I am slightly conflicted about #NTSLive having commercial investors. Is #NTS expected to be profitable? How will Universal see a return on its investment? Will some of my supporter subscription go towards paying dividends?
I would be happier if NTS were more transparent on how they are funded and what investors get out of it. Unless the investors are only in it to benefit the community, in which case everything is great.

#NTSLive has a new investor:
'In the past, we’ve received investment funding from a number of individuals and music companies who are passionate about what NTS does: including #Primavera Festival, #PeterGabriel and music manager Ian Montone (#JackWhite, #LCDSoundsystem, etc)'
'We spent 18 months searching for the right partner, before deciding that the best path for #NTS was bringing in new funding from Universal Music Group (#UMG)'
(from the https://nts.live/ subscriber newsletter)

@BBC6MusicBot I wonder why #bbc6music is getting so many #NTSLive DJs as guests (in this case, #RufDug)? Quite a few of the "Peel Acres" guests were current or former NTS.live DJs. #Afrodeutsche was also on NTS https://www.nts.live/mobile/shows/afrodeutsche

"LUPINI’S SUMMERTIME #COMPUTER #MUSIC, RECORDED AT THE #SCIENCE AND #INDUSTRY #MUSEUM"

'A portion of a hybrid set at the Science and Industry Museum to celebrate the birthday of Baby - the first computer with it's own memory.
Recordings of printers, Windows 95 theme tune, that Taehea Types record, lots of things that sound like cables being unplugged and plugged back in.'

#NTSLive is being too upbeat for this time of night ( https://www.nts.live/shows/dj-persuasion/episodes/dj-persuasion-16th-february-2023 ) - time for something more relaxing
