Broadcasting Hours

Lis­ten­ers may have not­ed inter­rup­tions in our broad­cast­ing and a move away from our 24/7 sched­ule, begin­ning in late Octo­ber.  We val­ue our loy­al lis­ten­ers and want to let you know what occurred, and what can be expect­ed mov­ing forward.

In Sep­tem­ber and Octo­ber, a sharp and unex­pect­ed rise in lis­ten­ers sig­nif­i­cant­ly increased our lis­ten­er­ship hours, which would nor­mal­ly be a Good Thing. How­ev­er, as more lis­ten­ing hours means more music licens­ing costs, it increased to a lev­el that was finan­cial­ly unsus­tain­able with our lim­it­ed income, espe­cial­ly as it occurred out of the blue. We took tem­po­rary mea­sures in order to avoid incur­ring addi­tion­al costs, and ulti­mate­ly decid­ed that to remain with­in our bud­get, we would no longer broad­cast on Mon­days and Tues­days for the time being, and focus on air­ing our orig­i­nal series, whose sched­ules remain unchanged.
