Back after a long hiatus

necturusEssentially, I've been immersed in the challenges of our radio station group, Sugar River Media.
We have finally got our Vermont country station, WCVR AM 1320 on FM 100.1 and streaming online (http://northcountry1320.com or http://natrix.sugarrivermedia.com:8000/wcvr). It has taken a great deal of work and we waited three months for Comcast to get its act together before taking matters into our own hands and setting up a temporary audio feed using Verizon mobile broadband. We are even starting to get advertisers interested; a local Ford dealership for which my brother and our GM produced a singing commercial last year is back, with the same spot. The FM coverage is comparable to the AM, but of course the sound quality is better.
This is not a run-of-the-mill country station; we have a 3,000-song library that includes local artists, and we are actively inviting independent country artists to send us songs, which we will consider for airplay.
We've also done a lot of work on our classical music station, WSCS 90.9 FM, which serves the Lake Sunapee area of New Hampshire (beautiful countryside, if you've never been there). WSCS is also soliciting recordings from classical artists seeking airplay.
Our other stations... are still works in progress.
