The Rockin' WAVES 11294 Radio Network!

Well, we are well into the holiday season and with that we have made some updates to the website both cosmetically and internally.

First off, on the non-seeing side, we updated the editor and the layout to make everything more accessible and user friendly.

That’s about it on the non-seeing side.

Other changes we made was the addition of DJ Bios! That’s right! Now when you click the DJ Bios tab, it’ll take you to a page that features pictures of all of us and all you have to do it click on a DJ and it’ll take you to their bio! The DJ Bio page is currently being built so not all the DJ’s are on there yet but eventually, we will try and have all the DJ’s on there.

Also, if you have been listening for a long time, back after BlogTV shutdown, we moved to Ustream. We even had a page here on the website where you just had to click and you were tuned in. Well, recently, Ustream changed to IBM Cloud Video and you now have to pay a ridiculous amount to stream on there. Because of that, we deleted our account and therefore, deleted the site page that went with it. But, shouldn’t be too much of a change because you guys haven’t seen the page in about 3 years lol.

In addition to all this, we have updated the schedule, links page and we are also looking at more ways to make the website look better and work better for you! There is still a lot of work left to do so keep checking back for more!

Now, in addition to the website, the station has really been doing fantastic on the listening side of things! We have had ALOT of listeners tuned in recently and we appreciate everyone that has listened into the Holiday of Rockin! The holiday music will continue until December 26th when we will sign off for a couple of hours for maintenance and then will sign back on within a couple of hours.

Coming up also is the New Year’s Eve All Stereo Marathon! We are really excited about it and we have a lot of great programming coming up!

Also, want to take this time to welcome DJ Sizzlin’ Sarah to the Rockin WAVES Team! She is, like a lot of our air staff, an ABS Graduate! Be sure to check her out on Saturday nights at 10 PM Eastern!

Well, that about does it for this update, in case I don’t make another post before then, I want to take this time to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at Rockin WAVES 11294!

Keep on Rockin!
– Chris

It’s the biggest time of year for Rockin WAVES and the holidays are officially here! All the DJ’s here at Rockin WAVES usually have the most fun during the holidays and it really comes out during the shows! To help celebrate the holiday season, we are going to be airing some classic holiday specials on the iVlog channel. Call it a Rockin WAVES Christmas Theatre if you will. Below are the dates when you can catch the Christmas specials and what we will be showing. Each week it will be an hour long so be sure to tune in! The start time is 8 PM and here is what we will be showing!

December 4th: WKRP in Cincinnati (Christmas Episode), A Garfield Christmas
December 11th: WKRP in Cincinnati (Christmas Episode), A Charlie Brown Christmas
December 18th: Mickey’s Christmas Carol

All those shows (with the exception of WKRP In Cincinnati) I taped myself back in the 90s so it will be a real treat to go back in time to the 90s and relive some of the classic shows and commercials with it!

Also, we have changed formats to Holiday on the Shoutcast which means if you are listening to us on Winamp or other devices, you may need to redownload the links to the player info on our listen live page. If the info you previously downloaded still works, then your good to go!

Thank you very much for listening in! We are looking forward to Christmas this year and we hope you are too! More to come during the holiday season with special shows and everything else! In the meantime, Keep on Rockin!

Hey everyone!

Talk about a lack of updates! Nearly 2 months have gone by! Well, we have a new show that will be starting on Rockin WAVES on Mondays, he is known as “The Iceman” and he is well known in the country music scene and we are now bringing him to Rockin WAVES! So be sure to tune in on Mondays at 6 PM for Prime Time with The Iceman!

We are heading toward the holidays and many people are wondering if we have any special holiday programming. BOY DO WE!

For Halloween fast approaching, we are currently adding more spooky and halloween songs to the rotation and giving it more airplay.

For Thanksgiving, we don’t usually do any special holiday programming normally because we are usually spending it with friends and family, however, the Sunday before Thanksgiving (November 18th), we may air a couple of Thanksgiving specials on our iVlog channel (chrismaster1 in case yall haven’t checked it out yet) however, it is very tentative right now.

Then there’s our biggest time of year, Christmas. And as many of you may or may not know, we will be changing formats like we do every year to Holiday music. We affectionately call it, The Holiday of Rockin! Well, it is back again this year and with the change in the format means, if you play the station through Windows Media Player, iTunes or some other audio device (other then TuneIn or our other streaming services), then the ID number will change and if you have us saved on your computer, then you will need to get the new ID when we change formats because the ID will no longer work.

Basically, when we change formats, we get listed in a different directory on Shoutcast and we get assigned a new ID number. When we change back to our regular format, we get assigned another new ID number. So, that’s why if you have us saved to your computer so you can listen to us on Windows Media Player or whichever device you prefer, after the format change, you will need to reconfigure it.

Now you may be wondering, when will the change happen? Well, we are looking at the tentative date being November 23rd. Black Friday. However, that date could change so be on the lookout for any changes that may occur.

Then, New Years! December 31st is a Monday this year and New Years Day is a Tuesday (naturally). And, as always, we are planning to do a All Stereo Marathon broadcast that day featuring many different broadcasters and like always, it will be on Rockin WAVES this year. Be on the lookout when it’s closer to time for times and DJ’s that will be taking part in the All Stereo Marathon.

For people that are wondering what is the All Stereo Marathon. Basically, it is a bunch of broadcasters that get together and broadcast through one channel (video is heavily involved) and it is usually an all day event (sometimes we make it stretch to two days). Now we have All Stereo Marathons throughout the year but normally, I usually take the reigns for planning the New Year’s Show. Like I said, we will have a full list of broadcasters and times when we get closer.

Well, that about does it for the update! Thanks to everyone for listening and keep on Rockin!

Hey everyone!

Well, we now have a new chatroom (again). It is through Ezcapechat and we have video streaming as well so you can chat with us and go on cam and stuff. It’s very very cool and so, we may be doing some shows through it possibly from time to time and you’ll see me pop in the chat from time to time. There are a couple of things that I noticed with it though so you may want to keep reading this post because it could save a lot of headaches.

If you want to go on cam, if you want to do it on rockinwaves.com YOU MUST USE FIREFOX since it is flash based, Google Chrome won’t work with it. The only way you can use Google Chrome to get on cam is if you go to the ezcapechat site itself. So, to use the cams on rockinwaves.com, you will need to use Firefox. Be sure and check it out and let us know what you think by leaving us feedback on either our Facebook or phone line at 443-971-1294.

That about does it right now update wise. Thanks for listening as always and keep on rockin!

Chris

After testing a few things and trying the chatroom to work in other browsers, I’ve decided to pull the Discord chat from the website since it was not working and it was flash (which they are discontinuing which I think is the most idiotic decision ever made). I want to thank Matthew Hallsted for helping me get the Discord chat set up and posted on the website. It was very helpful and I greatly appreciate his help.

Right now, we will not be having a chatroom on the website. However, there are ways you can still chat with us in real time on our shows. We have our Facebook page where some of the shows may post links to their own chatrooms, and some of us also have iVlog pages where you can chat with us AND SEE us!

Again, thanks to everyone to helped us test and set up the Discord chat. It was fun while it lasted!

In the meantime, we are still going strong with The Summer of Rockin’! Also, in about 2 weeks, we are excited to have a special guest on one of the shows! Who is it? You’ll have to tune in to find out! Keep watching this and our Facebook page for more info!

Keep on Rockin!
Chris
