A Note From The Station Owner

Friends, I do apologize for the issues as of late with my station. I'm working on getting it more stable. I am looking at a new hosting provider currently so hopefully by the weekend, station responsibilities will be transferred over. The transfer should be transparent to you, the listener. 

It's a shame because I've been with this provider for a number of years now and they have been pretty good to me throughout this entire time but here recently, things have occurred that, I feel, have caused me listener damage. So I am taking this time to chose carefully, but at the same time, a choice that won't damage my wallet too much. Hopefully then, I can start rebuilding listeners again and listener confidence again. Listeners have come to expect the Classic Radio Hour every night, and it's my responsibility to ensure that the Classic Radio Hours airs every night. But, first things first and that is to secure a new hosting provider on the SHOUTcast Radio Network. 

The hosting provider that I'm currently eyeing appears to provide a free Android app with it's hosting service, which is awesome. Unfortunately no iPhone app but I can work on that down the road. But as always, I thank you so much for listening, and just as much, I thank you for your patience while this transition from current to new provider takes place.

At the present time, their technical support staff is working on my stream. So my stream may be up and down over the next day or 2 so there will be hiccups during the next 24 - 48 hours. But this is in preparation for Old Time Radio USA's "24/7" stream coming this Thanksgiving!

Thank you for your patience and your continued support!
