Maloney began his radio programming career at one of the
nation's best-known student-operated commercial radio stations,
WPGU/Champaign-Urbana. He eventually went on to program KFMZ/Columbia, MO,
flipping the heritage AOR station to Alternative, and bringing its 12+ ratings
above a 10 share before joining RAIN in the summer of 2000 as a journalist.
As for AccuRadio, it evolved out of a series of RAIN
articles in 2000 through 2002 intended to show broadcasters how they could
build a multichannel, personalizable Internet radio service. Beginning with
three channels of music -- "Swingin' Pop Standards," "Modern
Rock Classics," and "Piano Jazz" -- AccuRadio now offers over
975 personalizable channels of rock, pop, classical, jazz, country, R&B,
Broadway, and more, targeting P35-64 listeners.
Maloney is responsible for supervising the programming of all 975 channels, working with a team of in-house music programmers and outside programming consultants.
