WBME has gone offline this morning.

[Jeff Michaels]

Internet snafu. Should be ok. Just saw now and not home so hopefully....

[Mike]

Hmmm...seeing as we're still very much Lost in Music past 10:30, how off-kilter is the schedule currently? Asking because I may have to try and catch the morning airing of Shadoe.

ETA: Well, that's one way to play catch-up I suppose. So...little over 10 minutes, now.

[Jeff Michaels]

What was? I skipped an Elton show to try to get it back to where it should be.

So I noticed. When I tuned in at about 20 to 6, Marc Elliott was up to #4.

It's maybe 10 minutes difference or so now. *shrugs* Close enough.

[skyseth]

I presume there will be special shows for Memorial day ?
Maybe it's too soon to know ...

[Jeff Michaels]

Nothing special. Just regular stuff.

[Jeff Michaels]

Back in a minute, slight power outage knocked off the computer...

[skyseth]

Sorry guys, i have forgotten to record the long distance dedication show, so i cannot make the playlist. My apologies.

[Jeff Michaels]

Seth, may be I can send it. Let me see if its uploaded.

I listend to the longest distance dedication show and enjoyed the show - lots of great songs and stories showing that radio can be so much more than tune it in to break the silence. It can build a special relationship between the makers and listeners if it offers something special to tune in at a regular time like AT40 or music specials dealing with a special genre, time frame(hits in 1986 for example) or artist. There are so many ways to make real listeners tune in to a good station for a special reason. But as wbme says in a claim: most stations don´t dare to play special tings - maybe the PD´s are more afraid in losing listeners if they don´t play the best of...24/7 without a schedule instead seeing the possiblity of gaining listeners who long for something special beeing played to liten to.

There have been few stations and incidents I will always remember as a dedicated lister:
The first time when I listened to Casey on Radio Hamburg in september 1987
The time I listened to OK Radio Hamburg which took over AT40 in 1990. Therefore I had to travel to HAMBURG at weekends because the station just had 100power watts and I lived 150miles away. So I gCrapped my Tape recorder and a pack of 10 tape cassettes with 90min and spend my week at the youth hostel in Hamburg. Ok Radio was the first station in northern Germany. Even that they just existed from 1988 to 1995 they still have a fan page Hit95.de - take a look and you might understand that they were special- they dared to put on 3 syndicated english radio programms to their schedule and had many other special shows like the hot mix where often were listeners in the studio... In summer 2008 a tuned in CFN europe and found per chance AT40 - I shivered inside to get the chance nearly 25 years after AT40 stopped in 1995 to listen once again in fantastic quality on satellite. Thanks to Olaf Guillaume PD of CFN who was always took care about his listeners. Shame that the canadian government closed the service in september 2014. But thank you for mention the station as an affiliate classic AT40 station on the dedication special.
And then last in line of great radio with people who deffinatly care about good programm for dedicated listeners is WBME. Thank you Jeff adam and everybody else who made the station special and differnt to the big mass of others that just play any kind of stuff at any time. I´m tankful that I found you all sometime - always looking for something special on the radio dail - not just the usual stuff.

[Jeff Michaels]

Thank you Roadrunner. I plan on bringing a lot of this to WRFZ. www.rochesterfreeradio.com check out the schedule. Lots of like minded people doing shows.

And of course we'll be playing lots of great stuff. Just not as formatted...
