Unfortunately the cost to broadcast does not justify the listenership anymore.  However, the playlist is still there, in tact, and even though we don't pay to broadcast anymore, you, the listener, can still purchase the Live365 VIP membership, and you can still access the music stream.  At least Live365 doesn't take it off the air when we cancelled our broadcasting membership.

It's unfortunate that the cost is what it is.  I had a Live365 station around....2000 I think, that specialized in freestyle music.  I had a fair amount of listeners, but couldn't maintain it due to the cost, and had to shut it down.

Either way, it's something to be grateful for!   :)
