How does that make them revenue to pay the bills? If you or your friends aren't buying products or services from advertisers (assuming they have sponsors), or donating, how do you expect it to survive?
Translation: there is no answer because nothing you say pays their bills.
but you said you spent $8000 based on a sponsor? now youre saying it had nothing to do with the ad? Im confused
That's as good as it's going to get.
You could tell me about it every day and twice on Sundays and I still wouldn't give it a listen. That kind of music is just too damn old for me, and I'm nearly 70.
Not compared to the heart-pounding roller coaster ride of an experience that listening to Serenade must bring, I'd imagine.
Hearing aids? Craftmatic adjustable bed? A new shower stall with grab bars?
Come on! I am an early-born boomer and have none of those. I just can't ride my bike the 10 miles or so a day I used to.
And telling people about it will not produce income for the operator of the stream
I tried listening to it yesterday but only was able to take about 5 minutes, since I started streaming in the middle of a jazz type song by some British orchestra I’d never heard of. Once Rosemary Clooney started, I shut it off. I’m probably one of the youngest listeners they’ve had, and I’m almost 40. All that type of music just reminds me of watching Lawrence Welk with my grandparents.
I'm not the one that needs to be satisfied. I'm just the one telling you the reality of streaming. Between hourly consecutive streaming charges and Sound Exchange music royalty charges, having even a hundred thousand listeners that are only listeners is a dead end. Just in a different form of the term...
Rosemary Clooney was popular in the 1950s, my parents' generation. Lawrence Welk appealed to their parents (my grandparents and their contemporaries), The Doughboy Generation.
Congratulations
Thank you!
Yes. In fact, in researching music for stations, people like you are actually called "outliers" or some similar term indicating that their taste has no parallel with the much more narrow majority preferences. In the event we find an outlier in music testing, we just delete their responses.
I'm a total statistics nerd. When I was involved in music research decades ago, we calculated the annual percentage of 'outliers' that had been jettisoned from the control group the prior year. Surprisingly, that percentage didn't vary too much from year to year.
