Update #6: Dear AM 1610 backers . . .

Posted on December 29, 2009

Thanks for backing the original Detroit Radio Project on Kickstarter. As you may remember the campaign was canceled after we won a grant from the Kresge Foundation that covered our studio.

Instead I started another Kickstarter Project called "Mission: Michigan Vinyl Acquisition":

This project is $30 away from making it's goal of $300. Backers can donate as little as $2 to make this thing happen.

Success of this new project will mean $300 returned to the local economy in the form of LPs and 45s made by Michigan artists. Our collection is already pretty awesome but with your help it could be even more awesome.

Thanks everybody and we're doing a live vinyl show starting at 12 midnight on new year's. Tune in and check us out!
