Hello Listeners!

We really need your help. Over the past few years we have really built up our Live365 channels, but also our stand alone independent channels. For example you can now find Celt Rock Radio, Celtic Moon, Celtic Dance Tavern and Highlander Radio all on the web independent of Live365.

So while it has been really nice have lots of free listening slots, there is this thing called costs that is going to prevent us from really expanding any further. There are so many listening options on the internet today, that we want to try and taylor our investment in these channels to where people listen the most.

For example, the cost for our independent (non-live365 channels) is less than $1,000 a year - and provides 400 listener slots. However our Live365 channels provide 185 listener slots yet cost 4 times that amount.

So, if you can let us know your listening preference, we can better gauge how much $$$ we send to Live365. Not say we will stop streaming at Live365, but we may reduce our listener slots over there unless the majority of people listen through Live365.

Thanks again for your help on this poll!

As a good Scot... it is your duty to squeeze that penny 'till it bleeds!

You direct website is great. That's where I'd put my money!

I listen both independent and live365 depending on what device and where I am.

I listen mostly here on the website while I am at work; occasionally I stream through a third-party app on my phone.

Thanks for the great feedback, I think before the end of the year we are going to send out our first survey. Might use survey monkey. We will try and keep it simple.

Aye about saving money!

I listen in a variety of ways, Paul, but I would say do what you need to do to save money! However you put it out, I'll listen!!

Been using Winamp since 2004? Even though they have been having issues I absolutely love it. I can't get it on my phone anymore but it works just fine on my laptop. I am listening to Highlander Radio right now. I have tried several others and find them all so very cumbersome, I don't want commercials, suggestions or likes and dislikes...I just want to listen to the music, thank you very much...

Now I listen via your own website, but I found you on another website.
Wanting to know about your channels and more, I visited over here.
Now I will stay here. Much easier as a member when also using the forum.

But for finding you... I would recomment to stay on other sites as well.
Suggestion(?): YouTube channel with some music and link to your website.
24/7 listening is also possible over there.
