When Prog and Power Unite is returning to the air!

That's right, we've settled in at a new station and we'll be returning to the air on Monday, February 22nd, and we'll still be on from 6-9pm EST.

Our new home is www.progrock.com, a site run by Shawn Gordon, who also runs ProgRock Records (www.progrockrecords.com).  Take some time to check out the site, and make sure you can tune in and chat so that you're good to go when we have our first show back.

Over the next few days we'll be working on updating links, banners, and promos for everyone.

========================

I'm only posting this part here:

Tomorrow about 6pm, maybe a bit later I'll be running a test run of the show on the new station. This could easily be riddled with technical difficulties and other problems, however if a few people could come by and help troubleshoot it would be very much appreciated. I'll be fine tuning everything so next week's first real show can go smoothly. I'll keep you guys posted tomorrow with a more certain time.

[Ultimetalhead]

I'll help troubleshoot.

[setrataeso]

I can probably check it out, and help troubleshoot.
As long as I don't have to wear pants.

[Nick]

Pants are most certainly NOT a requirement.

[Nick]

Also, for those of you who might care, the station owner is also the one responsible for directing the music effort of Roswell Six, along with being the bass player in the band.

[Perpetual Change]

I could be around, but I'd be useless as a troubleshooter.  So should I bother?

[setrataeso]

WPAPU 2.0 - "Pants are most certainly NOT a requirement."

Also, for those of you who might care, the station owner is also the one responsible for directing the music effort of Roswell Six, along with being the bass player in the band.

Have a feeling like you'll get more support from the station because of this?

[Nick]

Well, there is always the chance things go really smoothly and you get to hear a great show!

Also, just telling me what problems you are experiencing is a big help.

@Set: Station support at Dementia was not a problem, they went under and couldn't help it. Shawn seems like he'll be behind us in whatever we need as well, and in addition in time I'll have the entire ProgRock Records catalog at my disposal.

[Nick]

Also, big help if now you go to the site's Tune in and Chat section and try out the links for me.

[setrataeso]

Sure thing. I lost my connection a bunch last time, but this time I'll be on my Firefox computer, so there should be less troubles there.

Are you still thinking of doing the whole "listener promos" thing, where someone will record like "Hey, this is Ultimetalhead, you're listening to WPAPU on progrock.com" or something?


EDIT:

Also, big help if now you go to the site's Tune in and Chat section and try out the links for me.

I'll give it a shot. I'm on a relative's computer, so I might not know what it's capable of. But I'll try.

[Nick]

Yeah, I'm definitely going to do the listener promo thing, I'll announce it sometime after the first real show. Don't want to jump the gun, plenty of other things to straighten out first.

[setrataeso]

I can only imagine.
Let me know if you need any more help. It doesn't look like Canada will be winning any more medals tonight, so I'm all free to aid.

[Dr. DTVT]

Also, for those of you who might care, the station owner is also the one responsible for directing the music effort of Roswell Six, along with being the bass player in the band.

Where do I send my copy to get signed? 

[splent]

I'll troubleshoot and submit a listener promo 

[Quadrochosis]

My job is closed tomorrow so I don't have to work. I'd be glad to listen in and help troubleshoot. Just tell me what to do.

[Nick]

Just try and listen and chat and tell me any problems you experience.

[Quadrochosis]

No problemo. Sounds like fun.

[veronica]

Hi, this is Veronica from DTF. I hope you enjoy WPAPU as much as we do.  It's now also possible to upgrade to WPAPU Premium.

Good luck! I still won't be able to listen in (darn time zones and work and such)

[wkiml]

was able to get both the stream and the chat room up with no problems...but than again this is a " Nick " project so there are born to be epic failures once the show goes live 

[Nick]

Test run will be tentatively around 6... but that could change and I'll post if it does.

[Space Invader]

I might tune in at six for an hour or so.

Looking forward to it.

[Genowyn]

I'll probably tune in.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

I'll definitely tune in.

[Perpetual Change]

Yamo be thar

[Quadrochosis]

How do I get the chat up?

EDIT: nvm haha

[black_biff_stadler]

Will there be punch and pie?

[Nick]

Of course there will be punch and pie.

[Nick]

Should hopefully be starting the test run in 8 minutes.

[black_biff_stadler]

Keep losing my internet connection every fucking time I try to join the chat

[PlaysLikeMyung]

I hope everything worked out with that troll. When I left there was like, two of everybody

[Nick]

Keep losing my internet connection every fucking time I try to join the chat

Did that eventually get fixed for you?

I hope everything worked out with that troll. When I left there was like, two of everybody

Hopefully we can have something in place by next week to deal with that.

I think it was just Jeff saying it was his last pick.

[setrataeso]

Good show.
Hopefully there will be less troll-hunting next week.
