Chicagoland Radio And Media Website Says Goodbye

Extended Hiatus

CHICAGOLAND RADIO AND MEDIA (CRM) posted a note to its website that the service, "is going on an extended hiatus." 

Owner/Operator LARZ wrote, "Despite the website's great popularity and industry-wide fame, it never was able to attract enough advertisers to keep it operational. Donations to the website were few and far between. A subscription model was not a realistic option, as those have been tried on similar news-based websites and failed. A website like this -- which has been adding fresh items into the news section and on the message board nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays -- takes a great deal of effort, time away from families, and money. That hectic pace has been going for 12 years, but sadly now needs to come to a halt."
