Hard times calls for drastic measures:
With fundraising and advertising at an all time low, the “Great Recession” has devastated most of Umbrella Radio’s revenue streams.  Like any business when expenses out way revenue,  drastic measures have to be taken to assure continued operations.  Live programming is the first to take a hit.  Currently, field productions like “Acoustic Baltimore” have already been halted.  After our December broadcasting break our flagship program “The Audiophile” will be cancelled along with other syndicated programming.  Other programs to follow as the belt tightens.
