Mark says: Is this station going to run ads or are going to try to be like a non-com “Community” station, probably with underwriting announcements?
jmpstar says: According to an article published in The Taos News, “He (one of the owners of Taos Mesa Brewing) said in an interview that he sees the station as a hybrid between commercial radio and public radio. Instead of having commercials, he and his partners hope to create a system of ‘sponsored’ radio, meaning local businesses or organizations can buy blocks of music or chunks of time on the station. The DJ would give shout-outs to the sponsor throughout the music block.”
Destructor says: I like the unique trailer idea, though I hope it’s secure, for the station’s sake.
Neil Griffin says: WDVX in Clinton, TN was housed in a trailer for a number of years at an RV park. It moved into a permanent facility a few years back. Fun station to listen to when you are in the Knoxville area.
