Support internet radio now!!

If you are like me, and love internet radio, then now is the time to act. Some of you have heard that those greedy swine also know as the music industry by forcing stations to pay really high royalty fees.

Most of these stations that will be killed are small mom@ pop type stations that barely make a profit as it is. Write you elected officials NOW. Before it is too late!!

I am a huge fan of internet radio and classical music stations that share their broadcasts across the internet. About a year and a half ago (I think) I got mad because the classical stations that I loved were making their streams Windows Media Player only. Well, one such station has reversed its policy and for anyone that enjoys classical music, I ask you to visit http://www.wqxr.com. Another of my favorite stations is in Austin, Texas and can be found at http://www.kmfa.org.
