What's going on with Air America's stream?

[LizW]

Sorry if this is always been discussed. I'm late getting on the computer this morning.

It's dropping in and out. I heard Mike Malloy say something about it last night, but I didn't catch exactly what he said.

Doesn't it seem sometimes like we can't get a break? I mean, here it is, the first anniversary week of AAR, and the HBO documentary is airing, and the one week there might be some hint of mainstream media attention on the network -- boom. Techical difficulties.

I'm not donning tinfoil this early in the morning, but it just seems so unlucky.

1. Mine's working OK

:shrug:

Did you watch the show last night?

[LizW]

4. Really? Maybe it's just my connection, then.

It dropped out for several minutes last might during Mike's show, and I heard him saying something about the problem, but I wasn't paying attention. Then, this morning, it's on for a few seconds, then cuts out for a few. Just now it seems to be gone entirely. :(

I don't have HBO, so I hope the documentary is released on DVD so I can see it.

8. I posted that and then it went out - it has been out for a little while

now. Sorry.

5. Karma

Maybe since my favorite show was removed, they are being hit by some karma? I can't get them streaming today, either.

10. What did Rachel announce yesterday? Are they putting her

somewhere else within AAR?

[LizW]

17. She'll have a one hour early morning spot on AAR

She says it will be a fast hour of hard news. It will air live from 5-6 a.m. Eastern with a rebroadcast later.

[Pirate Smile]

21. Good. Maybe she can also sub for people so they don't have to do

reruns.

18. Saw on a blog this morning

(I can't remember which one, but will try to find it again if you want it) that she will have her own show on AAR.

2. Mine is really crappy too.

3. Maybe high traffic. Welcome Jerry Springer!

7. Regardless of what people think about Jerry Springer...

Him being on Air America will bring new listeners who are curious about his opinion on politics.

Big name, big ratings.

[BlueEyedSon]

13. He's also very good. He is not HIS TV SHOW.

He is a serious liberal who has been in (and been very successful in) politics.

[Connie_Corleone]

19. Yeah. I was too young when he was mayor here in Cincinnnati....

but I remember him on channel 5 news mostly as a political commentator.

[onecitizen]

16. I tried to listen......

this week to give him a chance but he does nothing for me. I keep having visions of people throwing chairs and yanking hair as his callers speak. I'm having trouble getting past the whole TV show thing.

I will try again sometime to listen to him but I just don't think I can.....just sayin'.......

[AnnInLa]

6. mine dropping like crazy too....usually great reception

think it is the Jerry Springer thing? or was it happening last night as well? tin-foil hat time.

[Pirate Smile]

9. Are all the sites down or just through the AAR website?

Is it still up for the people listening on the radio and not streaming?

[LizW]

11. Don't know

I'll go out to the car in a minute and check if it's coming through on Sirius. My internet stream is totally gone now.

[Connie_Corleone]

12. Still up on the radio.

I'm listening on my local radio station for now.

[BlueEyedSon]

14. Dammit! I'll have to have my coffee sitting in the car (Sirius on board)!

[Discord]

15. I can't get a stream from the AAR direct stream.

And heard it cut out on the radio this morning for a couple seconds here and there.

I did get the stream from local station affiliates.

20. It's as jittery as Katherine Hepburn in a Helicopter

Sorry couldn't resist

It is skipping all over the place

25. My online stream keeps cutting out. A minute ago, it was repeating

over and over, an introduction of a caller.

26. I was having some problems listening with RealPlayer....

switched to Windows Media Player and it's been fine.
