As of January 31, 2016 Live365 ceased all operations. The shutting down is largely
a result of actions by the Copyright Royalty Board, which raised rates for net broadcasters while special
lower rates for smaller broadcasters (like DIY Radio) were phased out. With the writing on the wall, Live365
laid off staff and investors pulled out.
Since Live365 shut down we currently do not have a home for DIY Radio. And with the new
royalty rates and the Small Webcasters Agreement not being renewed we have not been able to find an affordable
solution to getting back online. (click here
for more information about the new rates and sign the "Save Net Radio!" petition.)
UPDATE!!! - From the RAIN (Radio And Internet News) website: After being tipped
that the Live365 website showed signs of life, we received this confirmation: "The Live365 assets have
been acquired and we will make an official announcement in the coming weeks. We are still finalizing plans."
Stay tuned.....
DIY RADIO was a punk rock radio show that aired on The Summit WAPS 91.3FM in
Akron, Ohio August 1993 to June 2011. In 2012 we started broadcasting
24/7 on Live365. We were on Live365 until January 31, 2016 when Live365 shut down. DIY Radio's hosts
were "Pete Sake" (Ron), ED (just ED) and Chialla. DIY Radio was available on the Web since 1998 with
the WAPS weekly show being put up to listen to a few days after it aired live on WAPS.
