Dirtyradio NOT going away for a while...

[Scott Warner]

So I've been running dirtyradio for quite some time now and I need a bit of a break. On Friday I'll be putting together a special Best Of/Farewell Show in the morning - details are forthcoming. After Friday we will no longer be broadcasting.

Thanks everyone for your support of the station throughout the years. It's been fun.

hey scott, i am curious what it takes to run Dirty Radio on a daily basis? i'm curious if this is something that could be run by others. is it the work that goes into it, the money required or the proposed legislation attempting to fleece net radio?

how long do you spend per day/per week maintaining dirty radio?

[Scott Warner]

It's not really the money or impending legislation - it's my time. Dirtyradio has been handpicked by me for the duration it's been up and I'm not really interested in continuing on in some form that I don't control. It boils down to this: in my day job I make a lot of compromises - in my spare time projects I make none.

At the moment I don't have the time to sort through the music like I'd like and I don't have the time to handle the logistics, administration and expansion of the radio. So, I'm going to turn it off for a while.

That really is a shame because I'm sure there are capable people here willing to gove their time for the community. i'll miss it.

Any chance it might resurface from time to time to broadcast a lemonworld jam or will those be moving over to the underworldlive site?

Scott,

Amoeba Music and various other music outlets thanks you for helping me to spend 1000's of dollars in their stores based on what I heard on Dirtyradio. I really am in your debt for helping me to find music that I genuinely enjoy. I sincerely hope that you will be back someday, until then, a million thanks and good luck with all your endeavors.

p.s.- any suggestions for an online radio station to help me kick my Dirtyradio fix?
