Keep in mind what we do (or did) for a living.
And on that subject, how can you tell when a regular joke becomes a DAD joke?

It becomes ... apparent.


Part one, true.
Part two, ohhhhhh! :D)
 
One would think they set up an "internet STL" which would allow them time to move equipment in an orderly manor with limited downtime. Either use a Barix (or whatever brand) or two PCs and a tunneling protocol.
I’m not an engineer and don’t understand how any of that works. I just know they said they were moving some equipment

Most rated market operators should have some redundancy on their technical plant. If you can't move equipment without a less that an hour outage, there is something wrong with the layout of the facilities. Most of the equipment from the control board output to the actual transmitter is PC based. Any knowledgeable network person be able to rig up something that would work.

If they can't move stuff in a "controlled environment / timeline" what are they going to do when something does screw up or a couple of days of bad weather. I would love to be their competitor. It's a lot harder to get or regain listeners than it is to keep them.
 
With all these changes it seems the analog backdrop from the HD signal may be a bit out of sync on 95.1. It was a very smooth transition up until the end of last week and now it seems off just a bit.

As I've quoted up here before, silence pushes listeners away.
