We appreciate every single listener and our listeners are our friends. We all do try to bring the absolute best of independent music to our listeners , and the DJS/ONAIRHOSTS there have years of listening and experience , and are passionately devoted to independent music. Each show is owned and programmed by the individual host and themusic they play is of their choosing . Frequently, people are shocked and amazed at the quality of music and the greatness of the songs you hear on Cygnus , and we like that too! As of this moment; Cygnus Radio is not in danger of going off the air because of royalty payments. As an independent music station, we have agreements with the artists we play regarding royalty payments , and their benefit is the promotion they receive . However, this ruling if carried thru, will affect so many stations and even the makers of software for internet radio streaming, that it will indeed effect all of us , indie or not so I thank you again for your concern and for getting the information out there . Warm Regards, Love and HUGS Swannie Thank you so very much for listening to Cygnus Radio! We appreciate every single listener and our listeners are our friends.

Carol hit it right on the head. We at Cygnus only play INDIE because CORPORATE has already made their millions. Unfortunately, it's CORPORATE (d1ck)heads that make the most of it. The MUSICIANS hardly get a dime even if they ARE signed. What I'm finding is that MAJOR LABEL artists are quickly RE-finding their roots. They are UNsinging themselves and are returning to the INDIE side of life. That makes it great for those of us that love to compare "signed" to "unsigned" in certain situations. Another thing that CORPORATE is doing, is creating "sub-labels", some of which are categorized as "INDIE". Some artists not willing to lose the label are switching to this "sub-label" setup. As far as the RIAA is concerned, Please note American Lesley Jane's incredible song: "The RIAA Sucks a Big Weenie". Those of you that are fans of STR1KER'S Wolf Den know this song QUITE well..... That's all I'm going to say on this matter. To those of you that support your local music - WAY TO GO and THANK YOU, because without you, IIII could not do what I do professionally, and I wouldn't be able to bring kickasskiller tuneage to your ears in my broadcasts.
