Morning and Afternoon News Mashup on “Live” (Main Stream)

Mornings

Afternoons

Times are approximate

Background

The morning and afternoon mashup started airing on the main stream Radio InfoWeb Live in late 2016. The programs are slated to move to the Radio InfoWeb Studio2 stream. In the two years since its’ inception, lamestream media has become more salacious, and more politically contentious, biased, and ugly, leading many listeners to tune out. Attempts to moderate the news coming from the lamestream have failed, leading to the planned change. The programs will be replaced by music programming, and Rex Latchford’s “Moaning Emissions” program will continue solo. On Studio2, no attempt will be made to tone down the ugliness, anger, and obsession for those with an appetite for that aspect of lamestream news. In contrast, the non-lamestream “Democracy Now!” which is often biased and contentious in a different direction, airs at 2pm, 8pm, and 2am Eastern on Studio2.

Listeners Gain Control of the Station

Listeners to RadioInfoWeb’s main stream now can control some aspects of the programming in real-time, with more to come. This is made possible by alien technology implemented by our extraterrestrial Chief Engineer, known affectionately as “Doctor Octopus” (although he has far more than eight tentacles).

Newscast Requests

Listeners can now request newscasts. Once the request is made, the newscast will occur on the next station break. If a newscast has already been broadcast recently, the request will be deferred for a period of time.

As a result of this new feature, regularly scheduled newscasts have been cut back to a bare minimum. Thus, newscasts will only be heard when wanted. More music and fun!

Brain Candies

Brain candies are aural treats meant to stimulate the space center of the brain. These treats are HIGHLY recommended for space travellers, such as Radio InfoWeb listeners, and misguided bureaucrats who need to get straightened out.

Listeners are advised not to over-indulge in brain candies. Doing so could be bad for your waistline. Remember that when listening for long periods of time, you should periodically get up and do ecstacises, such as InfloWebs and OutfloWebs.

How To

Listeners will know how to make use of these controls.

It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Don’t Make that Ding

Apologies to Duke Ellington.

You might have heard a new sound on the main program stream… “click ding”. It’s a new feature, and it sounds at :59 minutes past the hour in the morning and during the day (New York Time). It should reach your ear somewhere between :00 and :01 (after buffering at the server and your receiving device).

Because the main stream is programmed as a “super station” for people who like to keep a buzz on, we know you may have issues with keeping track of time. I know I do sometimes. Maybe even more often than that. I can get lost in work, in space, or both. It’s OK, Radio InfoWeb is on it. During the morning and afternoon, there are plenty of time checks, and the “ding” should help too, especially during those long sets. When you hear it, look up and if your clock doesn’t indicate the top of the hour, then what you’re hearing has gotten out of sync with real time. If you care (it’s OK if you don’t), you can resync by stopping the stream (not pausing), and then starting. If you’re listening through a web browser, you might have to refresh the page, or perhaps even close out the tab or window, and come all the way back in. It’s just a matter of how your browser handles audio streaming.

What’s a “super station? Glad you asked. It’s a classification that developed during the golden days of terrestrial (that is, not Internet) radio. A “superstation” is a station that “does it all” – News, Music, Time, Weather, Features, Public Service, and whatever else listeners might find handy. As I mentioned above, Radio InfoWeb’s main stream is programmed as a super station for people who like to keep a buzz on.

If “super” isn’t so “super” for you, then try tuning into Radio InfoWeb World. That’s a stream with the same music programming as the main stream, only minus all the “super station” stuff. It’s a little less lively, and it’s not tuned to the time of day (in New York City). It does have (approximately) hourly newscasts though, albeit from a darker and more questionable source (the US Government). This feed was also designed as a convenient pick-up and filler-inner for pirate or other terrestrial radio stations. Cool, huh?

On the other hand, we put the max TLC into the “main stream” including every effort to keep the fidelity as high as possible (so we won’t kill your buzz by paining your ears that way). The new 128/192K Vorbis stream does just that. Sweetness for your ears.

Thanks for listening! If you’d like to contact us, all you have to do is listen. The info is given out regularly for those who care.

See you ’round the Galaxy!

The Fourth Tower of Inverness Starts 12/25

Share the Christmas Gift that keeps on giving… at least for 14 weeks! The Fourth Tower of Inverness, the daily weekday psycho-spiritual fantasy serial starts Christmas day, December 25th. Join Jack, the Madonna Vampira, Little Freida, and the rest of the way-out denizens of Inverness as they once again go beyond the limits of mundane physical reality.

For air times on the main stream (only), listen for announcements and stay tuned to this website!

Note to those doing the math: The first two episodes will air Thursday, 12/25 and Friday, 12/26. The series will then start in earnest Monday, 12/29 to synchronize with the program. Most likely, the entire first week will also air as a half-hour (or so) special on Christmas Weekend.

You Missed Morning Emissions AGAIN?!?

Morning Emissions rode again this morning from about 7:30am to a little after 9am Eastern (we started a half hour early). In addition to the wake-and-bake, and salutes-to-coffee, we listened to some awesome Jazz, some Pop Funk, and some Space Prog… and shared our waking consciousness.

My producer Minka made me write this, but seriously, usually we’re having too much fun to post to the blog or even tweeter. So what are you doing reading the same old junk and looking at cat pictures when you could be listening to some awesome morning wake-and-bake fun (while you read the same old junk and look at cat pictures)? This is 2014! Wake up… and tune in to Internet radio. Tune into, and get your dose of, Morning Emissions. Most mornings. 8-9 New York time, and rebroadcast most of the time at around 11AM. Sometimes later. Till then!
