Problems Connecting at Bob Jones - February 5, 2007

To all of our BJU listeners who have been unable to connect, rest assured the music checks :-). Actually - the problem is we were too popular and using too much bandwidth, so BJU IT is working on bringing us back, but their first priority is to manage their bandwidth…50 listeners @ 48kbps = 2.5 mbps of data! Word is it will be fixed by summer…

All Clear! - November 24, 2006

Thank you to all of our listeners who have endured through our week of disconnects, bad links, and more. We’ve been having problems at our main site and so have moved to our new internet broadcast hub. Checking the logs, we’ve had uninterrupted broadcasts for the last 24 hours - which is far better than our last site :-). We’re also running our new expanded library - almost 2,000 tracks of Conservative Christian Music! And, we’ve finally gotten our new Christmas radio station launched with Truth 1270! So enjoy this Christmas season, and keep listening!

Site Downage & More Music - November 20, 2006

UpSnap & AbidingRadio - November 6, 2006

To use this service, users just send a text message to 27627 containing your station’s keyword, which is “ABIDING”. They’ll then receive a text message response indicating that they’ve subscribed to your station at $1.99/month and asking them to text “Y” to confirm their purchase. (This only happens the first time that they use this service.) When they respond with that confirmation, we send them a message containing an embedded phone number. At that point, the user just hits the Send button on their phone to be automatically connected to the station. From then on, all they have to do to listen is send us the keyword again and we’ll respond with the phone number link. Hit Send and you are connected.
