Radio Artifact
Northside’s Urban Artifact brewery has its own AM frequency (1660 on your dial) radiating exclusively local jams. It also streams online, in case you aren’t in the taproom.

INHAILER
An online streaming station created in the wake of the WNKU sale, INHAILER hews to that same “college radio” blend of national alternative rock alongside local up-and-comers.
