to the unsuspecting home business builder. Many people come online searching for information and answers to questions regarding marketing and online tools to best build their business. It can be overwhelming and confusing when trying to find and decide who to trust. Being a motivational speaker for over a decade, Anthony Hosking knew the importance of staying motivated when stepping into building a business on your own so he thought it good to bring the two needs together in one spot.

After a few months of masterminding in the spring of 2009 Anthony Hosking hit the online airwaves August of last year with 2 listeners including himself. Motivational Radio was started with the listeners in mind. This new online internet radio broadcasts music, motivational messages and the best marketing and business tools and tips for building a successful business.

With  vision and passion along with the drive to do whatever it takes, day by day the pieces started to fall into place.  Slowly but surely with each broadcast more listeners would show up and then a few key people joined the vision to become members of a small team to bring this project from possibility into manifestation. This past week on August 18th during a motivational talk by Deremiah *CPE Motivational Radio topped 1 million listeners. This is an incredible success for this small start-up online radio station as they celebrate their first year in broadcasting.

Motivational Radio Celebrates One Million Listeners

The goal for 2010 was 100,000 listeners by Christmas. When that was met a few months back a new goal of one million was made. Now that that has been passed, a new goal will certainly be forthcoming. I can’t wait to hear what it will be.

What is great about online radio broadcasting is that you can keep it real. Real people sharing real content. When the numbers topped one million Anthony Hosking the station manager and owner interrupted the show to share the great news with the dedicated listeners and joined in celebration by singing along to the Queen classic We Are the Champions.

Motivational Radio’s Hours of Operation:

At the moment this online radio broadcasts every Monday-Friday from 4-9pm EST with the goal of broadcasting 24/7 in the next 24 months. They are now renting the studio out to others who want to host their own weekly show at very reasonable rates. You can review their radio advertising packs here: cheap radio advertising and read about using online radio advertising here in my previous post. For those with a global market this is a great opportunity for you.

For success minded entrepreneurs wanting to keep motivated while working be sure to tune in. If you have an expertise or motivating story to share with a guest interview, please contact .

    What I really like in this story is the testimony to two things: masterminding and having vision. Hosking, from your account, had the vision and with the help of his group he found the methods to achieve his vision.

    What is my vision? What is your vision?

    Thank you Rebecca for telling us about this. Over a million listeners is very impressive. It’s always inspiring for those of us in the middle of our journey to see how someone’s dream is carried to fruitful reality. And I do love the Queen video! No one had a voice like Freddie Mercury.
    Nice to met you,

    Hi Rebecca,

    I really appreciate the idea behind the station – to protect people from scams AND motivate them. That’s a great basis for anything, but no wonder the station has grown exponentially. Thanks for sharing this information. I was unaware until I read about it here.

  • http://www.ButterflyNetworking.com Carla Social Media Mentor

    What an awesome idea. The thought of being able to receive motivation and inspiration any time of the day or nite is such a good thing. There are so many people out there who could use a lift!

    What a great idea, motivational radio! Too much doom and gloom out there in the big, bad world. It is time to create a new and positive culture. What we need now is a motivational t.v. station! I am listening to Deremiah right now! Great stuff. Think I will tune in regularly. Thank you, Rebecca!

    Deremiah is on fire!! yes we are working toward motivational radio as we speak. Motivational Radio can be streamed on mobile now too. There is a huge thirst. People are tired of the doom and gloom and well aware that there are more good news stories going on than bad.

    I think masterminding is gold.

    I am so happy for your great success, Rebecca! What a great way to stay motivated throughout the day! I hardly watch or listen to news any more as it is all so negative. Plus, one minute they say our economy is getting better and we’ve definitely hit bottom… so we’re moving back up. The next day, they report things are worse than they have been in decades and will stay down for years to come. How depressing! People need hope, things to look forward to, to feel alive!

    Thank you Rebecca for sharing and caring!

I am so glad to work with you and call you my friend. We definately have had our challenges but that makes this all the more worthwhile. You have delivered such quality to our show, your passion can be seen. Keep up your great momentum. Talk soon.

    Rebecca,
    I keep hearing more and more about Motivational Radio, so the word of mouth is really spreading. They have a clear intention, set specific goals and seem to be making it happen. This is what we ALL need to do. And thanks for the video, too, always inspiring music.
    Thanks,

    You are so right Deborah and they need to know that they have some power over the outcome.

    Hi Rebecca,

    Wow! That’s incredible news and a great story!

    I can just imagine the excitement each time a goal was achieved and then putting a new one in place that also came to fruition. It’s so nice to hear a story like this where a good person with a good heart decides to share real value, knowledge and motivation with others and it works so well so fast.

    My Congratulations to all. Very well done.

    I’ll be sure to tune in, and spread the news about how others can now host a show at a reasonable rate. Thanks!

    Hey Rebecca,

    This was really motivating for people like myself. People start new ventures everyday and with all of the ups and downs it is AWESOME to see that when you make goals and put in the effort needed to accomplish them that it pays off.

    Hi Rebecca, it is great to hear a success story. It is even better when it comes from you. You deserve the success that seems to be coming your way. Congrats to you and motivational radio.
    It is good to hear you say that they started with just 2 people. It is a great example of how things can grow to impressive proportions, when you focus and believe in your dreams and goals! Going from 2 to over a million listeners is fantastic. I hope you will share more as time goes on.

    Hi Rebecca – What a wonderful concept! We could use something like that here in the States! Either that, or I’m moving to NZ! HA! And the fact that he went from 2 listeners to over a million in such a short time certainly speaks to the need out there! Thanks for sharing!

    Rebecca,
    This is a real testament to the power of vision, teamwork and persistence. So many of us, including myself, get discouraged when we have small numbers of people attending an event, rather than realizing that it almost always begins that way. In fact, that helps us to improve our skills gradually as we develop a bigger and bigger audience.
    Warmly,
    Erica

    I love it Rebecca a station devoted to positive media. I have commented so many times on not watching the news because of the negativity and thought the day would come with positive media coming. It appears like it’s already started. Thanks for sharing that.

    Motivational radio? I love it! I’m a huge success/motivation junkie, so that’s right up my alley for sure. Sounds like it’s a hit with a million people listening in. Hope it sticks around, as everyone needs a little motivation in these tough times.
