Radio99 is one of the latest music channels but ironically you cannot listen to it on the Radio. We believe that this is Sri Lanka’s first pure online based music channel. When you listen to it, it seems like just another Radio station with mostly back to back music. It is accessible through www.radio99.lk or through the android app.
On the web, you are able to view the top 10 songs, and fan comments. It also provides an interface to request your favourite songs. The android app is more limited with only playback options available.
So why have an ‘online only’ music channel. Best guess is that they wanted to test run the station for a few months before registering for a high priced radio frequency. And also with the increasing internet penetration in Sri Lanka, they would be able to make their own netizen fan base. But then again, with most radio stations being available online, Radio99 will have to come up with some new features if they are to come through as an online ‘Radio’ Station.
nice article . thanks lot. Keep it up

Melo rahak ne… it is like just another FM station with lot of brainless DJs. Save your bandwidth. Do not go there.
