Radio TowerMetrofarm.com on the AmishBy borges, Section Radio Tower
Metrofarm covers ag issues from a different perspective and this week it is on the Amish. Not a topic covered very often and certainly pertinent to our condition here in the Kickapoo. Their press release follows with links to the program....
While we pull our plows with giant diesel-burning tractors, they pull theirs with teams of grass-eating horses. Speeding by, we look out the window and think, `How quaint.' But somewhere down the road we pause to ask.... Birthday BashBy borges, Section Radio Tower
Here it is this Saturday...
Web Radio ReprieveBy borges, Section Radio Tower
If you enjoy streaming radio there is some temporary good news. Business Week provides an article that outlines the negotiations happening between the royalty collectors and web streamers.
Hopefully the web can remain open and free for all to enjoy. As one person commented, if they ask too much in royalty payments this streaming will move offshore--then there will be no payments at all. World-wide Wild West of the web... Internet Radio at RiskBy borges, Section Radio Tower
Here's_the_latest_from_Broadcast_Law blog that seems to have the whole story on the "controversy over the rise in the royalties for all those who are providing an Internet radio service, whether they be over-the-air broadcasters streaming their signals on the Internet or pure webcasters whose stations are only available on the web." This Broadcast Law Blog post links to all sorts of background on the subject that might have our local RadioDriftless...adrift.
