hey everyone, just to let you know, we're still at the same spot we were 48 hours ago. We are in the process of getting everything fixed. You all have our deepest thanks for being patient throughout this. Hopefully soon, we'll be back on the air, and kicking ass!

Hey everyone, don't get excited, I'm online at the radio station I work for...
I will be working on the computer tomorrow, if we get it fixed, we will go back on air on Monday and I will rearrange the schedules accordingly. (Everything will move a week back.)
Sorry for being gone, but the computer, well, pooped the bed!

Hello everyone.
It may be surprising to know, but WBME is run from my home computer. Our studios are in my place. My home computer which stores our shows, AT40, etc went down HARD last Tuesday. I have been unable to pay to get it fixed but may be able to very soon.
Once its fixed, we will be able to go back on air. Please keep checking back here. I will say that when we go back on air, we will be starting up on a Sunday evening around 10pm. Though you never know, I may have to TEST the feed for a few days which would be all AT40's, but I will post here when its starting up...
Sorry for the delays!

Hey Jeff I hope you had all your shows backed up.......man I paid a hefty price a couple of months ago for not doing that.
Anyway the airwaves are a much quieter place without you guys.......hope you get back on the air soon.

I wish Rock & Roll Sports was on this week, Jeff. Then, you could've used all of those sound effects to remind Randall that the Yanks got swept.

I see Jeff and co. made predictions for the first 2 weeks of the NFL season and then had to go on hiatus. Kind of reminds me of the 1982 NFL season. Anybody remember that one? They played 2 games, went on hiatus because of the strike and then came back several weeks later.

Sadly I forgot, but yesterday I sub hosted on the AM station out in Geneva on a sports talk show. I ALMOST had Randall do a call in and if I was able, I would have made a post here about it...
Computer still needs fixing. I hit a deer 2 weeks ago and that slowed my money flow even more.
Sorry its taking so long folks....

UPDATE:
My friend is looking at our computer now. Hopefully he'll be able to fix it easily as well as we'll have all our files.....
If we need to reload, it may take longer.
We appreciate our fans and the love and missing us, but be aware, we're still working on prepping shows such as MANY special countdowns that I have been working on!!!!

OK, well some awful news. Our hard drive is fried and we may not be able to recover anything, ANYTHING!
That means all our original shows and all our collection of AT40's and ACC shows. I have one last ditch effort, the engineer at the radio stations I work for MAY be able to recover something. If not, hopefully people will be able to offer up help in resurrecting our collection.
I will keep everyone posted...

This may include BTW, some of the countdown specials I have done in the past (Weird Al, Jacksons, July 4th #1's 1977-2011, Bee Gees & Elton John, I seem to have the other ones.)
I have backups of all the 60's countdowns thankfully...

I have an expert on hard drives looking at my old hard drive for possibilities on reacquiring my old files. I hope I get good news.
The computer is fixed with a new, BIGGER hard drive, BUT, until I know whats happening with the old one, we will remain off air. (no music, shows or bumpers and themes.)
RNH, will you upload those 3 and send me a file thru an online sharing service like ADrive or such? Thanks!

I just spoke to my "wizard" and he may have found EVERYTHING, though recovery time (with my busy schedule) will mean we'll be off til sometime near Feb 1st. keep the faith and keep checking back!

We did get everything back but rebuilding is taking time.
When we return, we will definately have Metal Mountain, ACC, AT40 & Rock N Roll Sports with occasional countdowns from me. Lots of specials in the planning stages!!!!!
I will also be re-doing the Bee Gees and Elton John ones as I am unhappy with the quality of those shows.
Keep checking back for more updates!

Are you still looking at an early February comeback?

Post by Jeff Michaels on Jan 8, 2013 16:58:00 GMT -5
We are hoping, we'll keep you all informed. If I can get internet and software set back up, I may come on with all misc AT40's until we're ready to get going, so we'll see whats up...

As we are now into February, Jeff, I thought I'd ask if you have a better sense of when you'll be back on the air.

Looking like closer to March as I have many things in my path.
I will make it up to you all as when we first come back, I will do a week long period of nothing but AT40 and maybe a few ACC shows.
SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO:
In my free time, I have been planning MERC specials. I have OVER 20 of them in various stages of planning.
Some are single artist ones, (Bee Gees and Elton will be re-done at some point btw)
Some are decade, some are label, others are music style... Even a few "all time" lists.
Stay tuned for more news!

You haven't updated in almost a month. It is now March, and WBME still hasn't come back yet.

Sorry guys and gals. Things still moving slowly in terms of getting internet back at my home. Been slow due to money shortage. Still working on shows though ;-D

NEWS UPDATE:
1- Still working on computer issues. WE WILL BE BACK.... sometime.
2- Countdown specials are being worked on and one is complete!
REDONE: Top 50 songs Written Or Performed By The Bee Gees.
2 reasons, I was never happy with the sound of it and I re figured everything because after the first 3 I began calculating differently and this shows a better overview of the way it should have been, taking Michael Bolton into the show and handicapping the Soundscan era things!
I am ready to do the same to the Elton John show.
Another difference is doing it like the AT40 rebroadcasts. An "Optional Extra" at the end of every hour except the last when I do one before the last segment.
I will be uploading it soon and the link will be posted here and on the AT40 Fun And Games Site.
