News : AndrewHaug.com launch Pozible campaign to keep the radio station on air

By on September 28, 2016

Since its inception in late 2012, AndrewHaug.com has been Australia’s first and only dedicated 24/7 rock-metal station. Launched by radio personality, Andrew Haug, and the longest-running former host of Triple J’s National Weekly Radio/Metal Radio Program from 2001-2011, the station is 100% officially licensed, but it also isn’t cheap.

To meet the demands of a changing market, a Pozible crowdfunding campaign has been created to help keep the station alive and running. Perks including merch, the opportunity to create your very own playlist for the radio station, and even the chance to host a session are on offer.
