Well despite the last big snow storm (2 feet), our servers stayed on line, considering we lost power for four days after the storm before this one, this is good news. Our four day outage was caused by a very heavy wet snow that took out power lines across the county. Fortunately this storm although deeper was not as heavy. CFR tries very hard to keep our servers in operating condition but since we have a limited budget UPS power is a dream for the future. The only time we take our servers off line on purpose is during the early spring/summer due to increased thunderstorms and lightning and this occurs periodically. So if there’s ever a time you don’t hear us on the air that’s usually why.
We’re happy to announce our play list is increasing due to our staffs diligent perusal of the Internet for new shows to add. We here at CFR work hard at finding quality shows for your enjoyment, we believe that our station has the largest collection of OTR streaming on the Internet at this time and if we don’t we are constantly working to achieve that goal.
We are planning to create a Podcast Show spin off of CFROTR so you can start to download your favorite shows, we wish to please you so we would like suggestions as to what you want to hear. Specialized shows will be on the agenda, and your suggestions will help us to create them. Also we have started to create our link list and have some OTR stations listed as well as other sites dealing with OTR , again your suggestions would be appreciated so drop us a line
We recently took some photos of the inner sanctum of the Studio and we’d like to share them with you, just click on the thumbnails for larger images, here you go
This the server for CFR Durango, the older of our systems and soon to be upgraded, she’s old but hangs in there
This server powers our Old Time Radio station CFROTR, this system was built from scratch a solid home built and runs like a bear.
Last but not least this is our multitrack Podcast studio a newer store bought system that’s made to handle the rigors of audio work. Notice our mascot above the work area, she helps to keep us in line.
Well this is a rare look in to the inner sanctum. We hope you enjoyed it. Soon it will be spring and things will be warming up, until then keep the home fires burning, We’ll blog you later.
