Just Checkin’ In

I hope everything is cool on your piece of terra firma. We’re still kickin’ it non-stop here at Neuron Radio, and just wanted to express sincere thanks for listening. Internet radio has been “goin’ through somethin’ for the past year or so, in the form of higher royalty rates, higher than satellite radio, and MUCH higher than AM/FM (which does not pay performance royalties). However, we’re not hatin’ on our terrestrial fellow broadcasters – we just want rates that compensate artists for their work and are fair to all who promote their music through airplay, not just a few.

Neuron Radio is still doin’ it around the clock (and calendar), and our automated request system is alive & kickin’, too! Be extra sure to tune in on Tuesdays and Thursdays - those are “Twofer” days, which means that you’ll hear 2 tracks by the same artist(s) back to back all day long! As if that weren’t enough (isn’t that cheesey-sounding? Does it feel like I’m about to sell you a knife that’ll cut through titanium?), all requests on Tuesdays and Thursdays are Twofers!

One last thing – Now is a good time to become a Live365 VIP Preferred Member. Due to the nagging royalty issue, Live365 has found it neccessary to increase fees to broadcasters. At the same time, the number of slots each station now has (depending on broadcast package purchased) fewer slots for Free listeners. What does this mean to you? Well, if you’re a Free listener, it means that you may have more trouble getting into your favorite stations. On the other hand, no station is ever full to VIP Members – VIP’s can always tune into any station in the Live365 network, full or not. If you do decide to sign up for a membership, please do so only through the green button on this page. That way, your favorite broadcaster (Me) will receive a portion of the fee to be applied to my cost of running the station.

That’s all for now – Holla at your girl. Peace.
