Now Broadcasting 24/7

My erratic broadcasting schedule continues to change on the fly, and that makes life more interesting, I must say. I don't like routine or repetition, so it's fun to mix things up and fly by the seat of my pants sometimes.

Normally I would have shut the broadcast off last night before going to bed, but when I went to do so, I decided that there were enough people listening that it was worthwhile to keep on broadcasting. So now it's Thursday at 11 am and the audience has grown further, so I'll keep on broadcasting and see how it goes. If the audience drops down to unacceptable levels, I'll probably shut off the stream and have to kick the few stragglers off my servers (sorry, folks) until next week. But, if the audience stays at the level where it is now, who knows, I may have started broadcasting 24/7 without realizing it.

However, keep the following caveat in mind: my current playlist is a little less than three days in length and after that things will start to repeat. That's the only reason I'm not broadcasting 24/7 at this point. I wanted the playlist to be able to run for at least a week without repeating, but if people are listening it's hard to turn them away.

EDIT: It's a week later and the audience keeps growing, so barring any unexpected change for the worse, it looks like I'm now broadcasting 24/7. I'm now consistently ranked in the top 40 Shoutcast stations in the eclectic genre, and I occasionally crack the top 20. I'm running neck and neck with some stations that have been broadcasting for years, so things seem to happening.

I'll be adding more music to the playlist ASAP and replacing this blog with a proper website sometime this fall. In the meantime, enjoy the music.
