Got it, thanks for trying Interstate. It was not a great show. Many F-ups today. My head wasn't on straight, that's for sure. Meh, win some, lose some. Not sure how you guys get the stream. I know its on TuneIn and the regular website too... I can't imagine how hard it is to do your countdown live. It's something even "the legend where the countdown began" couldn't do. Is there a reason they wouldn't let you record and play back? A countdown is something that needs to be done a certain way and live isn't that way. It would be nice if you were given the opportunity to polish and shine, it would definitely sound more like it's intended and has sounded over the years.

Try WRFZ or Rochester Free Radio.
106.3 FM Rochester might also help.

Jeff, this morning so far the stream is all over the map. Through "Makin' It" I've got about 95% of the show. The last 30 minutes I've been listening it keeps cutting out. It's not my internet, it's either the station or the TuneIn service. Hopefully Adam is recording and getting the gaps I'm missing. Hopefully the last 30 minutes goes without a hitch. I'll send you what I got later this morning.

I'll send you what I got later this morning. I've also been listening this morning and it has cut out quite often - it seems like the signal just gets lost. The worst I noticed was around #34-#33 on the countdown and then again in the last 25 minutes (#10-#5). I am just listening at RochesterFreeRadio.com, and when I push the "little start button," it usually takes off again. The little start button turns from green to red when it stops.

I know tunein has a better chance/track record. But if that cuts out, let me know so I can let management know...

Jeff, I recorded your show on RFR this morning and again had streaming issues during the 4th hour. It's on my phone so I have to transfer it. I'll get it to you as soon as I can if Adam doesn't have it for you.

Cool. I'd like for both to send it so I can use each for problem times in the stream.
Did you listen this morning. Went good. A few mistakes, nothing too bad though!

I tried listening on Tune-In yesterday (for the first 2 hours) and streaming problems continued. Some of the worst parts were at the end of the extra "The Airplane Song" by Royal Guardsmen, when you were telling a story about Bunny Sigler, and during the Willie Mitchell extra at the end of hour 2. I might have to get a new computer because the one I now have just doesn't handle streams well when the station is sending a streaming ad at the same time. I seem to be attracting many more streaming ads than I was a year ago, on many stations, not just RFR.
For the final 2 hours I went back to the RFR feed and that wasn't much better. In the last 30 seconds of "A Whiter Shade of Pale", it sounded like you were playing an LP and the needle got stuck in a groove at 2 different spots. When you gave the tops of other charts, I missed your intro to the #1 country song. The stream totally bailed during the playing of the Frankie Valli song at #2, so I gave up and didn't hear the #1 song either.

Early report is stream stopped at 720am and picked back up at 721, so appears it went rather smooth. I'll send what I have later this evening.

Whiter Shade Of Pale was our computer sticking in 2 places, not the stream.
For some it's their internet. For others it's a problem with out stream, either their computer disagrees with it or ours fails.
Might be due to the amount of people trying to listen, at least on the RFR site anyhow. Tunein should be able to handle that.

Jeff is so popular, he's crashing the server! RFR didn't know what they were in for!

Jeff, more streaming issues, but I got quite a bit. I still have to upload from my phone.

RFR stream was off for about two minutes just now. During the Did You Know segment, right before Spinning Wheel.

Cool, send me what you have. I am working on being able to record it in house, but it isn't there yet...
Adam, send what you have of last week and this week. Then I can fill in the blanks!

I recorded the show directly today, so I'll have it ready today, right after I'm done recording another show.

Unfortunately I got nothing today, so hopefully Adam got a recording. Sorry, Jeff. It's frustrating that it's so hit and miss for me. I thought over five years I'd gotten pretty good at it.

I might have solved the issue finally. Came up with a plan and today's show was the first to be fully recorded and sounding good.
Gotta comb over it tomorrow but looking good!
I hope you guys will still listen though.
Give it a few weeks for me to work our bugs. Only send if I need it.
Thanks for everything so far!

I could have but the issue is I was almost behind script wise. That's why it came off this stations schedule. Now I'm scripted about 6 weeks in advance but prefer the live approach for now.

Hopefully one of you got something today. My recording abruptly stopped around the end of hour 2 and LUCKILY I decided to check on it and saw that it stopped. But not until the 3rd song of hour #3. (During Scream) I'll let you know later about the rest....

An idea would be (if possible) have the station record it so they or you could play it again later.

They cant. It's up to each show. I have it under control for the most part but lost a slight section of the show. Hoping one of the two guys got it.

I didn't get it, Jeff. Not gonna lie, I totally flaked this morning. Remembered when I saw your message. Can't even blame technology. Hopefully Adam came through. Sorry.
