Donate: Lend A Helping Hand
Donate: We Need Your Help!
If you listen to one or more of our Amped FM radio stations then we ask that you lend a helping hand. Amped FM now has over 500,000 listeners per month. The amount of bandwidth needed to run our stations is huge. For the past 2.5 years we have been more then happy to flip the bill when needed. In most cases it was needed every month to some degree. Our goal is to raise enough funds to pay for our bandwidth all year. If we reach this goal we can continue to run our stations with little interuptions, commercials, ect. Please note we run very few commercials or ads. Most stations need those ads to make money or they are funded by donations from you. Every dollar helps keep the Amped FM radio network up and running. We do understand things are tight these days. Just remember even $1 gets us closer to our goal. If you would like to help us out please choose one of the donate options on this page.
Thank you for helping
Amped FM Crew
Donate: If You Do Nothing
Someone asked this question and we thought it was great question. If we do not hit our goal we will do what we can with what we got. No donation will be wasted. The goal is to pay for a year of bandwidth upfront. When we purchase bandwidth a year out we receive huge discounts thus cutting our operating costs. If we do not reach our goal all funds will be used to keep us up and running. There are ways we can cut back if our goal is not reached.
Drop our station quality below 128 kbps: This will drop the sound quality. If you enjoy our stations sound quality it may be lost due to cut backs. Anything less then 128 kbps will drop the sound quality. Bass quality drops first and then mids and highs start dropping.
Start adding commercials: We hear it time and time again.. "you guys play all music" or "we love your station cause you play all music" but that may change. We may load up all of the stations with more ads and commercials.
We may drop some stations if things get really bad: This is something we really do not want to do. We have listeners on all of our stations and those listeners love Amped FM. We would love to avoid this option at all costs.
We may have to start cutting staff members: This is another option we really do not want to talk about. We have a limited staff to begin with so dropping anyone would greatly reduce updates to our site, music additions, and many other daily tasks at Amped FM.
We may have to start dropping slots: Slots is the amount of listeners that can tune in at one time. If we drop this it may get very difficult for you to tune in your favorite Amped FM station. You may be forced to wait hours or you may have to listen to someone else. We do not want to do this but it is an option on the table if no one helps us in our time of need.
