With pain in the heart we decided to put an end to Fear.FM. Unfortunately the donation meter has been standing still for a few weeks which means we did not succeed to reach our goal. It is even not enough to continue with one stream because for that we would need at least 70% of donations.

Next to the donation action we have been searching for sponsors actively, though this did not make any difference. We did not succeed to find a sponsor and/or partner who could support Fear.FM financially. We did get some small offers, but they were not enough to cover the costs of Fear.FM

Financial obligations:

With the outcome above we can conclude that a concept such as Fear.FM has no chance at existence in a legal way. The financial component is just as important, many people underestimate what it costs for a radio station as Fear.FM to keep it in the air unfortunately. Mainly the costs for music rights has helped us to make this decision. The costs for this are extremely high so an "alternative" station as Fear.FM has no right to exist. Next to that it is questionable if the artists that we play will get even 1 cent of this money.

And what now?

The website will turn black, not a good sign, Fear.FM dies. Everyone that was / is involved to Fear.FM will have to find a new place. The listener will have to start looking for alternatives.
Most of the donations will be used to close Fear.FM (current contracts etc.). Furthermore we want, together with you, provide a more proper closure. On December 30, 2009 with "Fear.FM Farewell" we will do what we do best, online radio.
We also want to thanks EVERYBODY for the support and confidence in Fear.FM! Because it can not be said often enough, we are what we are thanks to you!

Fear.FM Farewell

With "Fear.FM Farewell" to thanks all our loyal listeners, and not to forget the donators, for all the support we have had in recent years. Especially for you we will turn the Ekskuus in Valkenswaard to a radio studio where all of you can be.

To make our last live broadcast successful we have invited all artists that have Fear.FM at heart. The following artists will make the last LIVE broadcast pop (if the extreme winter temperatures are not in the way):

B-Front
Darkraver
DizZorder
Dozer
Heatzone
Josh & Wesz
Low-E
Pavo
The Pitcher
Zany

Perhaps more artists will be added in the following week because there will a surprise act. The show will be hosted by no less than the 2-Dangerous-ones, Dozer and DizZorder. We hope to see you all at the last LIVE radio show on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 in the Ekskuus in Valkenswaard. The entrance will be completely free but watch out because full = full.

We would like to thanks you on behalf of the Fear.FM Crew for all the support we received in recent years. Without you Fear.FM had never been as Fear.FM is today. Furthermore, we wish you a Merry Christmas and the best for 2010.

Thank you!
