We have a few issues to sort out at the studio and I need to discuss with Nick
further how he wants it to work. Neither of these will happen till probably
Wednesday evening as am waiting for stuff to arrive in the post.

Ok, have just asked tune in to play Hastings rock, and have listened to
the jingle, and that's all, Nick, are we in a position yet to start the
pre-broadcast stream? If so, let's get it going, and then Sarah can
drop that out to social media and perhaps Simon, or Sarah, can pop,it
up on the web site as well, so people can start listened get in, and
getting their "tech" ready, given the ammout of aggravation we have
with people unable to listen to the stream when we first come on, would
be good to get these wrinkles ironed out before hand.... 😄

Just to let you know we are now available on the Reciva internet
Pure, vtuner or Frontier Silicon though I know Jon has contacted the
latter.
Thoughts please.

As promised I have sent a request for us to be added to the
all sorts of conditions which I have done, so I hope we have the music
Internet Radio Portals:Reciva, Pure
Internet Radio Apps: Streema, vtuner, tunein
The most onerous of these being tunein where you have to sign up to
license to cover this? They also put advertising in the stream, at
least at the start so I find it rather irritating in my view.
which provide the chips in current Roberts sets (and others). As
The only major player I have problems with are Frontier Silicon,
Roberts is quite a popular make I think Frontier should be contacted.
The trouble is you have to have a set and I do not have one. My Roberts
has a Receva chipset so I can (have) added us to their database but I
cannot add us to Frontier.
Frontier Silicon technology, then here is the link to set up an account

help and if/when you have completed the task.

The other big portal here in the UK is Radio Player. I contacted
could not come down due to agreements with those who funded it in the
first place (BBC and major commercial players) even though we are only
on a short time. However, it might be good for us to be there as its UK
based (none of the apps listed above are) and carries no advertising -
except any the station itself chooses to add. It is also heavily
promoted so is perhaps not a lot of money in the overall scheme of
things. I have not done so as yet but will contact them again if you
wish? Perhaps we could get someone to sponsor it, then we would have to
add our own message at the start! Thoughts please.
we cannot cover them all so listeners will have to add us themselves if

There are loads of portals for TVs and other connected devices but
they want to use anything a bit obscure. We will only cover the major
players.
far.
So just a matter of waiting for a response from those contacted so
providing audio and to get in touch but i assume simon has done that by

Hi all,
Back a good number of meetings ago we agreed to put a "placeholder"
it.audio recording on our web server and point the Internet streams at
That way anyone tuning in outside the broadcast would get a helpful
seamlesslyditty explaining we're not on air and when we are on air, we
toswitch it over to the live feed. This also means Simon doesn't have
(which iskeep updating TuneIn etc. with new feeds every year.
I think this was left with me to (technically) make it happen
actuallyprobably why it's not come up again) however we need someone to
it'smake said ident such that I actually implement this. It's probably
because no one individual actually got this part of the job that
thisfallen off the radar. Anyway, since we're now going ahead I think
you, itneeds to be done as a matter of urgency since as Simon will tell
it'lltakes some time for the Internet radio servers to catch up. Plus
weserve as a bit of self promotion should anyone actually tune it as
yep,can tell them when we are actually on air....
In other news, I dug out the server from the loft yesterday and
Oneit's packed up. So I'm going to need to buy a new machine now....
elseday things will just work when I dig them out of mothballs (anyone
powermiss "toaster", than old 266 lasted for years and was practically
indestructible, the only thing that finally did for it was dodgy
underat the Robert). I should be able to get something suitable for
£100 if that's ok everyone?
