After nine years at Good People Brewing Co., beloved local radio station Birmingham Mountain Radio<\/a> (BMR) is moving to a brand-new studio at Lakeview Marina. We met with the BMR team to learn more about their move. <\/p>\n

Local radio is moving to Lakeview Marina<\/p>\n

\"(LakeviewThe new Lakeview Marina Music Park at Lakeview Marina. (Lakeview Marina)<\/p>\n

Lakeview Marina, the multi-tenant office and retail redevelopment in Birmingham\u2019s Lakeview district, has continued to evolve as a hub for local music since it first opened its doors in 2025. The new development is home to local record store Seasick Records and the High Dive HiFi Lounge, and recently added a new outdoor music venue dubbed Lakeview Marina Music Park<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Lakeview Marina caught the eye of the folks at Birmingham Mountain Radio. <\/p>\n

\u201cLong story short, we\u2019ve wanted to be close Seasick Records for a long, long time. We had a wonderful conversation with Bart Stephens, and discovered that there was an opportunity here for the next step for Birmingham Mountain Radio.<\/p>\n

Jeff Clanton, General Manager\/Partner, Birmingham Mountain Radio<\/p>\n

Founded by Jeff Clanton, Geno Pearson and Jeremy Harper in 2010, BMR is a beloved local radio station broadcasting over the air on\u00a0FM 107.3. Known for its \u201cadult album alternative\u201d format, BMR highlights both national and local\/regional music through its long-running radio shows like The Morning Blend with Will and Reg.<\/p>\n

For the past nine years, BMR has broadcast out of a studio space at Good People Brewing Co. in Parkside. Now, the station is gearing up for a big move.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we moved to Good People in 2016, it was the right time for us in our journey. Now it\u2019s the right time for us to move to Lakeview Marina. We\u2019re just happy to be doing what we do after 16 years!<\/p>\n

Good People has been unbelievably kind to us and we absolutely adore them; we\u2019ll continue to partner with Good People for the rest of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

What you can expect at the future home of Birmingham Mountain Radio<\/p>\n

Aside from convenient access to haircuts at the next-door Birmingham Classic Cuts, the BMR team is most excited about exploring new opportunities with its future neighbors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen bands come through town, they can do record signings at Seasick, play live on the air with us and then perform a show at the Lakeview Marina Music Park\u2014all in one stop. It\u2019s a dream come true, not just for us, but for record labels and bands as well.\u201d <\/p>\n

Will Lochamy, Radio Host on The Morning Blend with Will and Reg, Birmingham Mountain Radio<\/p>\n

Although BMR\u2019s future studio will be slightly smaller than its current space at Good People Brewing Co., the new studio will have glass walls opening up into Lakeview Marina that allow visitors to watch the broadcast live. That\u2019s not all\u2014when BMR has bands play live in the studio, they\u2019ll be able to open the doors to that big hallway and allow listeners to become a live studio audience for the performance.<\/p>\n

BMR\u2019s future studio at Lakeview Marina will be built out over the next couple of months, with an anticipated opening in late Summer 2026. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe started BMR because we love this city and we want to make it a better place. The night that they hosted their first show at Lakeviw Marina Music Park, I sent Bart a text that said, \u2018You made Birmingham a better place tonight. Everything in this development makes the city a better place to live in.’\u201d<\/p>\n
