Over the past few weeks Ive been taking a very casual approach to the radio show. Ive needed to rewire some new gear and actually hear what Im doing. So Ive played a little music, read a little news and moved around a bunch of cabling.

The result has been identifying bad patch cables..[I still have a bad set of headphones] and identifying a visit from Hooper. Subsequently I have more control over the audio levels plus Ive actually heard the broadcast with its lag so I can adjust the sound levels.

The good news is the set up has finally been tested properly and Ive eliminated all the problems except for the headphones. We never really tested much since we went pretty much live as soon as the service was launched. So the changes were much needed and in place.

The radio show has always seemed to have a split personality so the decision was to take time the time to split them into 2 seperate identities. Oprano Radio now will become the weekly hot topics and general news and discussion that has been the bulk of the broadcast in the past.

OWNED is a special presentation which we will promote like a 20/20 or 60 minutes episode in the same time spot. A lot have people have come up to say ... hey man when are you going to own someone again? You got to catch them critters first before you can bust them out. Trust me it aint over yet.

Tonight we are running silent...simply becasue I dont have any programming prepared. Power has been off and on here all morning and night. THe storm is impacting Georgia and SC so the connection to the shoutcast server was spotty this afternoon...and now ICQ is up and down so I decided to scrap it for the evening.

I apprecaite everyone that has come out in the past no matter if the shows were spectatular or shitty. In the future you can tune in each Tuesday for Opranoradio for a little news and discussion. However when the HOT LIGHT goes on and OWNED is scheduled to air you wont want to miss one of those episodes.

Rumor also has it that CJ has some special programming she has done to add to the show. Skype willing....I might get her out of bed to check in every so often.

If you have any show ideas or guests youd like to hear live on the air or if you would like to be a guest on OpranoRadio please contact me. If I want you on OWNED you'll be hearing from me!

We thank you for your support.
