Additional bandwidth is available at $400 per month for each additonal 100-person AQH.
For most formats, Slipstream has 10 to 30 different personalizable channels already available — and can build additional customized channels upon request. Customized local and regional genres (e.g., polka for the Milwaukee market or beach music for the Norfolk market) can be also added upon request. (Surcharge may apply.)
Royalty costs are your obligation: The recent NAB deal with SoundExchange works out to about 2.25¢ per listener hour, or about $1,400 per month for a station with an AQH of 100 listeners. Fortunately, this may not be a deal-breaker, as we can show you how to achieve breakeven or even profitability nonetheless. (To see our proposed ad sales approach, see our "Sales Kit "here.
