Happy 7th Birthday Radio Free Peterborough!

birthday.jpgSeven years – somehow we’re still on the air. My love letter to my beloved home town continues. This was a bit of a holding pattern year, but the downloads of our RFP and Trent Radio apps continue to be strong. It’s very rewarding (although not financially) to know that people from around the world are being exposed to our local Peterborough culture for free. Nothing makes me happier than to log in and see that there are active listeners from around the globe rocking out to Peterborough music, spoken word and audio art. Thanks to everyone for your kind words and emotional support. We're not going anywhere any time soon - so stay tuned.

For those of you who are newcomers to the RFP experience, we are a 100% volunteer project with a total operating budget of $0. I pay for all of the expenses for RFP out of my own rather shallow pockets and do all the server maintenance, software maintenance, website maintenance, accounts management and catalogue management myself without a penny from anyone. I get help from the kind folks at Trent Radio with new material and troubleshooting. If you want to show your support for RFP, we’re always happy to accept a donation of any size – donations > $50 will get a tax receipt. If you’re short on cash, we’d love it if you would print out our poster, photocopy it and put it up around town (legal postering only please)
to keep RFP in the public eye.

Here’s to a happy and healthy year 8 for all of you out there in radio land.
