For those of us of a certain age, our collective childhood was defined by television and media consumption. From Saturday morning cartoons to After School Specials, sitcoms, characters, and half hour dramas are, for better or worse, some of the most instantly recognizable and easily recalled childhood and adolescent memories. And, whether we're aware of it or not, the soundtracks to these memories are often just as memorable as the shows themselves--and sometimes even more so. It's not that much of a shock, then, to find a whole smorgasborg of radio stations devoted exclusively to kids music. You're obviously not the only one who derives some ineffable sense of pleasure from hearing the songs of your past, and flipping through the aural photo album of your musical existence. So if you're looking to take a trip down memory lane, check out the top five kids music stations, all available in the Kids genre in the SHOUTCast directory.
Top 5 Kids Music Radio Stations
5) WebKids Hits
One of the WebKids radio family, WebKids Hits is where you'd wanna go for all the best known songs from kid's television shows and movies alike. Of course, they'll all be in Portuguese. But the youthful spirit of the playlists will still be more evident than ever.
Where WebKids Hits is the party child of the WebKids Brazilian family, WebKids Estorinhas is the soft spoken, introspective middle child. With a full line up of children's stories and fairy tales, it's what you might wanna put on when you're too tired to tell your child a bed time story... or if you're trying to teach him Portuguese.
Kinderwebradio, as one might guess, is based in Germany. What better place to go for kids music than the region where Grimm's Fairy Tales first originated? Germany is to child folklore what Yankee Stadium is to baseball.
As we wind our way around the globe, we come to France, and Radio Junior. Here you'll find all the best anime and cartoons music, along with traditional seasonal fare to keep your petit enfant enthralled for hours.
Truth be told, Subsonic's Disney stations dominate the SHOUTCast Kids' charts. But is that really that much of a surprise? No offense to Brazil, Germany and France, but is there anywhere else on Earth so youthful as Disneyland? You'll find all the staples, all the songs you grew up with, and the same ones your kids are now growing up with, even today.
