Pandora's Choking on Advertising. And It's Getting Worse...

Listeners will have to choose to either be the product for sale and sit through invasive advertising or support commercial-free stations with donations. Which will DMPulse listeners choose?

We believe listeners will financially-support internet radio if the station is open and transparent about its costs, and laser-focused on delivering great music.  Wall Street runs Pandora now, and the results are more advertising.  This article highlights the problems Pandora is experiencing.  They are trying to serve two masters: audience and advertisers.  In that battle, advertisers ALWAYS win and the audience loses.

Not so on DMPulse!  As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, D.M. Pulse Media's mission is simply to expose our audience to great new artists on a station free of commercial advertising.  And we only have to pay our bills, not meet the expectations of Wall Street.  Give DMPulse a listen, and hear the future of internet radio--listener supported!

Spring 2012 Fundraising Campaign

DMPulse brings you great new music every day. No commercials, no outside corporate influences, just great new music.

Like everyone, we have bills to pay to make it happen. We know you don't listen to DMPulse for the fundraising announcements! But, we aren't afraid to be honest with you about our financial needs to continue to bring you great music. We hold fundraising campaigns in the spring and fall, and today, we launch our Spring Fundraising Campaign.

Our goal is to raise $1,800 in the next few weeks, helping us pay our streaming costs and software licenses for the rest of 2012. Whether you are a new listener, or have been listening for years, we need your support during our Fundraising Campaign.

Eight months ago, DMPulse embarked on a new adventure. Our goal was to make DMPulse an entirely listener-supported internet radio station. During our Fall fundraiser in November, DMPulse listeners like you stepped up! Will you support these great artists who deserve to be heard? Do you appreciate our station being focused on great music, not corporate profits and the bottom-line? If so, make a tax-deductible donation today!

We have several ways to say thank you!

Day Sponsors:  All gifts $30 and above will receive a Day Sponsorship - your very own day of DMPulse programming dedicated to you. Your name will be announced on-air throughout the day in honor of your contribution, and you will enjoy hearing your favorite artists played during our day as our way of saying thank you!


DMPulse t-shirts:  The original design. There are only 25 shirts left, so don't wait! Sport your DMPulse shirt with pride!

DMPulse water bottle:  An attractive aluminum water bottle, perfect for summer outdoor activities.  Holds 24 ounces of your favorite beverage, and looks sharp doing it!  See a sample of the water bottle here!

DMPulse Music Team:  Exclusive access "backstage" to participate in the music selection process.  Help Jay pick the music for the station. Be a member of the music team!
