Iceberg Radio is a Canadian Internet radio service, which provides more than 100 channels of streaming audio. Founded in 1997 by the late John Walters and DJ Hedley Jones as the Virtual Canadian Broadcast Network, it was one of the first major ventures into large-scale Internet audio broadcasting. In 1999, it became Iceberg Media.com Inc.
The service is currently owned and operated by Standard Broadcasting's Standard Interactive subsidiary. It is one of two Standard properties, along with an interest in Sirius Canada, to remain under Standard ownership, following the October 2007 sale of its radio and television stations to Astral Media.
Standard also programs an adult album alternative channel on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 95, branded as Iceberg 95.
