One is safe, the other is about to get deleted by a company called Radionomy if I don't get my average listener hours up. There is only about a day to get this done, or maybe all weekend at the most. So I need to ask a favor of you. You can even do this while playing games since it won't interfere. The station I need to save is called Country Girl Radio. Now before you click off thinking "country music isn't my thing," hear me out because you don't actually have to listen if you don't want to. The station's website is http://www.countrygirlradio.com At the top of the page is an embedded music player with a Play button on the left side. It looks like this: All you have to do is click the play button, and once the music starts, you can either listen, or mute the page. Muting works best in Firefox because you can just click the speaker icon on the tab to toggle mute. In Chrome, you get the speaker icon to let you know what tab is playing audio, but clicking it doesn't do anything. Instead, you can right-click the tab and there's a mute option on the pop-up menu. I would appreciate it if you would just park your browser on Country Girl Radio and play it constantly throughout the weekend. Please check it now and again to make sure it's still playing. That's it. That's all you have to do to save this station. Why should I do this? Why should I even give a shit? (optional read) Because the American music industry is trying it's level best to completely kill off Internet radio. As of January 1 2016, music royalty rates went through the roof for Internet broadcasters. Having thousands of independent online broadcasters is like herding cats in their minds. They would rather have to deal with only a few (iTunes, Google Play Music, Amazon, Spotify, maybe Pandora) because it's easier to manage just those few. Plus, they play what the industry wants them to play. And when online broadcasters die, YOU have lost another source of music discovery. Your only choice will be what the industry spoon-feeds you. And in the meantime, independent artists also loose one of the few platforms they have to be heard at all. So when you do this favor for me, you're actually voting for choice, diversity, and discovery for YOU and for EVERYONE. So why aren't you making the numbers? Do you suck or something? Nope. Country Girl Radio is awesome! Problem is that Radionomy (who acts as our broadcast antenna to the Internet) is feeling the crushing weight of the music industry's demands for higher royalties. So in response, they stopped paying US-based stations a revenue share on ads, pulled all their stations from TuneIn Radio, and for the most part iTunes Radio, too, and geo-blocked entire countries so if you live in one of them, you can't even tune in at all. But at the same time they tell all their affiliated stations, like mine, "You must reach a prescribed minimum average listener hours per day by a certain date or we will delete your station off of our service." It's a real rock and a hard place for me. I was making the numbers, but then they did all the shit I just mentioned, and my numbers plummeted. Now I'm coming up on the magic date, and I'm so close to the magic number I can taste it, but weekends are hell on the numbers and I MUST get through this weekend with strong numbers, or that's it. *poof* Gone. It is by no means a slam dunk right now. It's a fucking white-knuckle, nail-biter of a race to the finish line! Please don't let Country Girl Radio die, and more importantly, please don't let your choice die. Thank you! I'll answer any questions. Ask away.

Not a country fan. Totally understand codpiece. Interesting side note, I never identified as a country music fan either. Didn't really identify as a country music hater, either. I just didn't have a solid opinion one way or the other. But one thing I do know is that, whereas rock bands once filled stadiums, now it's mainly just the country acts filling them. So I sourced all the music for Country Girl Radio and flipped the switch, sat back, and it didn't take long for me to think, "Damn! Contemporary country is absolutely awesome!" So now I have an opinion. Still, I know it's not for everyone. And I really THANK YOU for helping! Mule and Cooper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

And actually, any html5 compatible browser (so like all of them by now) will play this link directly without going through a player at all. http://listen.radionomy.com/countrygirlradio XjCrAzY and Cooper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
