About CLIRadio

Pure Nostalgia – 60’s, 70’s, & 80’s Classics With A Twist

CLIRadio.com (Classic Long Island Radio) is an independent, commercial-free internet radio station dedicated to the music that defined an era—and the deeper tracks that defined a generation.
This is Album-Oriented Rock (AOR) at its best: a carefully curated blend of iconic hits, forgotten favorites, deep LP cuts, and the occasional surprise—songs you know, songs you forgot, and songs you may be hearing for the first time.
Classic Rock – Commercial Free
With a library of 11,000+ tracks, CLIRadio delivers nonstop music no ads, no filler—just great music, played with intention.
Curated With Passion
Every song you hear on CLIRadio is hand-selected. If it doesn't fit the era, the sound, or the soul of the station—it doesn't make the playlist.

Why 'Classic Long Island' Radio?

Growing up on Long Island, New York, the radio stations of the 60s and 70s WBAB, WNEW, WABC, WNBC were the soundtrack of my youth. Listen to CLIRadio for just 20 minutes and you’ll feel it. It’s not just music. it’s a time machine.

My Radio Journey

My name is David D. Doerrier, and radio has been part of my life for
decades. I began my broadcasting career in the early 1980s as a weekend
DJ at K57 AM while stationed on Guam with the U.S. Air Force.
That experience launched a 12-year radio journey that took me to stations in California, Guam (again), Texas, and Georgia.

More Than a Playlist

CLIRadio is the station I always wanted to create—one that honors the craft of radio and the power of music to connect memories, moments, and people.
CLIRadio shares the finest Rock, Jazz, some Country, R&B, and Blues from the 60s, 70s, and 80s—drawing from a massive collection of LP tracks, deep cuts, and forgotten classics alongside familiar artists and remarkable discoveries. This station exists for listeners who still believe radio should feel personal, thoughtful, and alive.
Curated With Passion (and a Critical Ear) Every song you hear on CLIRadio is hand-selected. If it doesn’t fit the era, the sound, or the soul of the station—it doesn’t make the playlist. Anyone can program the hits. Finding the hidden gems, the overlooked tracks, and the deep cuts buried in albums and archives takes time, research, and genuine passion. That’s what makes CLIRadio different.
