Been a hell of a ride....

Hello everyone!

It is with many emotions we post this here today, for we need to let y'all know something. As many of you already have discovered, we have been off the air since last Friday. We have discussed and thought about this decision deeply, and want you all to know it was not made lightly, or in haste. Greatly due to the economic climate today, we here at Bich1Radio have decided to close our 'doors', for good this time.

We want to thank each and every one of you who have stood by us for the last four plus years, laughed with us, cried with us, and shared so many great moments... the April Fool’s Day where each of us took other shifts and 'became' the other DJ's, goofy Halloween and holiday shows, our New Year’s Eve show.... the Birthday shows for Bich where ya just never ever knew what on earth was going to happen, the Memorial and Veterans day shows filled with great classic rock, the same music our boys listened to in Vietnam (and several armed conflicts since too). Hell, even our everyday shows were sometimes rife with the unexpected, which just made it all the more fun!

Playing shows for you has been an awesome experience for all of us, being able to share tunes with you, expose y'all to new bands you hadn't heard yet, or favorite tunes not heard for a long time perhaps.... and maybe one of the most important things... shared with you the blessing of being able to send care packages, cards, letters from school kid's classes, and just whatever else was needed to our fantastic men and women in  military service. YOU all deserve a huge thank you for your generosity and support... and we have been so pleased to be able to join with you to support our troops, wherever they happened to be.

So.. Even though we will no longer be broadcasting... the spirit of Bich1Radio will never be gone, it will go on in the sharing of support for our troops, it will go on in the music... the music is what made it all possible.

Thank You all for the last four plus years, and we wish each and every one of you a long and happy life, filled with laughter and loved ones around you.

Remember everyone... rock long, rock heavy, and rock HARD!!

Packages Help!!

Today we heard from a young wife of one of our deployed men. Her husband is overseas, along with so many others. She had heard from him that his unit had received some packages from Bich1Radio, and she wanted to get ahold of us to thank us, and to let other wives and spouses know about us also. Ya know, it's funny... she sought us out to thank us...

Here's the thing... the thanks do NOT belong to us here at Bich1Radio.
The thanks belong to the fine men and women who are so far away, standing the wall for us here at home.
The thanks belong to the spouses and families of those men and women, who put up with so much, and have to live their lives for a while without the person they love by their sides.
The thanks belong to YOU our listeners for your donations, without which we would not be able to help much at all, other than the music we play, hoping that the ones we all love will hear it, and have a short, small taste of home.

We have always, and WILL always support our men and women in the military. By extension, we also support their families and loved ones too...in any way we are able.
Below are some pics that were shared with us to share with all y'all. These is one of the units who have gotten the boxes y'all so generously filled with goods to send. (The backgrounds, insignias, and names have been scrambled to protect them and their locations.)But there are many more we'd like to help... so please... hit that donation button on our main site Bich1Radio, and rest assured that, as always, every penny you donate goes exactly where you mean it to... to our TROOPS.

Thank YOU, men and women of service, and to your families. We will keep the home fires burning for you, our hearts warm for you, and prayers on our lips and in our hearts for your speedy and safe return to us here at home. May God bless each and every one of you, and hold you all safe in His hands.
