I'd vote for it...as long as we had periodic voice commentary from a Tokyo Rose type, who mentioned particular members' exploits and taunted Knights, Bishops and Rooks often...and you could listen to it in your cockpit radio.

Could be very cool!

Great Idea!
Anyone who heard the Mp3 stuff from the conn would have to agree!
A live show where you could call in and ask/ get answers to pertinent questions would be fun to listen to. Pick their brains kinda thing.... History... Future ... all of it
Who I'd really like to talk to is Waffle! That dude's been a very busy man!

I'd rather it was live and not downloaded.

Might be nice to have a 2 hourly war report on the map situations in both LW Arenas on how the war effort is going!

Sounds OK to me as long as we don't have Channel Squeak

Gimme three things.

1.) Something to drink
2.) AH
3.) WMP with Pink Floyd in the background

Wait, this is what I do currently.

You could also have a real-time video/audio stream on the station - maybe a weekly, hour-long interview with HTC staff (See http://www.ustream.tv). My buddies and I currently have a 'fake' internet radio station, full of stuff that's of interest only to our 'gang', but plan on expanding it. We use the ustream.tv for video & audio streams from our 'fake' studio.

It's simple to set up, the cost is zero, and it keeps us off the streets....

I would definitely listen to an AH station. Maybe HTC could put a webcam in their office so we can watch them coding the next patch!:cool:

Great idea.

Any of you guys heard/seen the Tales of Heroes show about Company of Heroes? Something of the sort would be really interesting with hosts talking about strat, the art of dogfighting, news etc. A monthly/biweekly/weekly podcast/video would be nothing short of amazing.

(the insight of Adam "Bridger" Ruzzo is invaluable to anyone looking to up their CoH game).

Btw, I have collected 902 mp3s (2,12GB = 5 days of continuous play) of 1940s radio.

Everything from Churchill's speeches over news reports to German propaganda etc etc etc. Some are over an hour long, some are a minute or so.

I can add a bucket load of 1940s contemporary music as a cherry on top of that.

I use it sometimes when I fly to get "in the mood" (pun intended), it really adds a lot of flavor.

A new server is being set up at the moment, Adonai what's typical bandwidth usage? I may be able to run it for free.

This would be live not a download.

Or both? Good to have a back catalogue of shows...

Idea of it being downloaded for those that can't hear it live during hours its recorded live.

I.e its live from 7-12 but when shows over it can be sound edited and made available for download of those that missed the show. popular way for people to "stay in touch"

Hmmm thats a interesting idea.

Wouldn't be hard to edit up the sound file in between commercials and break it down and zip, however I dont know about dialup users wanting to download it, smallest format ive ever recorded in was 1 meg a minute of air time, 60 megs per hour, long download for them.

Useless radio chatter drives me further insane.
