Hi Luke The station was down, its not the system that is repeating but the device you listen on. When audio is streamed it is buffered on your device for 20 or 30 seconds. if the stream goes offline your device will keep repeating the last few seconds it has in the buffer. All fixed now, sorry for any inconvenience...

That's strange, I will check it out, it maybe the silence detection system (picks up silence and plays next track) is a little over zealous and skipping to the next track. Sorry about that!

Hi! 🙂 I found you about two months ago. As a millennial much of the content here is entirely new to me, especially given I was not really a radio listener until my late 20's onwards, so this nostalgia fest is worth its weight in gold to my mind. So much so that I have signed up as a monthly donor for you. I am sorry it isn't much mind, but it is a little something to say your efforts are appreciated, and it is such a blessed relief to be able to listen to shows without my cheerful mood from a comedy show suddenly being interrupted by propaganda passing itself off as news at the top of the hour,...

That said I absolutely adore the old school adverts and musical interludes 🙂

In any case, thank you for building this oasis. I would love you to be interviewed one day as it would be real interesting to know how all this came about. Thanks again. 🥰... Collapse

Hi. Hi. I am still unable to access Britcom two three or four on the Alexa skill. I can only get Britcom two on the TuneIn app. Can you investigate this please? Thanks. NB I don't know why, but I have tried to send this to you on the comment page, but it has been rejected every time.

The amount of repetition is excessive. These shows have huge back catalogues, yet only a tiny selection is repeated endlessly. It’s disappointing when there’s so much more variety available. Please consider rotating in more episodes instead of recycling the same ones.

Very disappointed when listening to Sherlock Holmes on Brittania when the last quarter of an hour was cropped. Thinking this was a one-off I listened the next night at 10.30 when the same thing happened!Why schedule a 45 minutes programme in a half hour slot?

Thanks Admin.. another great tech tip..audio is ok again. That'll teach me to not play with security settings! I've been listening and donating for 2 years and like the variety of comedy, news, quiz and detective shows. Now that I know the time difference I use the schedule pages. This is my stress relief from the Trump daily assaults!

Hi John , have to say love all the stations… listen all the time . I don’t know how you do it ! The Pumpkin fm Jingles are of a very high quality and excellent singers.It would be great to see a behind the scenes of how it’s all done. How are you able to maintain and fund with no adverts?

Hi, I'm using an Internet radio to listen to Pumpkin FM and all the stations are great. I'm trying to get Britcom 4 to work but it's not showing in the SkyTune directory! Is there a way to manually enter the stream into my Skytune Internet radio? It says you can't enter a website, only a stream - if that makes sense. Is there a "stream" I can enter until SkyTune gets updated. Thanks Marcus.

Hi, since the changes, I've noticed that when a programme ends, my Alexa thinks that I was only listening to one programme. It shuts down Pumpkin FM then I have to go through the whole rigmarole of asking it to play Pumpkin FM and then the channel I want. This never happened before the changes. Has something changed, or is the problem with Alexa?
