When listeners hear a song they like on a broadcaster's stream and "click or tap" the shopping cart to buy that song, it should hyper-link that listener to the broadcaster's Amazon or Apple affiliate account so they can receive the credit for that purchase, not Live365. It appears Live365.com currently has the buy now button linked to someone's Apple affiliate account, making extra money off hardworking radio programmers as if the subscriptions paid by broadcasters are not enough.It's not fair, and this needs to change. It is already harmful the cap placed on a broadcaster's stream account, which makes it difficult for radio programmers on the Live365 network to earn money or credits towards their monthly subscription fee with Live365's monetization program, which this broadcaster has elected to be a part of since 2009 and this my station has not made a penny from Live365's monetization program. Next, there is the subject of promotion, and I am not talking about Live365.com's spotlight featured stations that you have to request through Live365.com's marketing department. As a broadcaster, I am concerned about the first thing a website visitor will see when they visit live365.com. When you visit the Live365.com website, the landing page shows various broadcaster logos that should randomly display different station logos each time their landing page reloads, but this rarely is the case which appears that Live365.com has its favorites. It's those stations that you continuously see receiving the most hits to their streams and those stations that enjoy the most listeners. I have brought this issue to Live365 management a few times by creating a support ticket over the last twelve years since I have been a customer. The emailed response that I get back is always the same without addressing the real issue on the Live365.com landing page. Look, here's the thing, there needs to be equal opportunity for all broadcasters on the Live365.com network, not just a select few.
