Talk of the Town went off the Internet on Friday after a
campaign to secure $5,000 in monthly commitments for equipment and production
salaries came up short.
The show raised about half of the money, former co-host Ward
Scott told The Gainesville Sun.
“The money we would raise would only prolong the end of the
show,” he said. “Why not face the inevitable sooner than later?”
The show originally aired on WBXY 99.5 FM with founders Ed
Braddy and Jake Fuller. It was bumped by electronic dance music under new
management.
The show transferred online to AlachuaTalks.com and through
Apple and Android mobile apps with the help of Ozean Media, a political
consulting media company.
It announced its “Save Talk of the Town” campaign in early
July to keep the show running from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays.
