All Independent Radio has been part of the school for over 10 years. Station founder Len Mailloux came up with a way that students could get hands-on training and at the same time be heard around the world. All Independent Radio plays an amazing variety of every genre of music, from every continent. The station is located at The New England Institute of Art and is run entirely by students.

Through the years, management teams have developed in order to keep the station operating. Students hold positions in programming, news, music, public relations, promotions, production, operations, and band relations. These positions give students the opportunity to witness how a radio station is really run. All students, faculty, and staff at the school are welcome to join the radio station staff as an on-air personality or to work behind the scenes.

The goal of the station is to promote talented artists who are unheard on commercial radio. Web-based radio is consistently becoming the way people experience new music, and around the globe All Independent Radio is creating a worldwide fan base for independent artists, as well as a variety of new shows featuring news, sports, comedy, oldies, and world music. The general manager and faculty advisor is Ken Cmar, who has over 20 years of experience in the music industry, combined with over 10 years of teaching at The New England Institute of Art. AIRadio is a member of IBS, the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System, which has awarded prizes to the station for Best Overall Station (Bronze) and a Golden Mic for best Production. www.neialive.com/ is now available on iTunes and iPhones.
