Re: [lug] Justin's mserv/icecast

In some ways that does make sense why they would think it would take away
from the interest in it's broadcast signal. Doesn't KSUA seek funding
outside of just UAF with local advertisers? I think the board may be
worried a little about loosing part of their target audience that
they advertise to currently. I don't like commercials but would it
be possible to set it up where there were commercials every couple songs.
The board may see that as  more advantageous and may not need much
convincing beyond that. Anyways just my thoughts, I don't want to see a
nice service go away.

Thanks,

Walker

  I know you believe you understood what you think

  you heard is not what I meant.
