What should I expect to pay for hosting? And how do I make a profit?

Our hosting plan pricing are based upon listener hours and programming archive.  Our most basic package is $300/month and includes 15,000 listener hours and 10 days of programming archive.  As your listenership grows you would upgrade your package.

About generating revenue, many non-commercial stations would look for underwriters. Commercial stations often sell spots. You are provided a website as part of your Backbone service. This is a place where you can place banner ads for sponsors, underwriters and advertisers. You have the freedom to structure your operations as you like.
