I really love these radio stations, but it is impossible now that even the Crime Central schedule is no longer correct. Are updates in the offing. 🙂

Loving the shows and channels, but when I try to reach the home page by typing in the address, it goes to the 'default web page' by plesk, instead of the page. I know you're making changes, but thought you ought to be aware of this. I listen at work, and it's great to hear the old shows and music.

What's the little piece of jazz music you use as a station ident? Sounds like Miles Davis but I can't quite put my finger on it. Thanks.

Pumpkin FM, runs on two servers, Abbott & Costello. Unfortunately two days ago Costello gave up on life, the fan failed and the processor fried itself. I have since managed to rebuild the channels that were hosted on Costello on a Virtual Windows server in the Cloud. I have had to close down for a short while all channels that are located on Abbott so I may upload 500GB worth of content to the new cloud server. Sorry for any inconvenience. Hope to back up fully by the end of today..

We apologies for issues with Pumpkin FM Server 2. This has impacted 1940s, 50's, Classical Radio, British Radio and the Adventure & Western Channel. The problem should now have been fixed. The server was overheating which led to the issues. We have added extra cooling fans. Thank you for your kind understanding.

Hi Bill, the continuity announcer is a computer generated voice or text to speech 🙂 When I get time I plan to introduce real human voices, the emphasis is on when I get time 🙂

Why does the woman that does the station promo piece on '1940's 1950's radio always say that it's 'MONDAY' ?? No matter what day it is, she says it's 'monday'. Stupid and annoying.

The British Comedy channel seems to be stuck; it’s only playing a brief “Do You Remember This?” drop/cue and then 20-30 seconds of silence - sometimes rebooting the stream, sometimes not.

Really enjoy the Comedy channel - by why the hourly time pips? Totally misleading due to encoding delays they only work on FM, so serve no useful purpose being up to 40 seconds out!

I don't expect people to set their watches by the pips, especially with the network lag. But many people who listen do like to be aware when the top of the hour arrives, some people use it as an indication of when they should leave or start work and it has a retro feeling all of it's own 🙂

We suffered a power cut earlier this evening which took out one of our servers and 50% of our channels. Naturally it happened when I was away from HQ. The server has now been rebooted and the channels will slowly start to reappear. Sorry for any inconvenience! John
