New Year, New Sound: What’s Coming to Our Town Radio in 2026

The wait is almost over. As we approach the doorstep of 2026, the team at Our Town Radio (OTR) has been working tirelessly behind the scenes on a massive rebuilding phase. We’ve been upgrading our tech, refining our sound, and sharpening our mission to bring you the best independent music from Pennsylvania and across the globe.

2026 isn’t just another year for us—it’s the year we take local airwaves to the next level.

More Than Just Music: What’s New?

We’ve listened to your feedback, and this year, we’re expanding our lineup to bring you closer to the artists you love. Here is a sneak peek at what’s hitting the airwaves:

• Expanded Live Shows: More hours of live broadcasting featuring voices you know and love.

• In-Depth Interviews: We’re moving beyond the “now playing” screen with both live on-air interviews and exclusive web interviews to get you the stories behind the songs.

• Fresh Podcasts: We’re launching a suite of new podcasts covering everything from the PA music scene to deep dives into independent subcultures.

• Live DJ Sets: Our DJs are back in the booth, spinning curated tracks and—most importantly—taking your requests in real-time.

Keeping It Independent

Our core mission hasn’t changed: We push independent artists. Pennsylvania has one of the richest, most diverse music scenes in the country, and we take pride in being the megaphone for creators who deserve to be heard. Whether it’s Philly soul, Pittsburgh punk, or a hidden gem from a small-town garage, if it’s independent, it has a home at OTR.

Join the Journey

We want to thank our listeners for sticking with us during this rebuilding phase. Your support is what drives us to keep the transmitter humming and the streams flowing.
