Night Vision Classical Radio's Future

Night vision Classical is now in it's third year with many new listeners from around the world. The platform at our radio host site has many soundtrack stations (the main genre that we are listed in), and we tend to share many of our dedicated listeners with some of the better stations.

Beginning in 2010 we began our donation drive, where listeners can use Paypal to send donations  for the purpose of helping to support us (we are an independent station, much like PBS or Public Radio) so that we may keep our playlists fresh with new content for our listeners pleasure. It is now the middle of the year, and we only received $5.00 for the year.

Bad economy? Perhaps. But We have seen people donate to less entertaining venues even in bad times. After all, our donations start at only a dollar.

Night Vision Classical is one station that provides music to help broaden the mind, and relax, and soothe the weary soul. The modern classical pieces have been carefully selected to help introduce listeners to classical music in general (many of whom never listened to classical before), and many have stated a new found appreciation for the music. The combining of these pieces with selected film score and ambient new age music creates a sort of mixed bag of highly enjoyable music. Each film score (no raucous, action driven epic music here)and new age (no transcendental meditation stuff, but carefully selected pieces from select artists) lends beauty to the whole broadcast.

Searching for music for the broadcast is the hardest part. If we can no longer afford to shop for music, then we fail. And while the broadcast is still going on, we have to add tracks (to make up the time slot) that we are not too pleased with. Our original mission falls apart, our ranking drops, and our listeners fade. Ultimately, no more Night vision Classical.

On occasion we do happen upon artists who are happy to send their latest works to us. Pianist Stéphane Horeczko's CD, G. 1888 is one our personal favorites. Listen for his pieces in the broadcast.
