FORCING OUT GRASSROOTS COMMUNITY INTERNET RADIO - aka RIP MOUNTAINCHILL (kinda)

There are a few streaming radio stations I hold dear which one could listen to
on various platforms and in this case it was itunes which hosted the address to
one of my most often listened to stations out of Telluride Colorado USA.

Hence the nod to the mountains which are the culture of the area in the title.

And it's chill down and uptempo electronica, nu-latin, drum and bass,
trip hop and ambient with actual real live hosts who segue and rap about the weather.

The Funk brothers (literally their last names) and a few others run the show
and since the start of 2016 the online airwaves suddenly went dead (not to mention
a few other stations) and it was out of the blue and quite sad.


Now finding out the following from the mountainchill's own blog,
it is all about new policies, taxes , red tape.

The same type of deal that has eroded terrestrial radio to a commercial
wasteland of sameness.

Please visit the following website, or any other website which supports
a new idea "Small Webcaster crisis (fund?) " ... to offset this ridiculous
tax.
