Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the service cost?
The Light is a 24/7/365 service to licensed affiliates. Your station
can use the network 24 hours a day or 4 hours a day, it doesn’t matter,
it’s your choice. The monthly affiliate fee is $350.
2. What equipment do I need to receive the audio? How much does the
equipment cost?
The Light format is distributed using a new Audio over IP solution. You
will need a Barix 500 Exstreamer that this network can provide for you
for only $490. But if you sign up today and you’re one of the first
twenty-five stations that sign up, we will give you a $100 discount for
the first two months of our services, saving you an additional $200
toward your equipment purchase. Additionally you will need a high-speed
internet connection (DSL or cable). We recommend that you keep the
signal isolated from other internet usage at your station and on a
backup battery supply.

is a 3-minute stop-set. At approximately 50 after the hour, there is
another 3 minute stop-set. That’s a total of 10:10.
