My local Xmas station is on the web

[GingerMel]

Hey guys, my local radio station that I listen to every year (starting the first monday in November) is broadcasting on the web. It's commercial free too. They have weather and traffic now and then, but it's mainly just Christmas music. It's fairly easy listening-type of stuff, but they do play some really good stuff too.

I thought you guys might want to know about it...or at least some of you.

It's Easy88.org.

I'm not sure how to get it to work over the computer because I just listen to it on the radio all day.

listening now....sounds good

[GingerMel]

Awesome! I'm glad you like it.

[Christy Carol]

thank you! I am going to check it out now.

edited to add: I am tuning in now. Its playing a Kenny Rogers song I have never heard before!! Thanks again!

[GingerMel]

Awesome! I should have posted this sooner I guess!

You guys can listen to it next year too...they do it every year. I think it starts the first Monday in November and runs through Christmas day.

Not many commercials and it seems to stream and buffer better than many other online stations. I can work with other apps and not have pauses and skips in the music

[GingerMel]

Also they just played some really neat songs a few minutes ago.

I really enjoy this station, except for the Anne Murray. Dear lord I can't stand her. That...and the Christmas shoes song. It's my secretary's favorite song...but I about died when she told me. Oh man...CORNY.

Be nice if they could webcast 365 24/7 I want to hear Saturday night bandstand

[GingerMel]

I not sure that they don't actually.

Email them and ask. Sam responds to email fairly quickly (he's gone for the day, but you'd probably get an answer tomorrow).

[sheepsnot]

I'm jamming to it right now. Nothing like eating up the company's bandwidth.

[GingerMel]

Ha hah. That's awesome. Silver and gold...silver and gold...

I shall.....they sort of hint that they do webcast year around in commercials.

[GingerMel]

That's what I think too.

[Ervserver]

They mention Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede a lot, is this a brassiere shop?

[Christy Carol]

LOL!! No, its one of those dinner theatres. Good guess though!!!! :lol:

[sheepsnot]

You'd love the DPDS. No silverware. Eat whole hens with your hands and watch buffalo and horses and such. Really entertaining.

[Ervserver]

sounds like Dolly throws a good hootinanny

[sheepsnot]

I wonder how often she actually shows up except on the big screen TVs there.

[Ervserver]

ever run into people like her or others at Wal Mart or the Burger King?

[sheepsnot]

I saw Lee Greenwood at the airport. Short fella. Not nice to his entourage, either.

[Ervserver]

Lee needed an eggnog

[GingerMel]

I worked at Opryland the summer that Lee Greenwood sang there every day.

Twice a day I had to hear his rendition of "Proud to be an American". I don't hate the song...but if you hear something twice a day for an entire summer...well it gets old really quickly.

I thought that Dolly Parton was fairly hands-on with that stuff up there (theme park and Dixie Stampede).

Anyone listening to the station today? They're playing Harry Connick, Jr. right now.

[Christy Carol]

I can sympathize with ya over that song...our country Clear Channel station plays it every morning at the same time. Its not that I am not proud to be an American but you can set your clock to that song being played. Kinda takes the meaning out of it to me.

Harry Connick you say? mmmmmmmm!! :D

[Ervserver]

Clear Channel overkills an effort to portray themselves as patriotic. Now if they played Christmas music more they could be warm and inviting and have more listeners and not have to sell stations that are losing money

[Christy Carol]

I am on a full fledged Clear Channel boycott. While I may not make a difference atleast I am standing by my principals.

[Ervserver]

YOU GO GIRL !
