SomaFM returns!

Thanks to everyone's help in writing to congress and encouraging them to
pass HR5469. About 10 days ago, it passed in both the House and Senate.

So this has cleared the way for SomaFM to return to the air!

This weekend, we're launching a new web site, and have now put most of
our core stations back on the air: Groove Salad, Secret Agent, Drone
Zone, Indie Pop Rocks! and Beat Blender. You can get to them from

http://somafm.com

More channels will follow as we rebuild our infrastructure.

We'll still need to come up with about $6500 (hopefully less, the final
rates are not agreed to, but we know that it shouldn't be more than
$6500 for previous years, and $2000 or 12% of our revenues (donations)
going forward. It's still a lot of money for what over the air radio
broadcasters get for free, but we can work with this, and stay in the
air.

It's all those letters, faxes and phone calls you made that got this law
passed and enabled us to get back on the air! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! We
couldn't have done this without you.

IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK!!!!!

We also want to say thanks to Tom and the crew at Shoutcast.com for
providing us additional bandwidth for Groove Salad, which now has a
TON of capacity. http://shoutcast.com/directory/?s=Groove%20Salad:

SomaFM Loves you!

Hey, maybe there is a god after all. If so, they seem to be on my side.
