We launched on the 1st April 2018. Several people thought it was an April Fools gag, but we're still going 365 days later!\n\nMechanical Music Radio is FREE to listen to, and always will be. I don\u2019t want to charge listening subscriptions, as I want Mechanical Music to reach new audiences and bring happiness to all.\n\nIn our first year, i\u2019ve chosen not to charge a penny to any business, individual or event wanting exposure. I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to be heard.\n\nLaunching the station has been an extremely expensive time for me. Now, a year on, i\u2019m having to renew all the licences for the various computer software, plus PRS, PPL and other broadcasting licences I need to transmit.\n\nIf you appreciate the work Mechanical Music Radio does, please give us a donation as a little birthday present. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. www.mechanicalmusicradio.com.\n\nFinally please keep spreading the word about us. There is no other place to hear this type of music 24 hours a day, and by providing this as a free service, I hope it will be of great benefit not just to the businesses and societies, but also to the future of the Mechanical Music scene.\n\nThank you for your ongoing support. Here\u2019s to another year of great music.\n\nJames Dundon.
