Let's see what they say on their site:
"If you haven't recently, please make a donation today to ensure that
SomaFM can continue broadcasting.
Sadly we don't have some magical benefactor who made billions with
their tech startup subsidizing SomaFM. So we need your help. Please?
Don't make us post pictures of our DJs looking solemnly at the camera
and begging for your support!!
Over 30 unique channels of listener-supported, commercial-free,
underground/alternative radio broadcasting to the world. All music
hand-picked by SomaFM's award-winning DJs and music directors."
