-As many of you know, our internet radio station KJAH Reggae Radio broadcasts roots music 24/7 and has grown to one of the most popular on the net. HOWEVER! The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 2007 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!) If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help. Take action now if you don't want net radio to become the same homogenized mass marketed stuff you hear on terrestrial radio. Please log onto http://live365.com for more info and to learn how you can help save internet radio!

-For the time being (please read above) KJAH Reggae Radio is running 24/7 playing classic and rare roots reggae as well as exclusive tracks from the Peaks and Valleys Studio. It's free to listen, so check it out while you surf the web: http://live365.com/stations/jahsoldier
