[edit] Persian music 24/7
Radio Javan was started in October 2004 by a group of young Persians from the Atlanta and Washington, D.C. communities with the goal of providing around-the-clock Persian music to listeners all over the world. Radio Javan has grown to be the largest provider of Persian music online.[citation needed]
Radio Javan plays a diverse selection of Persian music including both recent hit songs and old classics. Listeners can also request songs online. Currently, Radio Javan is exclusively an Internet-based radio station, meaning that it is separate from traditional FM/AM broadcasts and satellite radio. The word "javan" is a transliteration of the Farsi word for "young".
[edit] Community
Radio Javan's online community was created in Summer 2007, in order to assist the web site users to create their own online profiles and groups, similar to ones in MySpace, Facebook or Orkut. Each weekly show also has its own group on the online community.
