About

In mid/late 2005, Mike along with his friend Phil decided to launch a podcast-based talk show titled “EDGE FM” in January 2006. They started to discuss how they would do the show, what they would talk about and what the overall format of the show would be like. They eventually settled upon a “free talk” format in which topics would vary and not be bound to a single format like traditional talk radio.

Throughout the rest of 2006 and most of 2007, Mike and Phil keep it going with (almost) weekly EDGE FM shows. A few times they took long breaks from doing shows, being busy with school and work and other things. Near the end of 2007 during yet another hiatus, Mike realizes it’s time for a change concerning EDGE FM.

After the failure of a related podcast radio station named Army Radio, a friend of Mike’s named Sal approaches Mike wondering if he could join the EDGE FM show and help to revive it. Sal’s podcast partner had left their show due to other commitments in life which needed taking care of… and Sal still wanted to do a show. So Mike approached Phil about stepping down from the EDGE FM show and taking a break from the show… Phil obliged, being busy with a new job and other events in his life as well. Phil is currently doing just fine and is still loosely aligned with the EDGE FM show to this day. Mike and Sal begin doing live shows together in late November 2007 and the EDGE FM show rolls right along into 2008 and begins on an unstable platform, but little did Mike & Sal know that things were about to change.

In April 2008, EDGE FM re-debuted as a talk/rock Internet station with live talk shows most nights of the week and a rock variety format the rest of the time and Mike & Sal’s show was renamed. Just a few months later in August, the rock music portion of the format was dropped due to Mike not wanting to pay royalties for playing music. At this time, EDGE FM became a full-time 24/7 talk station with live shows and replays the remainder of the day. This format still carries on until this day.

During 2010, a major influx of new talk programming joined EDGE FM. Shows such as ‘Brainstu Radio’, ‘Clutch and Wiggle’ and many others joined the existing EDGE FM roster of ‘Filler Radio’ and ‘Mike & Sal’. Affiliates were also created with various shows also simulcasting or rebroadcasting their content on various other stations and networks. This trend has remained steady into 2011.
