Congratulations to Deby
Kelley from
all of us at Always Country on winning the FAVORITE
FEMALE ARTIST HORIZON
AWARD 2008 ROCKIN RODEO RADIO SHOW!
I want to give a BIG thank you to all that took the
time to vote for me. I was announced the winner of
the Favorite Female Artist for the Rockin Rodeo Horizon
Award. It is very conforting to know that there are
Radio stations out here like Always Country that promote
the Indie Artist like myself. I truely want to thank
DJ Gramps for the showcases that he put on, so that
my music would reach out to the many different countries
that listen to Always Country Radio. Also to the staff
of Always Country for supporting me as well. You the
listeners are the most impotant, if it weren't for
you supporting Always Country Radio and giving them
the chance to play Indie Artist there would not be
any new artist or music coming your way. I hope you
all continue to like my music and look for my new album
coming out, the end of the year. Thanks again and God
Bless you all
Kindest regards Deby Kelley

To all of our listeners and friends,
we at
Always Country wish you a Happy Holidays and
Best Wishes for the New Year. It hasn't been
an easy year, but the one constant has been
you our listeners. You give us a gift each
day by listening and we hope that throughout
the year we've been able to return the gift
with our music.
This coming February Always Country will be
four years old and that's hard to believe.
It's all because of you, for without you Always
Country is nothing. We thank you from the bottom
of our hearts. Enjoy the holidays, have fun
with family and friends, make memories with
your children, but most of all be safe.
There is no place like home for the holidays.
Best Wishes,
Your Always Country Family

ALWAYS COUNTRY REMAINS ON AIR
A
last minute meeting with SoundExchange before
members
of Congress resulted
in suspension of the July 15th deadline for
the new royalty rates. At this time the current
rates will remain in effect as negotiations
continue in an an effort to establish fairer
payments.
As a result Always Country
is pleased to announce that we will be continue
playing our great music for now and hopefully
for a long, long time. Thank you so much for
your patience and loyalty. It's great to be
back.
Gramps and the Always Country
family
07/12/2007 ALWAYS COUNTRY TO CEASE OPERATIONS
Important Note: Should the Federal Court
of Appeals issue a stay order within the next
48 hours please disregard this message.
Dear friends,
It is with deep regret that we are posting
this message. Effective midnight (EST) July
14, 2007, at the conclusion of a special Saturday
night Gramps Ole’ Opry, Always Country
will discontinue webcasting.
With the uncertainty of our
financial obligations dating back to Jan 1,
2006 and an unclear understanding of costs
moving forward, we are sad to say that the
only logical course of action is to close the
station. We will continue to keep the web-site
available. In addition, our Always Country
email addresses will continue to function.
I’m sure that everyone
associated with Always Country, both past and
present, would say that this has been a rewarding
though sometimes difficult experience. We have
had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful
people from around the world and we thank each
and every one of you for that. If we at times
could bring a smile to your face or brighten
your day with a song, it was worth our efforts.
We hope that once there is
a clear direction we will be able to resume
operations in the same fashion as we have for
the past three years. Namely, bringing you
our great variety of country tunes at no cost
to you. We will make every effort to return
to the air as soon as possible, so please check
our web-site now and again for updates.
Happy trails everyone, until
we meet again.
Your Always Country Family

IMPORTANT NOTICE !
Dear Listeners,
We would like to begin by thanking you for
your outstanding support. In the past few
months the number of you tuning-in on a daily
basis has grown dramatically. In fact, grown
to the extent we are reaching our server
capacity. We're so pleased you enjoy our
music and the time you spend with us.
Now we need to ask for your
help
We need your support to help thwart the latest
ruling of the Royalty Commisson Board [RCB].
By their ruling in early March they have
determined to raise the royalty fees of small
Internet radio stations, like Always Country,
by 140% over the next four years. Affectively,
taking us off the air.
Yes, we do ask for donations
and we really appreciate your help. However,
we want to keep Always Country free of subscriptions
and advertising, and we hope you do too.
What can you do
to help?
If you are in the USA, please let your representatives
know that you object to the ruling of the
RCB. And no matter where you live please
sign the petition to voice your support of
good internet music. We thank you again not
only for your support in listening to Always
Country but for your help in keeping us on
the air.
DJ Cindy met Chris
Young
Hey everybody,
 As
most of you know, I saw Chris Young in concert
on Saturday April 14th. Though I didn't get
an interview with him, I did get to meet
him and chat with him a bit. He said he appreciates
all what Always Country has done for him
and his fans are the greatest.
During the concert, I had a sign that said
Cindy from Always Country. He saw the sign
and waved at me. The show was great. He sang
his couple hits that are out now and future
hits he will be releasing later. He even
sang Keith Whitley's Don't Close Your Eyes.
All the fame hasn't changed his attitude.
He loves his fans and and he lets them know.If
you all want more details, send me an email.

soon. A brand new section to the site is the forums.
The tune in section is now a part of the site. No more

Dear friends. It has come time for me to take my leave
from Always Country. It has been a great joy for me
over the years and you will be missed. I've grown weary
from all the changes and problems. I'm glad to see
the station is moving ahead on many of the ideas we'd
planned. Thank you all for your support and friendship.
Gramps
New
Website...
We at Always Country
are excited to announce a new website design is underway.
All being well you can expect to see this exciting
new design in the next two or three weeks!
The new design should make it a little easier to find
your way around the site and give a bit of a fresh
feel to the site, while keeping the Always Country
theme that know so well.
All the best from the team at Always Country.
