When I began this station in
late 2003, the maximum allowed listeners was just 10. As it became more
popular, I moved streaming out of the house to a dedicated stream service with a maximum
of 30 listeners in May 2004. By September 2004 we had to move that to
250 as we first got listed in iTunes, then 350 in May 2005 at which
point we began allowing donations, and so on till today at 2,000.
ABN Old-time Radio has been 100% listener-sponsored since 2005!
By listeners taking care of the costs it has certainly kept
this station alive for the longterm instead of it being an expensive
hobby I would have had to give up. I would like to say that ABN OTR is
commercial-free but in fact there are those antique commercials in the
shows. I'm not making anything on those :-) Please consider a donation
to help keep the free-will support model a success.
Over the years donations have covered streaming
costs, legal fees in 2010 which won us the freedom to continue to play old-time
radio, a new computer in 2010, and the expenses of acquiring, storing and digitizing thousands
of reel-to-reel tapes starting in 2018.
For 2021 the goal is $6,000.00. So far we received $1,201.00 which covers us to Mar 15, 2021. Exceeding that will encourage me to do that much more :)
I update the total contributed for the year and add the location it was
received from (if given) as I see each donation. Starting in 2017, far fewer
locations are being provided since PayPal no longer requires it
so this list will get shorter unless you provide me your location.
If you'd like to make a direct donation, here are three methods:
1. I've
setup BlueSnap, which is usually for products, using $5.00 increments,
so that you can make a donation with as many increments as you like
without having a PayPal account
by credit card through BlueSnap
2. If you
prefer to donate through PayPal, you can choose the amount you want to
donate
3. Or Send a Check to:
