Friday, October 29th, 2004

At 12 random times throughout the month of November, Aimee & I will be freezing the listener list to see which IPs are tuned in and how many hours, minutes or DAYS, they have been listening. The listeners with the most accumulated hours for those 12 random samplings will win prizes and our […]

BBC Broadcaster & Music Aficionado John Peel Died Today

Tuesday, October 26th, 2004

We will be observing a moment of silence tonight, just before Midnight CST, in memory of someone very important to the music world and someone who should be an idol in the radio industry. John Peel will be missed by many, but he has left this world a better place because of the time […]

In an email from Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker frontman David Lowery himself, we will be catching up with CVB during their tour stop in Milwaukee this Wednesday night.

One Week Left To Register for the November Listener Contest!

Sunday, October 24th, 2004

The October issue of the Transmitter hit email boxes over a week ago and of the 105 people who actually opened the email, less than 10 have completed the simple process of registering for the November contest. I guess that means odds are goods that most, if not all, will win something! If […]

This morning I read about this iPod knock-off which now comes standard with Wi-Fi. That means […]

Aimee and I want to use this forum to thank Dan Hower. Back when he was just a young punk, between 1982 and 1988, him and his friend would record their adventures in the arcades near them in Ithaca and Albany NY. Now, as an older more mature gentlemen Dan posted […]

Requests & Emails

Monday, October 4th, 2004

The Request A Song search options are broken, as of this morning. Seems that after I cleared out the previous database of songs, the new MySQL update was not happy with the old process. I’m hoping to get some help with it by tomorrow, so don’t give up. We officially have over 6,200 […]

Help Support 80s Airwaves for just $29.95

Friday, October 1st, 2004

An email will be going out tomorrow to a small group of people who’ve expressed an interest in supporting 80s Airwaves. More than likely, these are listeners who also have products, services or media releases that would appeal to a global audience. We have held off until now to really promote the sponsorship […]
