SomaFM: Commercial-Free, Independent Internet Radio

14 unique channels of listener-supported, commercial-free, underground/alternative radio broadcasting from San Francisco.

SomaFM News

For March and April, we were about $2500 behind on our budget. That means we're racking up our credit card balance to pay all the bills. May looks like we're going to be about another $2000 short. If you haven't supported SomaFM this year and care about keeping us on the air, please support SomaFM and keep independent, commercial-free radio on the air!

Our friends at Spacial Audio are conducting a survey about internet radio listening, it's a pretty quick survey. Thanks!
