# Announcement
The @MSP-Waves Broadcast Network is pleased to announce its partnership with @Utopian-io.

MSP Waves provides its audience with Steemit user created programming on its interactive social broadcast station. We started out with a bare-bones hosted solution and a home-based 'server' with some 10 shows more than a year ago.

### MSP Waves Offering
Today, we utilize professional grade servers in data centers and a host of different open-source technologies to bring 24x7 video and audio streaming to [our website,](http://mspwaves.com/listen) [vimm.tv](https://vimm.tv/@msp-waves), and [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/mspwaves). We also offer audio-only options via [Icecast](http://stream.mspwaves.com:8000/live320.mp3) and [Discord](https://discord.gg/xBwFKGX), with more A/V destinations being added soon.

### MSP-Waves Future
It is our goal to give a voice, literally, to Steemit users of all walks of life. We currently have 33 unique weekly shows with 67 Hours of Live Programming on MSP Waves. Our hosts and DJs offer Music, Talk, Curation, Politics, Philosophy, Christian content, Prepper, Myths and Legends, goofy fun shows, and everything in between. We hope to eventually broadcast live programming 24/7 so you can find all the great live content you want to experience in one place. Check out our full schedule on [MSP Waves.com](http://mspwaves.com/).

### Steemix
*But wait - there is more:*

When no live show is on, we still promote Steemit users via Steemix - our amazing Steemit Musician Programming, which is curated and nurtured by @soundwavesphoton. [Learn More Here.](https://steemit.com/msp-waves/@msp-waves/officially-announcing-steemix-radio-1539153240)

### MSP Waves Team
@r0nd0n, our station manager, does an amazing job of implementing automation and state-of-the-art technology to consistently improve the audience and DJ/Host/Staff experience. @globocop, our other station manager, owns the operations of our station. It is a labor of love. 

The Operations team consists of @meno, @pechichemena, @uniwhisp, @r0nd0n, @globocop, and @jesse2you. @movement19 and others will be joining our crew soon.

### Rewards for Audience and DJs
It is our goal to reward our audience and our dedicated hosts for their loyalty and work. At the same time, we are relying on SP Delegations and Upvotes to finance our significant server costs and to improve our technology front and back-end.

### Utopian-io Partners with MSP-Waves
That is why we recently started talking to @elear of @utopian-io. Not only are the amazing folks over at Utopian-io facilitating and delivering open-source development, but hey are also graciously granting us a 50% upvote once per week. This is truly great news for MSP Waves, as this support will enable us to pay the bills every month and even increase our capabilities to deliver a quality product to the audience.

After hearing of our situation, Witness @reggaemuffin also offered a weekly upvote to @msp-waves.

Your support means a lot to the station and our ability to deliver services to Steemit users and beyond.

### Different Ways - Same Goals
Utopian-io and MSP Waves, although very different in what we do, serve the same audience, and have a shared goal: 

> ***To advance a decentralized way of providing products and services and to increase the value of STEEM through the creativity of blockchain users and the creation of value-added services and applications.*** 

By partnering up, we can promote each other's services and make the best use of our mutual resources.

We are honored to partner up with the folks of Utopian-io. They are leading the way in bringing new technology to this platform, and we're thrilled to do everything we can to support their efforts.

We are looking forward to working with you now and in the future.
