107ThePhoenix!

We have a website again, woo!

2010-04-26T20:08:00.002-04:00

Apparently the hardware our site runs on decided it wanted to have some sort of issue on Saturday evening. Maybe it just wanted a weekend off. Hey, you're a robot! OK, technically a computer. You don't get a week off, now get back to work! slacker! The hosting company got it fixed. I don't know if they had a long talk with it, whipped it into shape, or just fired its stupid ass and hired another robot ... OK, fine, computer, happy?, but it's all working again.

Tech Issues -- Website Down

2010-04-25T19:31:00.002-04:00

You've probably already noticed that http://www.107thephoenix.com/ is down. We're working with the website hosting company, and will get the site up and running as soon as possible.

The good news is that the shows are still running and the music is still streaming. How do you get to it, you ask? Simple, we answer! Go to http://loudcity.com/stations/107thephoenix/files/show/listen.html and you'll find all of the familiar tune-in links.

Contact Management with any questions.

Goings On At The Phoenix

2010-04-25T18:25:00.003-04:00

We've been a bit remiss lately, so here's a batch of updates to get everyone caught up with recent changes at 107ThePhoenix.

Have you been missing your morning fix with the Music Marathon on weekday mornings? Don't worry, Brian Ford is still putting out a great mix of music, just at a new time. Catch the Music Marathon on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm Eastern, and get an extra dose on Saturdays from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Brian Ford will be bringing you the same great mix of music, including your requests, so get in touch with him and let him know what you want to hear.

Alas, we're going to be without The Chosen One's special charm for the next couple of weeks, as he takes care of moving and getting the studio set up in his new digs. We'll let you know when The Extreme Shakedown is ready to make its return to the air, so watch this spot to be in the know!

Don't think you can make it through your Monday afternoon without some help from the Phoenix? We wouldn't leave you hanging. Tennesee Chad will be doing a special edition of the All 'Afternoon' Cafe tomorrow from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm, so be sure to tune in and give him a holler.

Positive Connection Schedule

2010-02-07T13:27:00.002-05:00

There will be no Positive Connection tonight or next Sunday night (the 14th), because our host Wonderdog has other commitments. However, you can still get a double dose of the Positive Connection on Monday and Tuesday night each week.

Monday night Wonderdog will be bringing you the usual Monday night mix, including the dramas. Tuesday night will be a make-up of Sunday's show, starting at 6:00 pm Eastern, and will include the Faith Top 30. So tune in and get your positivity fix each week!

The Tuesday Night 80's Craze will return on February 23rd when Wonderdog returns to his regular schedule.

Thanks for listening!

Updates, Updates, Updates!

2010-01-24T16:13:00.003-05:00

It's a new year, and there are plenty of new changes at 107ThePhoenix!

Most importantly, we have several new shows. You can now start your weekdays with Brian Ford and the Music Marathon, running Monday through Friday, 6:00 am to 10:00 am Eastern. Next, Tadd Michaels takes you through the rest of the morning with Mid-Days with Tadd on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Don't worry, Lucky Lady steps in to cover the rest of your mid-days with the Country Round-Up on Tuesdays and A Walk Down Memory Lane on Thursdays till 2:00 pm. And don't forget the rest of the great shows that keep the music flowing into the evenings and right through the weekend! Check out the broadcast schedule on the site for all the details.

We've got plenty of options for listening to the station listed on our Tune In page, but now we've added one more! If you can't or don't want to launch a player (e.g. winamp or Windows Media Player), you can listen right in the browser. Just go to our station page on LoudCity.com and click on the Tune In button.

There are lots of ways to keep in touch with us at 107ThePhoenix, including Windows Live Messenger (add talk@107thephoenix.com to your contacts), email (check the Talk to Us page on the site), and now Twitter! You can also find our DJ's in the DJ Break Room on New Visions Network during their shows. We're proud to be partnered with NVN, a group of blind and visually impaired individuals who enjoy spending time learning, playing and chatting with each other. Check out the schedule on their site to find out about the seminars, games, and tournaments you can participate in each week.

So that's it for now, but stay tuned for more updates as the station continues to grow.

Thanks for listening!

Server issues

2007-10-19T14:27:00.000-04:00

Apparently our servers are down, the company's site doesn't come up either. I'm guessing they've had an outage. We'll post to the blog as soon as we know that they're back up.

Alan Young does a half hour of damn fine Celtic music

2007-09-22T13:52:00.000-04:00

On Friday, Sep. 21, Alan Young did a half hour of Celtic music to end his show, Breakfast With Alan. He's archived it, and now it's available for all of you to enjoy, if you missed it, or want to hear it again! Plus, if you enjoy it, and who wouldn't?, it's a regular feature. So stay up late or get up early, or take some time out of your afternoon for those of you not in the US, and check out Breakfast With Alan. You'll be glad you did. Now, get ready to enjoy Alan's Celtic Half Hour!

Ventrilo, World of Warcraft, being banned

2007-09-19T16:12:00.000-04:00

Well, we've found another issue, namely that people feel the need to use our Ventrilo server as a World of Warcraft playground, and it doesn't seem to be going away. For now, here's what's happening.

We'll be watching for people, and banning them. What this means for you as a listener is, well, if you come on and a DJ or somebody talks to you, at least say hi or something. If your Ventrilo isn't working or something, get in touch with msn or such and let somebody know so we can try to fix it. Once you get banned it's a chunk of work to unban you, and I'm not too inclined to go chasing down bans. Just in case, if you have a friend or such who plays WOW and they get banned, let me be blunt, I don't care. This server's for the station and the listeners, not morons to use for their online gaming. Ventrilo's pretty cheap, if they want to do that, they can go pay for their own server.

So basically, it's really pretty unlikely any actual listener will have problems. But now you know what's going on and how not to get banned, heh.

The team's been at it again

2007-09-08T02:56:00.000-04:00

Well kids, the team's been at it again, and we've now got Ventrilo chat! We're trying it for a month to see how it goes. None of us have ever used Ventrilo before, so if we screw it up, be nice! :) Thanks to our dedicated webmistress, the link is up right now for you to check it out. Of course, nobody's likely to be on unless a show is taking place, but still ...

So go to the site, grab the Ventrilo client that matches your operating system and get it set up, and click on the link to talk to us live. If you need help with getting ventrilo set up, ask the current dj or email management.

UPDATE!

Thanks again to our awesome webmistress, and the inept writing of yours truly, we've got basic setup tips to get you started with Ventrilo. Feel free to mail us with suggestions for improvements, since I wrote them they could probably use it.

Stonewolf is doing covers

2007-09-07T18:28:00.000-04:00

This Sunday on Stonewolf's Accident Waiting to happen, it's all covers! Some good, some horrible, some funny, but all covers. Plus, there are rumors he'll be archiving the show, in case you miss it. But do try to catch it, because he does a damn fine show.

New site, new servers

2007-09-06T14:26:00.000-04:00

Well, after lots of work, the new site and the new servers are up and running, yes, even dialup! We support a lot more players now, we've got links to them on the listen page if you don't have one, there's a clock showing current Eastern time on the schedule page, so you can figure out just how the schedule relates to your own timezone. Then there's this blog, of course. If you encounter any problems with the site or the servers, please get in touch with management. Hopefully buffering and strange speed issues and such are a thing of the past. Finally, I'd like to thank everybody for all the hard work they put in to get this done as quickly as possible.

Lots of updates

2007-09-05T03:01:00.000-04:00

Welcome to our new blog! This is one of the updates, a place to go for, well what else, updates! I'm your host, DJ Khomus. Lots of updates, so let's get to it.

The Chosen One has been having internet issues, so in case he's not doing a show, that's why. He's getting newer and hopefully better service in a couple weeks, but hopefully his current service will work well enough that he can do some shows.

Speaking of things not working, have you noticed the dialup stream is either dead or sounds like chipmunks? Have you noticed that the broadband stream sometimes buffers and skips like it's off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz? Well if you have, and you've been wondering about it, rest assured that we've noticed it as well. We've been taking the time to find a better stream hosting company, and we think we've finally done it. Work will hopefully be completed on migrating the station to the new host in a day, and there will be changes to the site as well, so check it out.

If you normally go to the site to click and listen, this doesn't mean anything to you except hopefully better broadband and a working dialup stream, which, come to think of it, is really quite a lot. But if you generally play the station from winamp or windows media player or whatever, then you'll have to go to the site and click on the listen link, because the address to the streams will be changing. After that, you should be able to play it from within your application again, the way you used to.
