Celtic Radio Community > Celtic Radio > Help Us Win Best In World Music!


Posted by: Macfive 07-Apr-2005, 06:20 PM
First there was the Boston Globe article and now we come to learn that Highlander Radio has been nominated for the "Best of World" music catagory for the Best of LIVE365 Awards for 2005!!!

This could mean alot of good publicity if we come in #1 in this category. But even more important would be the fact that the music we listen to gets more attention - the bagpipes, the jigs, the reels, the gaelic verses. What an impression that would be if a Celtic Internet Radio station wins this category.

But we need your help! Please, if you are a preferred member of Live365 then we need your vote!!

The VOTING DEADLINE: April 17th at midnight (PDT)

Vote here for us under the World Catagory:

http://www.live365.com/broadcast/bcawards.live

Winners will be announced at the Live365 Community Summit. The Summit will be in Burlingame, CA (just south of San Francisco) on April 29-May 1. There will be a a great line up of speakers and presentors, panelists and artists at this award presentation.

Please tell your friends, family, neighbors, the guy walking by your house - anyone that has a Live365 preferred account. Even if you would just sign-up for 1 month to get a vote in that would really help get this message out. Feel free to paste this in an email and pass on your lists.

Thank you so much for your help in this!!!

I noticed you can follow the Chicago tradition of "vote early, vote often", so I voted more than once biggrin.gif .

After all the ranting he did in the Politics forum, I hope Shamalama doesn't find this out biggrin.gif ...

I went to the link, but couldn't find a place to vote for Highlander Radio. Perhaps those who have figured it out could post step by step instructions for those of us who are technologically challenged when it comes to Live365.

Hi Mailagnus! I would be happy to help. When you click on this link:

http://www.live365.com/members/login.live?url=/broadcast/bcawards.live

on the right sign in your logname and password and that will take you to all the stations. Scroll down to where it says on the left "World" and on the right right there you will see several stations, one of them being Highlander Radio and click on the dot there. Voila! Hope that helps. wink.gif

Thanks. I must have been asleep earlier, as I had no trouble finding it this time. wink.gif Have now cast my vote.

That's ok Mailagnus! You have helped me a tremondous amount of times and glad to be of service back to ya for once! wink.gif smile.gif

Vote's in.

Got mine in. I can't listen too often at work anymore, but I still tune in when I can... when I know who is monitoring Network traffic that is!

Posted by: Dreamer1 17-Apr-2005, 09:50 AM
My vote's finally in, too! (Just under the deadline, but still valid!) Best of luck Paul and Killian!! walkman.gif king.gif king.gif

Im trying to find out if you won Mac, but cant find it anywhere on the live365 site. does anyone have a link to where the awards are posted? unsure.gif

Posted by: CelticRose 07-May-2005, 07:37 PM
I haven't heard either. Maybe I have been looking at the wrong places. unsure.gif

Posted by: Macfive 07-May-2005, 08:06 PM
Unfortunately, we did not make the Best in World Music - although I am sure that everyone here will agree that we are the best in world music! biggrin.gif

A Salsa/African type station won the best in World Music - although the number of hours logged by this station is only 20% of Highlander Radio. It was a little surprising knowing how many members voted, but in reviewing the details of the contest I did not see any disclaimer that the contest was based solely on votes, etc.

Still, it is an honor that we were nominated as 'Best in World Music' and I do thank everyone for helping make that happen!

Posted by: CelticRose 07-May-2005, 08:50 PM
Thanks Paul for letting us know. What a disappointment we didn't win. sad.gif I am always spreading the word out about Highlander Radio. Is there anything else we can do to get the word out more?

Posted by: bigjimhainey 07-May-2005, 09:23 PM
WE WAS ROBBED!!!

Either live365 is more confused or there has been a recount.
According to the thread at http://forums.live365.com/viewtopic.php?t=22676, the list of winners includes:
World - Highlander Radio (64k mp3PRO)

ok thanks steven. but i went there and this is what i found

World - Highlander Radio (64k mp3PRO)‎

thats what they have listed there. so i dont know if mac got the wrong info, or the person posting there had it wrong.

Posted by: Macfive 26-May-2005, 05:23 PM
Ok, I am feeling rather silly today, but very happy. In the mail today arrived (from Live365) notification that Highlander Radio has won the Best in World Music 2005!! Along with a certificate there is a trophy, in the form of a microphone, engraved with "Highlander Radio Best of World 2005."

Thank you Jim for pointing this out. I should of followed on this thread sooner.

I think this is totally my fault, I was reading the international live365 community forum and there was a message there from one of the other nominee's; but his message was a little misleading and I thought it meant he had won.

I just want to thank everyone that voted for us and to apologize for the confusion. I will post a new message tommorow with all of the details.
