Nice to see Timinbovey making commercial radio great again! Especially AM.
We need more commercial stations playing the songs we were mentioning.

I have an separate laptop for the broadcast computer. Never connected to the internet.
And another for the “regular” computer. The HP  laptop has been running Play it Live for a couple of years now fine 24/7. A basic small 11.5″ laptop works great as the automation computer with Play it Live. Never on the internet also means no annoying updates…[Read more]

There’s also David Soul from Starsky and Hutch with Don’t Give Up On Us and a couple of others.
Sixteen reasons wasn’t so obscure, was a top 10 national hit.

This could go on and on…..check this out…..remember Festas from the TV classic Gunsmoke? Well, this sure surprised me, He also was a singer in country music. Here’s a…[Read more]

He sounds like Ricky Nelson. If fact so much so that If I heard Bad Reputation without knowing I would have said that’s Ricky Nelson. I like Bad Reputation. May put it on my playlist.

I had to look up to see who Dwayne Hickman was and he was in an Annette Funicello beach movie but I never knew the names of the co stars. I don’t know the names of most actors in movies or TV shows except a few.

I love the Donna Reed show. Shelly Fabares recorded a good many songs besides her big hit Johnny Angel. There was the follow up Johnny…[Read more]

Hope you have a good new year also and nice to hear from you again here.
How’s your Procaster working out for you? If I remember you were trying to get it set up right?

As for the other forum our positive is everyone is welcome here. It’s an open forum.

I went to the blogs and can’t see where to write a comment on any one?

I think it’s amazing that you can find all this out and have the know how and dedication to do this! And to find out about other countries also! It boggles the mind thinking about it!
For me to find out if a certain song from a time period is public in the US and Canada say just an example picked out of a hat “Good Night Irene” my lord! And to do…[Read more]

Interesting! So going by what you say, 2/3rds of my playlist could be public domain? or at least 1/2 of it? But it is unclear if I could put old radio dramas on as you say.
More stations should be “real oldies” in Canada as the immense fee for playing music is gone. Swing era music included I assume is public domain? Glen Miller example?

Me, I’m all automated, as I am a listener to my own station. All the talking station ID’s jingles are all in files in the mix. I am a disaster and if I tried to be live not just to do talk but just to say something between songs or announce the next song or just say a few words. I would stumble over the words, not know what to say next, it would…[Read more]

I agree with artisan. I see so many members that have been active in the last few days but no posting. Myself to blame too. I just can’t think of any subjects to start. We need someone like Carl to be able to think of little things like he did. There will be no moderating from me as long as certain guidelines are not violated. I actually had a…[Read more]

This is something that should get some action here.
First of all I will comment on Part 15 Engineer’s post. He may be right, and I can think of 3 or 4 things off the top of my head as examples, Artisan mentioned a couple,  it’s not the place for one forum to bash or slander another forum or especially the owner. What should be concentrated on is…[Read more]

Yes And again I apologize as I don’t understand it either!

As Moderator I don’t know why your post even got flagged for moderation
I agree with you! why?
I was surprised to see this when I saw it was you. I think this happened before too if i am not mistaken. Maybe a glitch in the system? My apologies on behave of Part 15.org.
But I wasn’t even up yet in the morning when you posted so that’s why the…[Read more]

Overkill for a part 15 station but a very impressive amount of gear!

Was looking over some old posts and to add some new found info….1f you want to broadcast and have a transmitter not BETS-1 certified you not only have to apply for a broadcast certificate but NEED A LICENSE FROM THE CRTC! Good luck getting that.
The only way you avoid needing a CRTC license is if the transmitter like the MS-100 is already BETS-1…[Read more]

A VERY good idea!
I as a moderator will ask Admin about this to have a separate category for everyone to list their part 15 stations….format, location, transmitter and other gear, frequency, and where in particular in can be received in a certain town or city. Not just for N. America but any country where you may be. Anyone can go to see the…[Read more]
