To all of my Valentine's out there,
It's been a little over a month since I updated y'all on the status of the network, but also on my plans for the future so I wanted to let you all know what's happened and what my plans are for the next month or two.

I have a bunch of personal issues going on in my life so if I disappear please keep me in your prayers, and know that I'm doing my best to return to posting more videos, podcast episodes and updates for y'all.

If you haven't had a chance to read our latest Update Report for 02/03 - 02/09 take a moment to check out how hectic this week has been.

Earlier this week The Listening Lounge was rebranded to "The Lounge" and for the first time in PGE's history we added our first members only area. The Lounge is becoming an audio hub focusing on live streaming, on-demand programming and podcasts. Our first podcast that we launched is Armin Van Buuren's A State Of Trance. Debuted around 9 years ago this podcast has 900 episodes and counting! As of today we have the first 39 episodes and adding new episodes daily. In more exciting news Tiësto's Clublife is coming to The PGE Network next week!!! Like A State Of Trance we'll be starting with the earliest available episodes and adding more episodes daily. These podcasts are available to members only so if you're not a member what are you waiting for?

As promised at the end of January our menu as well as a few other key features were translated into Japanese. If you speak Japanese and want to help translate all of our front page news including our monthly updates like this one please join and use the contact form to get in touch with me. Depending on what transpires over the next couple of weeks I'll be starting the process of translating the network into Korean which should be finished by the end of March.

Three weeks ago we launched our newest weekly forum posting entitled Friday Nite Dance Party. Friday Nite Dance Party is about getting your night started with an upbeat dance tune from artists like Armin Van Buuren, Dash Berlin, Tiësto & many others. Each week's post happens around 10:00pm CST / 11:00pm EST. If you're enjoying this newest weekly forum post then please let me know and please suggest your favorite songs for future consideration!

At the beginning of March, Armada's Deep House Selection will become a members only area. I know that this is probably going to upset a lot of people, but please know & understand...

So let's talk about the financial situation of The PGE Network for a moment. While I'm happy that our domain name costs have dropped our hosting costs have increased. The software required to provide you this comprehensive network costs hundreds of dollars a year. We are currently extremely limited in our options with one option of just closing down the network and walking away when our hosting contact expires, but that is not something we want to do. We want to continue to expand the network and add more features. Because of our financial situation we're going to be making some changes over the next 6 months. What those changes are we don't know yet.
An option that we're currently exploring is that more new features will also become members only. In addition we're looking into subscription services. Each subscription service will include a gift or two depending on which subscription you choose. I will be posting more information on the subscription services in the next couple of weeks if I can. Another option is adding more ads to the network. This something we do not want to do if we can help it.

So how can you help? First, send me a message using the contact form letting me what kind of companies would you prefer to see advertising on the network. Second, buy something from our advertisers if you can. If you don't see an advertiser that you believe would be a good fit and would like to buy from let us know. Third, like our facebook page, like our posts, and get your friends to do the same. Fourth, promote the network to your friends and family. Don't just talk, get them to join and let me know what I can do to keep them active.

Last month I talked about adding soundcloud to everyone's profile. As of today, I'm not sure that's still going to happen, but I'm hoping to know around the 25th if adding soundcloud is still a possibility. I will post something either here on the frontpage or in our Update report letting you all know if it was added.

As always, I'm on the lookout for more news sources and music videos & playlists. I'm also hoping to add some more new podcasts and some on-demand programming to our members only area as well. Please check back here often or stay updated on facebook by liking our page for future announcements.

Thanks for your time and your continuing visits.
