BusRadio was an American company established in 2004, with the goal of providing several services to school buses, their drivers and passengers.
Other features on the radio unit include GPS, driver panic buttons connected to local emergency services, and internal and external PA systems.
[2] The Mat and Lucia show and the differing styles of audio programming were also intended to reduce rowdy behavior among students.
The playlist was a mix of pop, rock, country music and urban contemporary songs, edited for the appropriate age groups.
BusRadio's music standards claim to be more restrictive than traditional broadcast radio, in which they eliminate all inappropriate lyrics and subject matter to comply with their strict age-appropriateness guidelines.
In May 2009, the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood requested Congress to examine the music and advertisements featured on BusRadio for their appropriateness and effect on students and bus drivers.
