i put this on the station facebook page and stations listen 2 my radio page.
"Due to the new CRB rates we have suspended web streaming until such time there is a hobbyist exemption made to the CRB rules for hobbyists who derive no income from streaming. feel free to call the us congressional switchboard @ 202-224-3121 ask for your congressman and request they pressure the CRB to make a hobbyist exemption to the rules. thanks classic hits 1630 am 90.7 fm denver"
My streaming PC died roughly 1 month ago, I still haven't bothered fixing it...
Shoot maybe Part 15 Shortwave will take off now! LOL
No need for internet when we can use skip!
(Maybe in SSB, or figure out how to morse code all the songs)
13560 The Beep! or Telegraph 13560...
I like Mighty 1650's idea of Morse coding the songs.
If you bleep out the vulgarity in some songs it will sound like Morse code.
Sorry to hear this....a double wammy since Artisan stopped his too. I was listening from time to time and liked hearing myself on your station(re the station IDs I did for you).
Hope you can work this out and be back. But if you still have your over the air station in Denver and you need some other Ids or jingles let me know.

So I have been reading about this copyright stuff recently and from my understanding are they going/trying to make it so hobbyist can stream without paying anything????
That is one thing a group that I belong to is fighting for. Simply put Radio is a promotional tool rather AM, FM, SW, Internet and many of us part 15 Micro Broadcasters and small Webcasters do not make a profit. My sponsor pays thousands per year for my station to legally be online. He is a die hard Album Rocker and believes in my crusade against the shackles of Top 40 and Rap. Anyways to sum it up some of us are making some big waves as we do help rediscovery and discovery of many modern Progressive Rock (Album Rock) artists like Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, Neil Morse, IQ, Transatlantic, and so much more. Bringing these artists to the spotlight will hopefully get Real stereo equipment back in stores and thus promote jobs in the USA where as the Stereo equipment is often hand made and uses real transistors and resistors and even Tube Stereo's. Yes that is right I had a Luxman CD player where as the amplifier section was tube. Allowing Internet Radio to die only censors Americans to what the RIAA wants to sell you so they don't want you to hear anything outside the Billboard top 500. Raising rates and killing Hobby Broadcasters can ensure that only the stuff that is a big seller will be heard and thus the older music will die off hopefully making them a killing. I just hope we are not too late as it can take 10 years to educate most Americans that they really need to sign this petition and make it stand firm. I have advertised the petition on my station Today. I tell them that if they want a world with nothing but Boom Boom “Brother Bill” do nothing. If you want real music sign the petition.
