Support DMPulse

Why support DMPulse?

Your dollars allow us to pay our royalty payment to SoundExchange and purchase the music you hear on DMPulse! 

Soundexchange is the organization that gathers performance royalty fees from internet radio and pays the artists we play.  Did you know, each month we submit a report to Soundexchange detailing each song we play on DMPulse? Soundexchange aggregates our report with everyone else to determine each individual artist's share of the performance royalty payments. So, every time you hear a song on DMPulse, the artist is receiving a royalty payment! In 2010, DMPulse paid $2,000 to Soundexchange, and we are set to make another $2,000 payment in January. Help DMPulse support the artists we play by making a donation today!

DMPulse Kickstarter project!

Kickstarting begins now!

Our project to launch a commercial-free audio stream you can access without a subscription to Live365 is live! During the next 30 days, we will attempt to raise $2,000 to launch this new stream in 2011.

Recall over the past year that you have help guide and shape our path forward, from continuing the station at this time last year, to our organization as a non-profit. This next project is another step forward for DMPulse. Based on listener's interest in having a DMPulse stream free of advertising, we are launching this project via Kickstarter.com.

Please view the video, read through the project description and rewards. I hope you will considering supporting this project, and take advantage of the rewards we are offering our backers.

Please note, funding for Kickstarter projects is all-or-nothing. Backers credit cards are only charged if and when the $2,000 goal is reached. Thank you for supporting the station, being such loyal listeners and helping us continue to discover great music together!

Let's get this party Kickstarted!

New Listener Survey! Kickstarter Project Rewards!

We are launching a project on Kickstarter.com to create a commercial-free audio stream you can access without a subscription to Live365! 

In exchange for backing the project, you can choose to select specific rewards. Rewards are items or unique experiences that inspire support for the project. Here's where you come in...help us determine what rewards to offer and at what dollar amount we should offer the reward!

Click Here to Take the Survey!

It is important for these rewards to be fun!  Based on previous listeners surveys, I think we have several creative reward ideas that allow you to be actively involved with the station.  For example:

 

Pay for a Day: choose 24 songs from our music library to be played during your day, with your backing being recognized on-air throughout the day.

Buy the Hour: program an entire hour of DMPulse, choosing all songs played that hour from our music library of more than 1,600 songs!  Imagine having control of one entire hour of our radio station!

Music Meeting:  attend our virtual music meeting where you will be able to hear songs being considered for airplay.  Have you ever heard of a radio station opening the meeting where the music decisions are made to listeners?  DMPulse is breaking new ground here!  Have access to new music before it is heard on the station, and share your input!

In Your Voice: record yourself saying "This is (your name) from (your city) and you are listening to DMPulse!" We'll then put your voice on-air in rotation for one year, so you will be able to hear yourself on the station. Imagine, slaving away at your desk at work, and hearing your own voice say "This is Bob from Duluth, and you are listening to DMPulse!"
