Its mission has been to revive the spirit of “good old radio” while combining it with the possibilities of modern technology.

Radio producers also use high-tech PCs and tablets to interact live with listeners, creating a seamless, interactive experience. NGradio stands out as an “alternative” and “young-in-spirit” web radio station. It was among the pioneers in integrating visual broadcasting alongside audio, and it consistently ranks among the most listened-to online radio stations in Greece and internationally. Its cosmopolitan character is strengthened by the power of the internet and modern media, allowing Greeks everywhere in the world to tune in and feel at home. With more than 36 active radio producers and a presence across 40+ social media platforms, NGradio has cultivated a loyal community of listeners who follow and support its initiatives both online and offline. The station’s innovative spirit also led to external collaborations. In 2012, the show Special Music Express was broadcast for a year on RealFM 97.8 under the name The Angels of Real, every Saturday and Sunday at midnight. NGradio’s excellence in web development has been recognized globally. In 2015, the station was awarded the Best Web Radio in Europe and the Best Radio Website at the prestigious WebAwards, organized by the Web Marketing Association (WMA).
