Island Block Radio is a Pacific Contemporary digital station based in Los Angeles, CA. In 2015, a partnership was formed with media mogul, Scott “DJ Skee” Keeney to launch the Island Block station on the Dash Radio platform which to date is the world’s largest all original digital radio network. Island Block Radio stands as one of the only mainstream media outlets for the global Pacific Islander populace.
Reaching over 5 million listeners worldwide, Island Block Radio became the only mainstream ethnic media digital outlet in the continental U.S. to represent the Pacific Islander community at large through its pacific contemporary and Islanesian (Polynesian, Micronesian and Melanesian) indigenous music as well as its original curated content by real DJs and social influencers. Figures like The Rock, Dinah Jane, J Boog, Fiji, Ali Campbell, The Green, Alex Aiono, Troy Polamalu, Alessia Cara, and Common Kings have all blessed the Island Block Radio airwaves since its inception.
A new normal was born out of the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 and Island Block Radio adapting to the current climate transitioned out of its partnership with DASH and launched its own independent media platform, Island Block Network (IBN). The mission of Island Block Network is to serve Pacific Islander Americans, the pan Oceanian community, and consumers of Pacific culture globally by informing, empowering and entertaining.
