Community is enhanced by a common listening experience. When listening to the live Hober stream, you are sharing a global experience, rather than being shunted into single-faceted canned programs. We have found that most people that like the more natural music are interested in a wide variety of different types of that music, and become bored quickly with one-dimensional playlists. Hober is the sum of the creative talents of twenty or more people, in addition to the musical artists presented on the station. Perhaps if we master the creation of one real good station we can then turn to trying on another.
Time of day is out, as are traffic reports and weather.
The song titles and info display on the faceplate. Silence is golden for Hober. Strange words to hear from a broadcaster. This is a very deep question. Hober is privately owned and adequately funded for the time being.
