After some struggling with the programming software, I have finally come up with a relatively stable program for the newscast provided by Jennifer Steele and the 247 Radio Group.

The newscast will air hourly between 5:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., somewhere between :15 and :30, Monday through Friday.

Thanks Jennifer, for the great job that you are doing.

New songs added to the station this week:

• "Little Sister" by Queens of the Stone Age
• "Smile Like You Mean It" by The Killers
• "Evil" by Interpol
• "New Slang" by the Shins
• Late adds - "Soul to Squeeze" by Red Hot Chili Peppers and "Slither" by Velvet Revolver

and the new Pick Hit of the Week: "Holiday" by Green Day.

A long time ago we used to wrap up each hour with a classic TV theme. It kicks up the nostalgia factor. We are going to put it back and see how it sounds with the format we have today.

We are still figuring out where to program the weekday newscast with a minimum amount of interruptions.

Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I'm just glad that we are still broadcasting:

• Came in the office at 5:30 a.m. and found that the station wasn't broadcasting. DSL was disconnected at home. I dared not to wake up the Duty Engineer. The station came back at 7:15 a.m.
• I was having some success programming the newscast, since it has to be pulled off the internet. It was fine up until right before 11 a.m., when the playlist started to advance on its own. So we are now broadcasting on Mountain Time. @#$%^&.

Jen Steele informed her clients that the "free" news won't be free after all. Therefore we will no longer carry it on the station.

Thanks to Jen for all her work in the past two weeks.

Update: Jen has generously allowed our station to continue to carry her newscast at no charge. Thanks Jen.
