Coast to Coast radio show

Are there any stations that broadcast this program during the day (even if it's not live)? I like the show but the 1am-5am time frame simply is not suitable for me.

I don't know the answer, but TuneIn might archive it, and Streaming Radio Guide would tell you all the stations that carry it and the times. One of those resources should get you the information you seek.

As my elementary school teachers used to say, "Look It Up." The website has a station list with broadcast times for each.

Or go to Applian.com. Replay Media Catcher or Replay Radio will let you do scheduled recordings of station audio streams. Or you can subscribe to C2C Insider. They have audio of past shows. There are also Android and iOS apps that among other features do on-demand streaming of past shows

Just skip yesterday's show. George was humoring 9/11 Truthers again.

Which is fine 364 days a year. But show some decorum and not humor those idiots for one day?

Thanks. Those Applian programs look decent but they are pricey. I actually found the free program Audacity has the same features, including timer recording, and has even more options for exporting the recordings to MP3 format, so I'll use that to record the streaming audio overnight.

Glad you found something. I recommend you make sure to set the program for audio stream capture rather recording from the sound card.

The Replay Programs come with a program called Replay Converter which converts audio streams to different formats. Most station streams are mp3 anyway, so I don't use it that much. Replay Media Catcher can also capture on demand programs and record online video, as well as being a podcast client. They do have an editing program but it's not much and Audacity seems to have more in that department and is more comparable to Audition. Let me know if the free/ad-free version has any limitations to push you to pay.

I've been looking at Audacity and the documentation. It looks like it only records from the sound card and does not do audio stream capture. It also looks like it does not have the capability for set recording start and stop times as you would with a DVR. With Replay you can pick a program to record out of one of the program guides, or enter the audio stream URL and recording start and stop times manually. When you set it up, you can also tell Replay to convert the stream to any format you want at the end of the recording period. They really have made it like a Tivo for the desktop and it appears much simpler to use.

IHeartRadio also includes recent Coast to Coast programs to stream on demand, so you don't even need to use any recording software (unless you plan to start and stop recording, use VSC or want to listen on a smartphone without running up your data usage).

PS: Replay Radio has a neat feature called URL Finder for when stations mask the web address of their audio stream or use Flash players. Just turn it on and then start streaming the station and the URL shows up in finder box.

I don't know what documentation you were reading but I tested Audacity this morning and it works great. It has no problem recording streaming audio through the sound card (I have it set to record from audio mixer). Basically all you need to do is open the audio stream in your browser and then start Audacity and hit record. Very simple.

I was also able to set the timer to start and stop recording at specific times just like a DVR and it works flawlessly. And the nice thing is I can export the MP3 at 16kbps so it makes for a very small file. With Replay the smallest setting was 128Kbps and I was getting huge MP3 files, which I don't need for a talk radio program. For a free program Audacity is pretty amazing.

You're right IHeartRadio has the C2C show, but they only stream a once-per-day, 5-10 minute highlight show. That's what I had been listening to over the last couple months and became very interested in this show.

Fred is correct. Audacity is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) while Replay is designed for capturing internet streams.

Audacity has a simple timer, but Replay will completely automate the process. It records the program each day and files it away. It's like building your own library of podcasts.

Just go to You Tube and type in "Coast to Coast AM" and the date of the show you want to hear.
