Has anyone noticed KAHM stopped streaming? Was it a cost cutting decision? Site states they stopped in September.
KAHM lost it's founder and general manager, Lew Silverstein, in January 2015. Long time announcer, Veronica Tyler left on an extended leave of absence in July and returned just yesterday, November 6th. She has been with KAHM for nearly 25 years. The station stopped streaming on September 14th. It was reported that another streaming site had stopped their BM offering. Those listeners switched to KAHM.INFO, causing the server and site to crash, it has been reported. Finally, a new station, licensed to Bagdad, AZ, about 70 miles West of Prescott, at 101.7 fm has required KAHM translator, K269EE, also at 101.7, to transmit in a more NorthEasterly direction, away from Bagdad, AZ. The music continues instrumentally based with some newer and older vocals interspersed to keep things interesting.
Unfortunately, many of the past online listeners will have no
way to know this, unless they check back to the official KAHM website.
Beginning February 1st, 2016 KAHM, FM 102.1, will indeed be available
online by subscription. The cost will be $20.00 per month, payable by credit card. Unfortunately, many of the past online listeners will have no way to know this, unless they check back to the official KAHM website.
What are they thinking?
I'd gladly pay the $20.00 if I lived outside the range of the Mingus Mtn transmitter.
Whether this is enough to warrant continuation of the KAHM online stream is anybody's
guess.....
