Internet Insider is the world's fastest growing radio show about the Internet or computing. It started in 1994 as KDKA Radio Online. (According to the host, the name didn't include Internet because at the time, nobody was sure that the Internet would really take off.) It features a team of experts called the Insiders who cover various Internet and computing topics from eCommerce to web browsing, Windows to Macintosh, UNIX to you-know-what. Regular features include The Internet Frustration Buster™, Website of the Week, Insider Tips™, and interviews with industry visionaries. The radio show originates from the studios of KDKA Radio, the first commercial radio station in the United States.
