But you're a chatter-box.

It costs money, to run Internet radio. That's because
the connection bandwidth costs money. When an Internet Radio
has advertising, it is easy to see the attempt to recoup
that money.

Like "Free VPN", "Free Radio" cannot be free as the money
has to come from somewhere. For example, the postimage.org
site, burns $30,000 in bandwidth (at $0.03 per gigabyte) per month.
That's a third of a million dollars per year. The advertising
on that site, has always been of the lowest grade materials,
and the cost per impression must be extremely low.

When a service is "free" and tangible assets are consumed
to run it, you have to ask how they make the money back.
That's why you should be suspicious. It doesn't matter
what country the participants are in, it depends on what
their intent is.
