'''Furocity Radio''', or just '''Furocity''', also known '''WFUR''', is a [[music]] [[W:Internet radio|internet radio show]] based in [[Second Life]] owned and operated by [[furries]].

==History==

Furocity Radio was started in May 2013. The station started off as a strict [[classic rock]] format station known as '''Flux Aura Radio'''. [[DJ Cody]], known as the station manager, and partner at the time, [[DJ Woofy]], known as the owner at the time, started the station with a co-partnership agreement. DJ Woofy Owned the name Flux Aura and the DJ liners at the time and also had the connections to the voice over talents. While DJ Cody was the main funding source, acquiring the stream and the rights on Second Life.

In July, 2013 Flux Aura took an unpleasant turn as a disagreement between DJ Cody and DJ Woofy that ended with DJ Woofy resigning his position with the company, also taking the copyright to the name and all of the previous station identification liners with him.{{clarify}}{{fact}} This forced DJ Cody to take sole ownership of the station and re-brand it as '''Furocity Radio'''. This also forced DJ Cody to reload{{clarify}}{{fact}} all the music servers as access to the music on the server was denied when DJ Woofy resigned. In a quick reaction DJ Cody loaded up several hours of music to his live broadcast software, known as [[SAM broadcaster]], until he could reload the servers to become operational once again.

Many friends and fanswho of the station came to DJ Cody's aid in helping to rebrand the station. [[Skan]], one of the many voice talents used in Furocity's commercials, is credited for coming up with the name Furocity. After a short brainstorming session, many names were thrown around as ideas for a new "furry based rock station". Among the names thrown around, one was "FurRock Radio". After the name was selected, the re-branding began. DJ Cody began re-making station posters and advertisements with help from Second Life's [[GYC]] club owner, [[Kiroja Fluffy]]. Kiroja helped the station with land costs and advertisements to begin creating some "buzz" about the new station "for furries by furries".{{fact}}

Shortly after the re-branding, DJ Cody appointed a new management staff. The staff included DJ Dustin, just a DJ at the time, he was promoted to assistant station manager in charge of advertisement and DJ talents. In August, 2013 [[DJ Foxxy]], also known as [[Dj Allure]], and former owner of the SL rock station [[97 Rock]], joined the staff as the station manager. With a solid management staff in place, the station began to advertise in many clubs and venues in Second Life,{{fact}} as well as searched for top DJ talent to help shoot the station in a new direction.

After Dj Foxxy joined the staff, she suggested that the station branch out into other genres of music such as [[new age rock]]. DJ Cody agreed to branch out not only to new age rock, but also [[metal]], [[alternative]] and [[grunge]].

In October, 2013 DJ Cody appointed a [[Personal Relations]] manager, Tobi Lab, to head up the station's social media sites ([[Facebook]], [[Twitter]], and [[Tumblr]]), as well as to create the real world buzz about the station. DJ Cody also started real-world advertisement after commissioning an advertising image from [[furry artist]] [[Jailbird]]. After Jailbird posted the image on her [[Fur Affinity]] account,{{cn}} the image went almost [[viral]],{{fact}} being seen on all social media sites.{{fact}}
