Jeff
Hope you are feeling better with your back.
Will MERC continue twice a week on WRFZ aside the WPNC airplays ?

Yes. We're starting to build on this. Trying other affiliates hopefully.
Was gonna ask about what time is better but you're in France so times are probably better on WRFZ.

I know they replay the AT40 shows Tuesday & Wednesday at 12AM Eastern. I wonder if they'll air the MERC Countdowns one night. They're a good station I discovered them 3-4 years ago when on the week after Christmas & New Year they payed AT40 shows non-stop.

I cannot acces to WPNC with my recorders ( rarma Radio & Total Recorder ) just because i don't have the good url of the station. The one provided on AT40 proboards is not the good one. I've been told the bitrate of the station is only 96 kbps : is it right ? Does someone have the stream url ?

I use this in my RarmaRadio: ice23.securenetsystems.net/WPNC?&playSessionID=51A83A80-B70B-6031-66938446FD176D06a bit long, but that's what is shows up as....reports a 32 bitrate but sounds good to me.

Sounds great on my Alexa. I know you can't record that way but I doubt it's much different. Alexa connects to TuneIn.

Sorry but rarma radio refuses The link. With Total recorder cannot play because it's AACp and not Mp3.

Maybe try: ice23.securenetsystems.net/WPNC oR ice23.securenetsystems.net/WPNCI'm thinking the extra stuff at the end of the link I gave you was added by Rarma Radio. Jeff said something about Alexa working with WPNC. I can confirm Google Home does also by saying "Hey Google, play WPNC" Hope this helps.

No,links doesn't work. I don't have cellular phone , live in the country with no signal. So Alexa or Google , forget it , it's not for me.
I just want to record the show on a internet recorder but the url is necessary to do that.
I have asked Rarma radio team to add the station, i will see.
Anyway thank you for your effort to help me , i appreciate.

just in case people don't see it on the other thread, check the Facebook page because some of our new affiliates are starting this weekend and will be airing a show that Rochester free radio is not airing. Still reruns, but maybe you would like a choice.

Is WPNC the station that's airing Casey all day on the 4th being the reason there's not a MERC marathon that day?

Not sure, it's either that or they air concerts all day on the 4th of July.

The MERC is becoming a worldwide phenomenon. You've already got a station on most of the continents.
