Health Talk Network Celebrates 5 Year Anniversary
It may be hard for many people to remember that back in 2006 the online world was a very different place than it is today. There were, of course, no iPads or smart phones and most people had to rely on sporadically located Wi-Fi spots in order to have any mobility - and even that meant lugging around a heavy laptop to the corner coffee store.
In the past five years there have been incredible advancements in technology and now broadband is extremely mobile. It is the mobility of broadband that has allowed for the explosion in the growth of Internet Radio to some 180 million monthly listeners.
With essentially no funding whatsoever, a couple of seasoned Chicago broadcasters with a vision, who happen to be father and son, along their webmaster nephew/cousin, pioneered a 24/7 Internet Talk Radio platform with a simple mission: to disseminate vital health and medical information to health conscious consumers in spoken word form. Actually Talk Radio form.
Working with medical media superstar, Dr. Michael Roizen, MD (partner to Dr. Oz), as well as seasoned health broadcasters Dr. Derrick DeSilva, MD and Melanie Cole, MS - Tim Disa, Sr., Tim Disa, Jr. and David Earley developed talk shows specializing in health, wellness, fitness, and medicine as well as the digital platform that houses the audio content.
With passion and focus the group used its knowledge of the broadcasting industry, particularly Talk Radio, to grow its product steadily.
Along the way they honed the craft and differences of Internet Radio and made the changes and discoveries that allowed for their survival. Two years ago they caught the attention of a Florida based health products and services company and formed a new partnership.
Now, five years after launching the first live programming on HealthRadio.net, the company is celebrating five long, hard - but always exciting - years in businesses.
HealthRadio.net is really TWO services. Any time, day or night, people can go to www.HealthRadio.net and click the Listen Now button prominently displayed on the home page. That's the equivalent to flipping on the radio. People will tap into the real time audio stream, perhaps in mid-sentence, and hear whatever health talk show happens to be scheduled at that time.
People may access the On-Demand Library of health, wellness, fitness and medical information programming. HealthRadio.net has over 75 Health Channels covering the gamut of health conditions and diseases to hear the show segments that they desire.
HealthRadio.net has partnered with prestigious medical organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M)... as well as well known health websites like RightHealth.com and RealAge.com; in order to produce credible Talk Radio programming with the top experts in their respective fields as program guests.
New shows have been developed, or are in development, to cover information of interest to the disabled community, a new Pet HealthRadio show, and many other shows about heart health, diabetes, weight loss and fitness - and many more soon to be shows.
HealthRadio.net also provides its expertise and services to hospitals, clinics and other health and medical entities and develops customized digital talk radio platforms for the clients' websites featuring the client doctors and staff members as expert guests.
The company has just launched a new Newsletter, has hired a Director of Operations, a Social Media Director and has added to its sales staff. And they soon will make a major partnership announcement.
"We are positioned for incredible growth," said HealthRadio.net founder, Tim Disa, Sr. He added, "with the exponential growth phenomenon of Internet Radio listening and the mobility of the 'Net (broadband everywhere) linked with the constant hunger for online health and medical information in this New Media world with everyone connected - we are doing the right thing at the right place at the right time... and if we were any more excited we would have to ask our new Plastic Surgery Show host to surgically remove the smiles from our faces!"
