@davedelaney We never managed to get more than $20/mo in stable donation income. Then when the gear started to break, we had no choice.

[The Machine @MachineFM]

Now, this is the end—but who knows what the future holds. It's your job to keep the music alive. Live, breathe, share, and support it.

[The Machine @MachineFM]

Donations from this month will be refunded, and everything will slowly go silent. Thanks for all of the good memories.

[The Machine @MachineFM]

No decision like this is easy, but today, @nicholaswyoung made the call to close everything down on Dec 1.

[The Machine @MachineFM]

The live stream is quiet for the first time in a year. The defective sound board is in a box. Our servers are preparing to shut down.

[The Machine @MachineFM]

@ChristinaKeelan Welcome aboard, friend! How did you run across us?

[The Machine @MachineFM]

We don't ask for much — just a couple hundred bucks per month to keep everything moving along. Push us up from $20! https://t.co/kGeRY085UZ

It's not that we want to quit, but finances are forcing us to. Donations are lagging behind what we need to go on. https://t.co/sz2Y1BHf4X

We haven't said much lately, mostly because there isn't much to say. Besides the fact that we're on track to go off the air on Dec 31.

We've been here for 2+ years. Your support matters. Unless you donate, we'll be shutting down on Dec 31. Help us. https://t.co/0NVdrzjFfF

We need your help to stay on the air. No joke, we really do. https://t.co/0NVdrzjFfF

@geraniumkate Thank you for the RT.

[The Machine @MachineFM]

@geraniumkate That's amazing.

[The Machine @MachineFM]

Independent radio, for the music and stories, is expensive to produce. Help us stay on the air. Thank you. https://t.co/kGeRY0pHjz

[The Machine @MachineFM]

Seriously, if even a small portion of you, our followers have $5 a month, it would help so much. https://t.co/kGeRY0pHjz
