Get Ready for the Launch!



Well, we are just days away from the big launch of RadioCitrus.com. I finally have a decent computer running the automated loop, which you should be getting a sneak peak of right now.

If you'd like to submit any content for the show, or for the automated loop, please submit it via the link above (the one that says "Send us your MP3 creation," yeah, that one).

Don't forget to put it in your cell phone calendar: Friday, May 1, 2009 at 9:00 PM Eastern. For you clowns in California, that's starting at 6 PM.

In the meantime, the phone lines are open if you have something to say, and just can't wait to say it live on Friday ...

Our impromptu, late-night beta test of Radio Citrus a few weeks ago was a success! I've been playing with the audio for some time now, but I hadn't "gone live" yet.

Thanks to Steve in Virginia for calling in. And a big thanks to the dedicated group of YTMND's Gabbly chat who all tuned in. It's good to know America's next generation spends the wee hours of the morning discussing "how easy shoplifting is."

As for the format of the programming, here's what I have in mind: Live shows in the evenings, probably once a week. I'll try to repeat a tape delay of the live show on other non-live nights of the week. It will let you can go back and hear yourself and friends on-air.

During the day, I've got a real $7.50/hr job to go to.

So I'll have the station on an automated loop with some pre-recorded hosting. It's lame, but no worse than what most real radio stations play during the day. I can also clip the "best of" the live shows and throw that into the mix during the day.

Also: Feel free to keep e-mailing your rants, remixes, and whatever to radiocitrus@gmail.com.

We Launch May 1, 2009

Thanks to everybody for riding out the site redesign. It should now be much easier to use. Plus it allows you to flip between pages without interrupting the steam, but not the pages above. There's not a whole lot I can do about those without giving you an annoying pop-up. And who likes pop ups?

For those of you stopping by for the first time, welcome to Radio Citrus!

As you can see, we've been working hard. And now with "dozens of dollars" worth of equipment, we are getting close to launch time!

On May 1st we plan to unleash the world's worst radio station on the world. It's based on YTMND.com, which is probably the world's worst web site. Seconded only by YouTube.

The goal is to showcase your non-copyrighted work on the radio. Frankly, the real radio is dying of boredom. I know. I work in it. So, our goal is to break loose from the chains of formatting and "popular" music.

Over the month of April the stream will be up and down several times as I get ready for the launch. Everything should be "go flight" for May 1st. We'll do our first live-show which will allow you to call in and be on the radio live. I have really mixed feelings about this, so we'll see how it goes. It should be a lot of fun.

In the meantime, if you see any YTMNDs or YouTube videos that have great audio (that isn't copyrighted) please e-mail me so I can get it on the playlist. You can also send more of your audio rants to that address as well.
