LGBT Serbia is planning to emit the program through satellites and some cable networks, according to the technical possibilities.

For now, the radio LGBT Serbia will have only music program, and starting from the mid February up until the end of March they expect more shows of educational, fun, and cultural character.

The first show is supposed to be "Fever show" going live from Melbourne, Australia on February 6.

Rather than just those, the people from the radio plan to have 10 more shows and they will inform the listeners in time.

Listeners will have the chance to join in live free of charge during some shows through Skype, Viber, or cellphone, and they will have a public chat room online.

Moreover, for listeners with slower internet connection, a new stream system is being made.

According to the stream statistics, several hundred people listened to the first live show of the radio which is a huge step for LGBT station.

President of the LGBT Serbia and the coordinator of the project Aleksandar Stričević thinks that this is a huge step in the media freedom, human rights, and the LGBT population in Serbia.

- LGBTIQ community in Serbia wanted to have a trustworthy media, since we only had portals, a magazine, and festivals, but that was not enough, especially for the people who live in smaller communities and cities. We wanted to present something new, a media through which they could inform themselves, educate, and spend time with their friends and relatives. This radio is intended for all residents of Serbia. I am happy that we succeed in this and I am very satisfied with the listeners and the support we get from NGO sector. I am calling everyone to enjoy freely our program, to give their suggestions and proposals, and to take part in creating this media - said Stričević live on LGBT Serbia.
