DI.FM (formerly known as Digitally Imported) is an Internet radio broadcaster consisting of over 90 channels dedicated to electronic music, such as house, trance, techno, drum and bass, and dubstep.[1][2] DI.FM broadcasts handpicked selections consisting of classic, new and up-and-coming hits, as well as weekly and monthly mixed shows from professional DJs. It was founded in December 1999 as a hobby project by Ari Shohat in his Binghamton University dorm room and was one of the first Internet radio stations.[3][4][5][6] It has often been listed as one of the top internet radio stations.[7][8][9][10][11]
During the 2000s, DI.FM participated in a number of protests against high royalty fees for Internet radio.[12][13][14] In July 2009, Digitally Imported, radioIO and AccuRadio reached a revenue-sharing deal with royalty collector SoundExchange securing music rights.[15][16][17] It also licenses out its own proprietary streaming platform to power other internet radio sites such as RadioTunes (formerly sky.fm[18]),[19] JazzRadio,[20] RockRadio,[21] ClassicalRadio[22] and ZenRadio.[23]
