I noticed that I get a lot of tracking cookies from clear channel when I hit the KDGE web page. Maybe thats' another reason why it loads slow. Bandwidth from other sites to load on one page. There's 10 scripts that load on the page and you're also pulling info from two other domains.
The concept is ok, but the lay out you have to hunt and pick what you're looking for.
KLLI's Website has a better layout. Only 2 scripts load and only one other domain is requested on the load. Thing's are easier to find. All the pertinent stuff is at the top, and little time sensitive info is off on the side. The big time sensitive events are in the middle, laid out well for you to catch even if that's not what you're looking for. Big improvement from the past where it was heavily loaded with flash and animation.
Good Job Chris.
ok, so if I want to listen to Edge School Radio, where the hell is the link? I've only found it once on the older web page a year ago and since then, I can't find it.
