Over the years we have obtained a dedicated group of loyal listeners that appreciate nostalgia and keeping the past alive for entertainment and educational purposes. Our biggest audience outside of the US is The UK and Germany and we had north of 200,000 listener hours per month, not including on air services, before getting cancelled by big woke tek in June 2021. We are a small operation and are doing what we can to get our listeners back.
We have been using Shoutcast compatible encoding since day 1 and it will work with almost any MP3 type player. Our primary stream operates in mono at 64kbps. This is the equivalent of a 128kbps stereo feed. Since all of our material is mono it would be a waste to send out stereo (or dual mono) which would otherwise be plagued with noise and phasing problems if the encoder was stereo. The above link will launch your Winamp player or other /.pls device.
In addition to our music service we also operate a 24-7 Old Time Radio service with about 100 different shows. Scroll down to see our schedule....
Lori manages what we can and can't spend and takes care of all the non technical aspects of the 1920s Radio Network. She has cystic fibrosis and requires frequent hospitalization.
Brian takes care of all technical operations, automation, routing, IT, and engineering.
Lori has helped us out for years; she's the one you hear doing the time announcements, Old Time Radio, and many others. Lori also had cystic fibrosis and sadly she left us Christmas of 2012. She was only 32. In her memory we keep her voice alive. She would have wanted that.
