No ad breaks, no paywall, no one behind it but you. Streamless FM sounds exactly the same whether you give or not. If it's part of your day, here are the ways to keep it there.
Three ways in
A$5 a month · cancel any time
A few dollars a month, every month. It's the steady money that pays the music licences before anything else, and it's what lets the station plan past next week.
Become a supporterOpens Ko-fi. Use the same email as your Streamless account.
Our thank-you: extra song requests every day for as long as you stay, your name on the supporters list, and a thank-you from the host on air when you join. Only if you choose to be public.
Any amount · no commitment
Buy the station a coffee. Nothing renews.
Our thank-you: the host thanks you by name on air, and the same extra song requests for a month. Tick private and nobody ever knows.
Monthly · founding rate
Put your app, name, social media handle or small business on a Streamless FM show. The host credits you on every regular break while it's on air.
Opening soonA credit, not a message. Australian sponsors only, nothing political, and we write the wording. It never changes what music plays. Includes everything a supporter gets.
What it sounds like
“…and a big thank-you to Jo, who chipped in this week to keep us on the air. You're a legend.”
· supporters and tips, once, in the host's own words
Name only, ever. Your message and the amount are never read out or shown anywhere. A monthly supporter is thanked when they join, not every month.
“You're with Evening Classics, brought to you this month by Bec Makes Things.”
· show sponsors, an example
Recently chipped in
Everyone here ticked “make it public” and was thanked by name on air. Names only, never amounts, and the list covers the last month. Give privately and you will never appear here.
Where it goes
Playing records properly means music licences: the biggest bill on the desk, and the one that pays the people who made the songs.
Radio is data. Every listener, every minute, is bandwidth out the door. More of you tuning in is a lovely problem, and this is what it costs.
One small server keeps the whole station upright: the stream, the song picker, the brains behind the mic.
Nothing is locked away, and the station sounds exactly the same whether you give or not. The extra requests are a thank-you, not a product. There's no salary in here: every dollar goes to a bill.
