Radio back online… minor coup about to be announced

January 9, 2004

Abacast is gone; the radio station is back online and accepting listeners. Life is good. Life will be even better soon… stay tuned for an announcement. We just may have scored permission to broadcast an incredible weekly show… exclusively…!

P2P nightmare

January 7, 2004

Gawddamn those dorks at Abacast. On December 22 my radio station got derailed. Somebody dropped the ball during the transition from the November billing period to the December one, and my servers essentially got “deleted”. It has now been two weeks since the problem was reported, and I still have no service. 10 listeners can [...]

Launch delayed…

November 12, 2003

Broadwayworld Radio’s launch has been delayed until Monday. This is purely a publicity strategy: Rosie O’Donnell’s much-discussed production of Taboo opens tomorrow night, and it’s sure to be a media firestorm (at least in New York, where Rosie seems to have transitioned from Wonderfully Selfless Theatre Supporter to Evil Domineering Bulldyke in less than a [...]

An open letter to everyone who bitches about free Internet radio

November 11, 2003

You know who you are. Let me describe, for you, what I think the implications are when a service (such as Internet radio) is provided for free to listeners all around the world. When I pay out of my pocket to give you something for free, I owe you nothing. In fact, you owe me, [...]

If a radio station is broadcasting and nobody’s there to hear it…

October 26, 2003

Things are all set up for the launch of Broadwayworld Radio (formerly Modern Broadway). I’ve been broadcasting steadily for almost a week; the player window is essentially finalized (heck — you can even take a look at it, even though you won’t get anything but CD information and a stream error…). Now all I’m waiting [...]

Speedbumps and last-minute cheapness

October 16, 2003

I had really hoped to have the radio station running, for the benefit of all mankind, by this morning — nothing fancy, mind you; just a commercial-free, station-ID-free stream of tunes to show that I haven’t been sitting on my arse for the past several months. I have two problems. The first is that my [...]

Broadway radio on the move

October 14, 2003

After a Thanksgiving weekend spent mostly in front of a computer, I can safely say that we’re several steps closer to having Modern Broadway morph into Broadwayworld Radio. There are a couple of pieces missing: first, I have to wait until payday before I upgrade my broadcasting package to the professional version; second, I have [...]

We now pause for a message from our radio station

July 28, 2003

Thought it would be nice to take a break from the stress of producing musical theatre to update the world on the goings-on with Modern Broadway. The summary: it’s time to get the station off Live365 and start trying to recover the costs of operating it — or more. Though many of its broadcasting customers [...]

Another milestone bites the dust

March 6, 2003

I have to celebrate this one now because it will undoubtedly be fleeting: as of yesterday, Modern Broadway is the number one station in the “other” genre on Live365! If it lasts, you can see for yourself here. Just the other day I was looking through Really Old Blog Posts and found ones where I [...]
