Mission
Viva is known for the depth of its programming, because each DJ is hand selected for the strength of their musical selections. Shows cover genres like dance music, indie rock, pop, rap and jazz.
The station was founded in June 2006. It has 60,000 unique listeners a month. Viva was created in order to give DJs, musicians, art and fashion personalities a place to showcase their favorite music.
Its slogan is "Bringing radio back on track!" and standing up for "the gays"
Contributors put together new shows for the station weekly. Viva has 57 contributors, many of them from Los Angeles and New York City. The site is currently at capacity for contributors, but submissions are welcome for future consideration. Shows are typically one hour long but may also run two hours.
Viva has a studio in Park Slope, Brooklyn for conducting live shows and interviews.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“I am succeeding quite well in my work and the future looks well. What special mission is God preparing me for? Cutting off all earthly ties and isolating me as it were.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
