Dear Listeners / Members / DJs
It is with great regret that the TranceAirWaves staff announce the closure of the station.
TranceAirWaves has in the last 2 years, in our and many other opinions, been one of the best Trance radio stations on the web. This does, however, come at a price; a price we can no longer afford as license fees and bandwidth costs continue to rise, it is now no longer enonomically viable to keep the station online.
We would like to thank ALL of our listeners and DJs, DJ Agencies, and sponsors for making TranceAirWaves a huge success, a success we did not anticipate when we came up with the idea almost 2 years ago. Be assured that the staff have tried all they can to find a way to keep the station online, yet have not found a reliable solution.
For a few weeks the forums and chat room will remain online but our streaming servers, and encoders will switch off at 12:00am on 23rd November 2004.
Once again, we thank you for making the station a huge success, with a little luck we will find a way to sustain such costs and return even better in the future, so for now, thank you, and farewell.

To be honest, I didn't really listen to TAW all that much, but it's still a shame to see it closing down. |

i must say im really surprised
not that i listened to TAW loads, so i guess it wont make a difference for me
its just that its so sudden, nigel was trying to get some people from the nu-generation board some shows, and that was only a couple of weeks back...just wondering why the sudden closure |

I never listened to it either.
Still a shame to see a community/group be forced to stop helping others with common interest. :( |

Heard of it... never tuned into it..
It's a shame to see any station go under even if it's succesful. |

| Well this sucks. :( I will miss being able to listen to people like Terry, Simon, Rob, Suzy, etc spin and I will most definitely miss being in the chat room with all of the regulars from TAW chat. Those were some good times. I'm sad to see it end. :sadgreen: |

We did not want to shut down TAW, but it had to happen.
For the reasons Eviltree has quoted from the TAW site.
All i can say now is Thanks to All those that have ever listened to TranceAirWaves and Thanks to every DJ thats played for TranceAirWaves.
it was fun while it lasted and i've had the pleasure of talking to many of the DJ's that we have featured as well as talking to a great deal of you lot that have wandered into the TAW channel on IRC.
To me losing TAW is like losing a friend and i will miss it a great deal.
Again a Huge thanks to all those that have supported TAW either by listening or by playing for us.
