| 236637 | 2004-05-14 09:49:00 | Apparently everything up in the air regarding its future. Run by "Real Groovy Records". I would be devastated if it ceased on air !! Misty :_| :O :_| :( :O X-( |

| 236639 | 2004-05-14 13:14:00 | Oh no ! ! ! Only station I listen to ! To lose it would mean that instead of forgetting how to tune the radios, I would forget how to turn them on. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 236640 | 2004-05-14 14:04:00 | But it's run by The Radio Network. Apparently, it's because they don't really get any profits from it - despite running biggie stations like ZM, Newstalk ZB, and Classic Hits. |

| 236641 | 2004-05-16 10:10:00 | You know - I'd be willing to pay a subscription to keep it afloat -say $30-$40 a year to be conservative !! I don't know how that would work with a free to air - however it's what you think important that counts - so how about it - is this a possibility or not ? Misty ?:| |

| 236642 | 2004-05-22 00:50:00 | You could offer them some words of support here (coolblue.co.nz) which may help rub some balm on the wounds if their jobs are under threat. If everyone asks two more friends to do the same, it will rapidly mount up to - err - several. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 236643 | 2004-05-23 00:43:00 | I sent a message to Cool Blue suggesting the possibility of a subscription and got this reply - >>Thanks Mr & Mrs Misty (or Abelard & Heloise or similar)> Many others have suggested something similar. I think the real issue is that the current cost of securing a frequency in Auckland is about $20M for a 20 year lease from the Government. To make that sort of investment pay, you need to have an income of well over a million dollars a year. That's around 50,000 people paying $30 without factoring in any other costs for salaries etc. Regards Brian Brian Barclay +64(27) 495-8697 :( ***************** >>Good idea re support for the staff R2X1 (incidentally are you a relative of R2D2 ? ;\ ) --- I must try that !
