Yes, you read that correctly. As of today, September 17th, Swing City Radio is now Commercial Free. Now you can listen to "Your Big Band and Swing Favorites from the 1930's, 40's and Today!" without commercial interruptions.
So, why did Swing City Radio choose to take this step?
Ronnaldo explains:
"This was a very tough decision to make. Swing City Radio was offsetting many of it's expenses by including commercial advertising provided by our radio hosting provider. So why did I decide to discontinue an income stream? Here are just a few of the reasons:
1. First and foremost, I felt that removing these ads will improve the sound of the station. I was unable to control the volume of the commercials. These ads would pipe into the programming at a much louder volume than most of the songs on the station. This made the commercial interruption a much bigger interruption than it needed to be.
2. I felt the commercial offerings themselves didn't reflect the interests of the Swing City Radio Audience.
3. Political ads started to appear in the ads being served. Day in and day out, people are exposed to endless politics. I want Swing City Radio to be YOUR escape from all of that.
Moving forward, the station will reclaim this lost revenue through Show Sponsorship, Listener Sponsorship and Donations. Those of you that have made donations to Swing City Radio in the past, I sincerely thank you. If you'd like to make a donation in the future, you can do so here: Make a Donation to Swing City Radio via Paypal. Your donations and sponsorship will keep Swing City Radio Commercial Free.
Thank you so much for listening to the station and I hope this change greatly improves YOUR listening experience."
