Listener Robert:

↳ B R M @5:19
My understanding (which may be wrong) is that pre-marathon one-time donations from the beginning of the calendar year get tacked onto the total immediately. However, I don't think it would be unfairly low to add only SFL monthly receipts to that point, and unfairly high to add a projection of the SFL amount for the year. What you need to anticipate is the percentage of SFL who would revoke their subscription over the remaining months, multiply that by the SFL receipts, and add that. I think that's realistic.

...if there were a way to see what's currently on every Stream @ once on the HomePage (whereas now you have to click on each Stream link to see each one) - that alone would be helpful ? No idea of course how challenging a computer programming challenge that would be... I imagine some spiffy graphic like a Multiband Radio Dial... Would that be a reasonable use of HomePage space ? After all - why have ever more Programs on more Streams if people don't even see them ?
& other Functions like the Song Search ...even the Program Schedules as they are now - are a little obscure to find ? These are not major critiques of course - just ideas...

For years I've had an idea -- even a design -- for one on US 206 northbound to tell people to switch from 91.1 to 90.1 "over the hill". I haven't had the initiative to do a kickstarter and I'd need WFMU's permission to use their intellectual property.

I run a non-profit in an NJ town with multiple $1,000,000 licenses and we worked with the City Council to get a liquor license in progress for our 500 seat movie theater. It is a lift and you need a lawyer, but the license should only cost $2500 a year. That said, we have not been granted the liuecsne yet and have been working on it for a year. Monty Hall would 100% qualify, but you need the city ordinance and the license approved, etc. A process.

yes, But like I said, Governor Murphy created a new license that is ONLY for non-profit theaters, so it non-transferrable and is NOT an asset like the other licenses so it doesn't de-value existing license owners assets. All of the license owners in our town are fine with us getting a license... law only passed in 2020 and then COVID hit and no one applied, but you guys would qualify. 👍
