The regular stations have to pay a small amount for the songs on their playlists. There's new legislation in the works to make internet broadcasters pay a significantly larger amount of money for playing copywrited songs over the internet. KBON may be in danger as well as any other internet radio out there. Most don't get paid much from their banner ads and will not be able to come up with enough cake to continue broadcasting. This means that most of the small blues, cajun, bluegrass and folk radio sites will be gone and there'll be no place to access anything for free. Another one of life's simple pleasures sucked into the cash machine of the corporations who really don't give a sh*t about the artists. If they did, they'd want the lesser knowns get some free exposure that the net can give 'em.
