2024 started with such a fantastic wave of support from so many of you, that - to be frank - we were overwhelmed. We had moved most of our promotion onto Mixcloud because of the inflexible royalty licensing system in the UK and were planning to end the traditional streams for UK listeners completely. After we announced that news at the beginning of December 2023, we were inundated with help. So much so, that nearly half the year's costs had been met by March.

Sadly, that didn't continue, probably because we stopped asking! So here we are again, asking for your support to get into 2025. Please help to keep this ad-free station afloat as we (try to) go into our 23rd year. All the royalties have to be paid in advance, which means before the end of January.

2XS has been Listener Supported by hundreds of our Heroes since we started in December 2002. It's meant that we have been able to remain ad-free - which is awesome. If you do hear any ads, then they have been inserted by a third party. Please tell us if this happens - we came off TuneIn during 2024 for that very reason. We have spent a lot of time and money keeping the station running and it's only been possible because of your contributions, so a big "thank you" to all who have helped so far. If you haven't already, maybe you could keep us going with a one-off or recurring donation?

Just so you know: all income is spent on royalty payments, servers, studio maintenance, software upgrades - and coffee. No-one here gets paid. £$EUR 20 supports the musicians; £$EUR 10 helps towards server costs - and £$EUR 5 will buy a coffee and keep the lights on!

You can use Ko-Fi to make a one-off or monthly contribution (which is easy to cancel):
