Vacation.. maybe permanent?
The GDL has been operating as a non-profit radio station for the past four years providing listener's from all over the world with the music they want to hear. Music you will not hear on commercial radio...
As of today, we have decided to take our streams down for the remainder of the summer due to the proposed royalty rate increase set forth by the Copyright Royalty Board and we will not be moving forward should the US Congress choose not to 'override' the CRB's decision to triple the costs of operating a online radio station. If you want to have GDL back on the web then please click on the banner below.
If you have any questions or comments feel free to email us at vacation@getdownlounge.com. We'll be back on September 1st if all goes well.
