    Internet Radio - A Complex Process

    Internet Radio - A Complex Process

    At approximately 4:30pm yesterday afternoon, Edgewater Gold Radio along with hundreds of other internet stations went off the air. It wasn't anything wrong with our system but once the signal leaves the studio, it's subject to many processes that are beyond an internet radio owners control. Our encoded signal leaves my computer and goes directly to Live 365, our service provider where it's distributed to many servers in different locations. If something goes wrong with any of

The Who's Tommy" producers Hal Luftig and Patrick Catullo have announced that the iconic rock musical will return to Broadway in 2021.

    Chicago Eight Show Las Vegas Residency

    Chicago was one of my favorite bands during my college days and even today. I'm glad to hear that they are still going strong and doing an 8 day Las Vegas residency. Here's the story from RTT Music News. Chicago have announced plans for a new eight-show Las Vegas residency at The Venetian Theatre next year.

    Music and Memories

    Music and Memories

    Music and memories go hand in hand. Most memories can be associated with a certain song or songs. When I hear the song Wedding Bell Blues by the Fifth Dimension I associate with the death of my Grandfather in September 1969. We were driving to the airport to pick up my Aunt who lived in Kansas City, Missouri . She was coming to attend the funeral. As we were driving, this song was playing on the radio. It was high on the charts at the time and I always associated it with my G
    The Beatles Still Live on!

    The Beatles Still Live on!

    When I see a young student singing a Beatles tune, first I become baffled. I always stop to ask how they know of The Beatles. Almost all of the time, they tell me "dad or mom likes them and I hear their songs all the time." or my Grandmother or Grandfather likes them." Now there will be a new Beatles singles box set released. Here's the latest from RTT Music News. Music legends The Beatles have announced a newly remastered reissue of 46 of their most widely beloved singles. T
    Running an Internet Radio Station Takes Time And Patience

    Running an Internet Radio Station Takes Time And Patience

    If you make the commitment to start an internet radio station, it will only be worth you while if you plan carefully and commit to the time necessary to run the station efficiently. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. There are so many radio stations both internet and terrestrial that really don't serve their purpose at all. The operators remain complacent after the station is on the air. First of all, determine who your audience will be and stick to it. Develop programming that se
    When Things Get Rough, Stay The Course

    When Things Get Rough, Stay The Course

    If you have the passion and the persistence, then just keep going. That's my advice to the operators of internet radio stations. I first started Edgewater Gold Radio back on 2002 when myself and many others didn't even know what we were getting into. The audience began to grow but so did the problems. The biggest one was the increasing cost of royalty payments. I kept working with my provider, Live 365. Luckily I was to keep going with barely affordable payments for services
    Abbey Road Back on Top

    Abbey Road Back on Top

    Abbey Road is back on top for the first time in 49 years! Here's the story from RTT Music News. The Beatles' Abbey Road has returned to the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart for the first time since 1970, spiking from No. 71 to No. 3. The album, which was reissued on September 27 to mark its 50th anniversary, logged 81,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending October 3, soaring 803% from a week earlier. 70,000 of that sum came in album sales, a rise of a who

    MY Opinion - LPFM Rules are Restrictive and May Be Counter Productive!

    I always tell myself to limit social media to just a few minutes per day. Sometimes, it's difficult to do given the political climate in this country. As most of you know, I'm very passionate about radio. LPFM (Low Power FM) is a social media board that I sometimes follow. The board is run by an administrator that's passionate about LPFM but seems not to like any opinion that doesn't coincide with her line of thinking. It's seems that all she does is spew out rules and regula
    Internet Radio and Server Maintenance

    Internet Radio and Server Maintenance

    Maintenance to servers is a necessary function but sometimes this maintenance and cause a service disruption. Live 365 our service provider performs maintenance on the servers periodically. Internet radio stations using Live 365 are always notified on a timely basis. Last night maintenance on the servers for Edgewater Gold Radio was performed by Live 365 at 5am eastern time. This morning, I noticed an unusually low listener count and my stream was cutting off several times. T
