Thanks for your support.

April 16, 2009 22:34 by Christopher

A few listeners have asked how they can donate and help support the station. I'll get a PayPal donation link setup in the next day or so. In the meantime if you wish you can email me via the contact page and I'll send you my PayPal account. I would post it here but don't want the spam bots to get it.

Thanks,
Chris

Radio Free Akron's Days Are Limited!

April 6, 2009 15:54 by Christopher

I recently received a new credit card from my bank & they notified me that there had been a data breach. With my old card deactivated I proceeded to update my Pay-Pal account for my broadcasting licenses and my stream provider. The change of the credit card caused my subscriptions to be canceled. I notified my license provider (LoudCity). They see this as a change in my account and now want to charge me double what I've been paying. I'm working with them to try and reduce the cost but it as of now it looks like I'll be going off of the air on or around April 15th. After 10 years of paying for bandwidth, hardware, software, music & royalties I just can't take any additional expense for the station.

I'll update if the situation should change.

Chris

Playlist Rotation & Windows Media Player fixes.

February 16, 2009 22:28 by Christopher

I found and corrected a bug in the playlist rotation that was preventing some songs from being played. I've reset the song weights so now you should hear more of the music in the library. If you use the Windows Media player to listen to the 64k stream you will now have a new display. It will show song info, cover art, last few songs, what's coming up and give you the ability to purchase the song or album (if available) from Amazon.

Adagio Teas

January 24, 2009 11:38 by Christopher

I recently discovered Adagio Teas thanks to Veronica Belmont. After watching an episode of Tekzilla where Veronica & Patrick Norton discuss coffee, I realized that Veronica and I both had similar tastes in coffee. So we might also share the same tastes in tea. I picked up the IngenuiTEA and the black tea sampler. They also threw in a blend based on my Zodiac sign (Leo). So far I've been pleased with the teas and the IngenuiTEA. If you would like to try some yourself use the box below to get a $5 off coupon.
