Can someone shed light on why the fundraising goals are so high? Is it because of music licenses? I cannot imagine the hosting fees being that much.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was licensing fees. You could always try emailing them, too :) https://somafm.com/contact/
Exactly this. Rusty has to pay ASCAP, BMI, GMR, & SESAC licensing fees. Oh, and SF rent and taxes on an office in the Mission district. I’d hope he also pays himself a good salary.
