About The FLOW and The Campaign
Our Story
We are The Flow, a innovative radio station that functions like a FM or satellite station in a sense that our radio host and DJs are in real time (live on the air) daily delivering the music and talk content that you have been asking for, but thats where the similarities to FM and Satellite radio ends. One of our slogans is We do not play the same songs every hour as you can truly interact with the host several ways by texting, instant messaging and of course, over the phone. Our station is a place where listeners are welcome to join in the conversation live in person as well as attend our many in station events (Listening parties, Wine and Cheese events, live acoustic sets, CD and Book Signings) Our station management team is comprised of young industry pioneers and successful veterans with a passion to perfectly blend and deliver education and entertainment programming to you. This campaign is designed to create the necessary buzz in order to be accepted by the industry, banking institutions and advertisers us as a bonafide network.
The Impact
This brand of radio will offer job opportunities for hundreds while seriously upgrading the content that is being delivered to us. People who are aspiring to be radio host, disc jockeys, news anchors and engineers now have a real chance to broaden their educational and professional training skills as well as become recognized by instrumental radio industry executives. By employing diverse experience levels, listeners will become more exposed to diverse music genres and artist that are on high demand including but not limited to special request and inquiry of hot news topics and special events.
This campaign will allow us to amplify our message and deliver a resilient broadcast to you. Our goal is to increase our listening audience to become compatible to our FM and satellite stations. Your contributions will help allow us to participate in the bidding processes that increase broadcasting capabilities.
While we have the capabilities of delivering the sound quality and broadcast technology as our mainstream counterparts, we have been developing this concept for over 7 years and we are ready to deliver this wonderful product to every city across the nation. This movement is so very important as it will force other networks to deliver responsible programming. A station like this is imperative during these times as broadcasting accountability is limited and precautionary measures are ignored leaving unrestricted language content to be aired with disregard to listeners. Radio used to be inspiring and invigorating and its time that we have that again.
What We Need & What You Get
We are budget masters and we have worked wonders with the broadcast equipment that we have but it is very old, outdated or we simply do not have enough. We need $5,000 to purchase radio station broadcasting equipment and promotional materials in order to establish a strong market presence dominated by the big FM stations (the ones that have caused you to tune out). We want to be able to cover the events and happenings (up to the minute) that you find important. This means that we need to have several systems to be in different places at the same time. These are the bare necessities that will allow us to deliver a FM and major television network caliber broadcast. It costs well over $100,000 a month to operate a small independent FM in Washington DC and over $400,000 for a major station. Our overhead cost are much lower (micro staff and studio) which allows us to save money. In the event that we do not make our goal of we will use the revenue generated from this campaign to purchase the most important items needed to carry on this wonderful movement. Here is a list of things we need to compete with major stations and progress. You will be able to see live (real time) broadcasts in the morning, afternoon and evening just like you hear on major radio stations but with better quality hosts and content. The artist that you know and love, will be interviewed and featured on the network. You will be responsible for changing the face of radio. Here is a list of the bare necessities:
