Cool!! We are now a complete radio station, please just don't sell ads.

No ads unless they have something to do with the Culture or from a Musician. We've actually turned down quite a few requests from less than reputable people and websites that wanted to purchase advertising on our site and broadcast.

Working on the news feed a bit past 24 hours. We need to figure out how to raise the volume during the newsfeed. Should have a solution soon.

Of course celtic culture and musicians, that is understood.
I meant stuff that has nothing to do with us.

Our apologies tonight as we were performing a live test of our FSN live feed. If you heard the news play for the past 20 minutes or so it was planned and allowed us to test out some volume adjustments. We are now good to go for music.

I also think we had an issue with our server today, but it resolved with a reboot. Our apologies. Everything is up and running now!

FNS just ate up all of my song requests. Every time my song started FNS came on and I only heard a few seconds of my request. When the next song started FNS came on again! Like every 30 seconds.

Thanks for the update Paul but I just gave up and decided to watch the Mariner's game. Go M's!

Our apologies. We should be all done with that part of the testing.
