Obviously, it takes money to keep a radio station on the air. Costs include the broadcasting package at Live365, website hosting, and local ISP service, studio upkeep, upgrades, etc.
Although Wind Band FM is not a non-profit organization (it is what some would
call a "hobbyist" station), I cannot sell airtime for advertising revenue;
my broadcasting contract with Live365 prohibits it.
And why would I want to broadcast
advertisements anyway? My goal is to provide listeners with the best listening experience. It's bad enough
that sometimes you may have to listen to ads from Live365. I don't want to make things worse. Consequently,
I anticipate
losing
money every month, but I'm okay with that.
There are three ways that you can help keep
Wind Band FM on the air. The first is to become a
VIP member of Live365 (which also removes Live365's ads
and allows unlimited listening even when stations are full).
Wind Band FM receives a bonus for every new VIP member that it recruits, as well as rewards for VIP listening time. This
literally only amounts to pennies, however.
The second way to help Wind Band FM is through purchasing a Live365
Gift Certificate for the station. When you buy us a Live365 Gift
Certificate, 100% of your purchase will be used to pay broadcasting
costs. Click on the button below to give Wind Band FM a Live365 Gift
Certificate (use the fourth option on the new page and choose the
dollar amount that you wish to donate).
The
third and far better way to support
Wind Band FM is through a direct donation. With a direct donation, you can ensure that 100% of your money goes toward station costs.
You may also designate your donation to go toward the purchase of
CDs or digital downloads, which will help increase our library
holdings and help provide a more diverse listening experience for
all. To donate via PayPal, please use the button below.
You may also send direct donations to:
