[OT] [Altrok] Update #139: New Tracks and Unearthed Classics, As Always...

[hubcity@...]

Folks,

Firstly, the important stuff:

Altrok Radio is at http://www.altrokradio.com

Please remember to tune in whenever you can - every hour you listen turns into more visibility for the station; we show up higher in search listings, and such like that.  And if you'd like to help us keep the stream running, check out the advertisers if they appeal to you; your interest actually helps fund us.

By now you've noticed that Altrok Radio has commercials.  You probably also realize that's a necessary evil - the commercials keep the cost of running the web station manageable.

But what you may not realize (primarily because you probably stop paying attention the moment the commercials come on) is that there's also a subscription service that lets you hear Altrok Radio without commercials.  That's your benefit, it's true, but there's another benefit - you help to directly support the station when you listen as a VIP member.  Essentially, every minute you listen translates into money to keep the lights lit at Altrok Radio.

There's no need to dig into your pocket change if you haven't got it to spare - to me you're a listener first and foremost.  But if you do feel that ridding yourself of some filthy lucre would somehow make you a better person in some way, who am I to object?

Here's the link to sign up (and I get a kickback if you use it, by the way):
