What is Ahoy Indie Media?

Ahoy is an independent streaming platform that hosts independent creative communities. We're dedicated to amplifying audiences with authentic, independent content. With a platform that is homemade and a little indie itself.

Independent Music →

Curated playlists and exclusive releases from New Haven musicians and beyond

Local Films & Podcasts →

We record in-house podcasts and video productions. We showcase local films and show off some music videos from some haven hometown heroes.

Live Events →

We host live shows around New Haven - mostly music and poetry at this point - but have big plans!

Live TV →

With some clever code, we were able to build a live broadcast in the spirit of the old boob tube and with the hope of bringing folks together at the same time - with one another - in different places. We got four channels so far!

24/7 Radio →

Live continuous streams of indie music and local content, always on. It is also a owl subway surfer type game.

Ad-Free Experience →

Pure content, zero interruptions, no creepy data collection feeding the dragon. We make money, at the moment, through your support.

The "No Cuts" Promise

Most platforms take a cut of creator earnings and that's lame. We designed our platform so the creator's share remains untouched. The way artists get paid is through you and your "boosts", that of which, 100% goes to the artist.
