Hey punx! Thanks to everyone who has donated so far to Keep Indie Radio Alive! Thanks to you, our anticipated hosting costs for the month of September have nearly been met!

We still need your help, though. We are still working on 501(c)3 designation. Additionally, a medical emergency involving my spouse has wiped out my savings. Your help will ensure that SSCR Tampa continues to level the playing field for independent musicians. Please consider donating today. If you don't want to donate all at once, no problem! Your monthly donation, for as little as $2, will help to ensure a revenue stream for SSCR Tampa well into the future.

🚨 Help keep indie radio alive! 🚨

SSCR Tampa has been streaming independent voices since 2020 — giving punk, indie, and underground artists the stage they deserve. We’re transitioning to a nonprofit, but rising costs (including $200/month in network and server costs) mean we need your help to stay on the air.

So... anybody here from Wilkesville, Ohio?

Hey punx! I need you to take a look at the below post, and consider the ramifications for all media. Sorry in advance for this rather dry post, but I think it's important for you to know the media environment through which we navigate.

In May of this year, we were asked by our streaming provider to agree to an updated Terms of Service. While I am not at liberty to disclose those Terms of Service, I will tell you that there is a provision in there that I found alarming. So alarming, in fact, that we opted to end our relationship with this streaming provider, rather than comply with the new TOS. So what was it? Well, in place of the old provision which basically can be summarized as "don't do anything stupid or illegal," there was a new provision. This new provision called on us to comply with any regulation to which the streaming provider or our station may be subject.

That may sound like the same thing, but it's really not. We are not a terrestrial radio station, licensed by the FCC. Besides the fact that we're just a bunch of broke punks who can barely afford a busted van parked on the banks of the Hillsborough River, there's a reason we aren't seeking an FCC license: We do not, can not, shall not, and will not comply with any governmental authority that will tell us what we can and cannot say. This, my friends, is the essence of punk.

Now comes an "agreement" between CBS and the Trump Administration that appears to do exactly that. This comes after similar settlements and backroom deals for which this Administration is infamous, in which all manner of corporations have agreed to comply with speech that the Administration finds acceptable. Others have decided to "comply in advance", and I have no doubt that our former streaming partner is, or at least intends to be, one of them.

Does this mean that SSCR Tampa is getting political and "woke"? No more than we ever were. I'm not a free speech absolutionist, but I will zealously guard my right, and the rights of those who choose to belong to this community of ours, to say what's on our mind. And you may have noticed, I'm doing exactly that now.

Thanks for reading, and up the punx! --Jeff

Soon there will be "political officers" stationed at every major media outlet and military base if this keeps up.

The radio stream will be down for a few minutes as we perform some maintenance.

Hey punx! Thanks for listening. We apologize for technical difficulties with the stream today. It's actually caused by a bit of good news, or at least there's a silver lining involved: Your response since we launched the new stream has been AMAZING! Our little streaming server (and yeah, admittedly, it *is* a little streaming server right now) is working its little heart out to keep up.

Just wanted you to know that I am doing my level best to keep things going. We're also working on improvements to ensure that we don't have these issues in the future. Thanks for being part of the fastest growing radio community in Central Florida!

Hey punx! The issue with the web players is fixed.

06/28/2025

Hey punx! We're aware of an issue with the metadata not showing on some of our web players, including the one on our website. This would be the information about what song you're listening to; by what artist, etc. The audio stream is playing just fine. While we're working to get that fixed, though, if you want to view a player with the metadata, you can go to this page:

Hey punx! Some of you have asked, with the transition to independent radio, what about Roku?

Fear not! Thanks to Get Me Radio!, we're on Roku.

Here's the link to their Roku channel, or just look for Get Me Radio! on your Roku devices:

Roku provides the simplest way to stream entertainment to your TV. On your terms. With thousands of available channels to choose from.

Hey punx! I see a number of you have put in some dedications, which is totally awesome! However, I need to make one thing clear: Dedications aren't the same thing as requests. If you dedicate a song, it goes to an approval queue and, if approved (come on, you know we gotta approve this stuff so we don't get a whole bunch of blue pill ads disguised as "dedications"), the dedication and message show at the top of the screen. (I also wanna say the dedication feature is kinda funky right now, and although you can dedicate a lot of tracks, not everything we play is in the dedication list yet... we're working on that.)

Requesting a song is something different. If you go to the below link, you'll see a list of our music catalog.

Search for the track you want us to play, and our AutoDJ will play it (provided we're not in a live show at the time) in just a few minutes.
