WRPO Website

Thanks for the heads up! WRPO sounded even better the last time I was in the area - the night before Thanksgiving - than the previous time I'd heard it. Worth asking again ... any chance you guys will be streaming any time? I know there's no station like you guys in Columbus or Lima, at least that I've heard!
 
Wish they would stream too...at least they have a few audioclips....a good excuse to come up to the lake,spend some bucks and listen while fishing or boating when the warmer weather returns...and of course,the annual boat show at the beginning of the year...good buisiness for the locals there.....and hopefully for Gene Kirby.

Mind you it can be expensive to pay for a streaming service,then you have to pay royalties to BMI,ASCAP and SESAC on top of that!...RIAA probably would want their piece of the pie too.

Makes me (kinda)wish a local computer nerd at the lake would hook up his/her FM receiver to a computer to stream it online (in STEREO) just for fun,although it might get him into same major trouble with the big boys,but hey...we can dream can't we?
 
I've said it before...WRPO would love to stream on the internet. But, even going with a small package on a service like Live 365 is, at a minimum, around $100 or so a month. If a benefactor wanted to underwrite the cost, I'm sure the station would jump at it...but there are better things to do with the money the station has than to be concerned with streaming.

The station has been wanting, for instance, an antenna upgrade...they're building a production studio, and we're pushing for "remote control" capabilities to allow for more real time programming of news and weather information. All of these things, and others on the plate, would improve the station's service to the local community...and ain't that what radio...especially LP-FM is supposed to be about?
