WJAS owner Frank Iorio is on my

“The story is not true! Q&R were to be on I-Heart live. Why they would say streaming was essential for their audience and then not wanting to be on I-Heart is because they wanted to be able to charge their listners a fee.They wanted to make more money for people to listen to the show.”
I don’t understand all this. They were streaming before, on WPGB, and also had a members area for a fee. You could still download podcasts even if you were not a paying member and of course the streaming was available on the station website. I don’t understand what benefits you got for being a paying member.
Yes, I’m confused. Sounds like they just have Q&R and Iorio have their wires crossed somewhere?
