Free Production Elements/SFX

I am sure this question has been asked before, but I wasn't having much luck doing a search. Our station got our imaging budget cut, so now I'm looking for some production elements and effects to put together some sweepers. Does anyone know where I can find some free stuff? Thanks in advance
 
If your GM is ok with barter (no cash fee, your station agrees to run commercial inventory, usually :60 per day) there are a number of options, depending on format. Joe Kelly from avDeli just launched www.eimagingpro.com , they've got libraries for rock, country, and CHR. For AC there's Launch Control, that service is through Premiere Radio Networks, as is NT Ammo for news/talk. Good luck!
 
While I was poking around the station tonight, I discovered a 30-disc set of imaging effects from the former TM Century that we already bought some time ago. The CDs looked like they had not been touched in years, but they were full of good content. Thanks anyway to all for some great suggestions.
 
Short Bus Radio is really good. It's cheap (minimal barter) and it offers a lot on a weekly basis. It offers sfx, beds, drops and produced sweepers you can drop your calls in, and it gives you just the workparts of the produced sweepers to mix and match with.

It is my understanding that TM Century only did/does barter deals. You better check before using any of the effects you found. It's their intellectual property.
Last thing you want is to receive a Cease & Desist once you've produced a ton of imaging.

Translation: You'd have to do it all over again, WITHOUT the effects.
Another words... back to square one and re-posting this question here.

Sorry if I burst your bubble, but I've been there dude. And it sucks.
