The End

The time has come for us to turn the servers off and pull the archive of Cinebanter episodes from iTunes and the other places it has lived since its inception in 2006. This is just a heads up to our listeners who may want to download/save their favorite episodes to do so before May 1, when we go offline.

We thank everyone who listened in, sent us donations, left us a 5-star rating, argued with our opinions, bought the magazines we were in and made our community thrive during the years we were on-air. We're forever grateful.
