IT'S OUR 17TH ANNIVERSARY

IT'S OUR 17TH ANNIVERSARY

In 3 years on the radio in L.A. we developed this new approach to the songs of the "Great American Songbook." We were convinced that as more and more broadcast stations playing this music went off the air, there was a huge opportunity to entertain a significant audience, people passionate about these great songs and the artists that sing them. So after leaving the L.A. airwaves in February, 2006, we relaunched on the Internet as Martini in the Morning on September 6th, 2006.

Our month long anniversary celebration is all about you and the music. Already, emails are pouring in, folks all over the USA and literally around the world are writing in to tell us how they discovered Martini in the Morning, and when they started listening. They're sending in photos as they wear their MITM "Loungeware," and enjoy their favorite beverages in MITM martini glasses and coffee mugs. Tell us YOUR Martini story, how and when you discovered MITM. Shoot a video telling us your story, send pictures illustrating your Martini time. (email listen@martiniinthemorning.com)

Longtime listeners, friends o' Martini Joe and Carol Bonavolent from Beaumont, CA sent their story and photos.

"Here's a couple for you. Us on one of our cruises and one of the Classic MITM Martini Glasses!

Started listening to you when on air in LA and the old Mighty 690 in San Diego. Used to have you on the PC when I started work in the morning usually before 5am! When we lost you to Mexican Radio I had severe withdrawal symptoms so one day for the heck of it I Googled MITM and Brad Chambers and low and behold the rest is history.

Thanks for the 17 years on the internet."

17 Years is Too Long to Struggle



In celebration of our 17th anniversary, we've re-activated the GoFundMe campaign we started earlier this year. After 17 years, you'd think some of the financial agita would be over. When we re-joined TuneIn, we were betting that the ad-supported stream would generate enough income to cover the increase in royalties. The jury is still out on that. The GoFundMe income will help us advertise, to grow the audience and ad revenue we need to cover royalties and other expenses. Additionally, with TuneIn, we're required to be licensed in each country where we're available for listening. The UK alone is around US$700 annually. The GoFundMe funds will help us cover those licensing fees.

Click here to pitch in.

Whew!

So many of the emails we've been receiving come from folks who've been listening since we launched September 6th, 2006. Many of you told us you've been listening since the old radio station in L.A. Thank you for letting us entertain you with The Greatest Songs Ever Written. Finally, I hope you'll join the conversation in our Zoom room tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM PT.

Cheers!
