[WXBH-Discuss] A little note on our evolving programming

[John Hicks]

At our meeting Wednesday, we got into a CD ripping session and wound up 
with a vastly expanded music library. (And we still have a couple 
hundred CDs left to rip!)

For the time being, we are playing a random rotation of this music 
through most of the night and much of the day. We still have our 
Pacifica schedule in place along with the several regular local shows 
that are now being produced.

We have several new shows that should be going up in the next few days. 
The plan is to slot them into regular times and wrap this random music 
playlist around them.

In the meantime, we'd be interested in your feedback on this particular 
music mix. It's bound to evolve over time and your feedback will help it 
do so. I would think we'll wind up with several different such mixes for 
different times of day, etc. We are definitely planning on making local 
music a big part of our programming, so don't fret that it isn't there 
yet. (And do send us your CDs of local music.)

If you hear something that sounds interesting and want to know what it 
is, just go to the web site. I've done a quick and dirty programming 
patch to display the artist and song currently playing. (At the present 
time, it does not update; you'll need to manually refresh the page to 
update it.)

Incidentally, we have registered an additional domain name for our web 
site: http://LouisvilleCommunityRadio.org. The thought was that as we 
get started with our outreach it might be easier to get people to 
remember that URL rather than the WXBH call letters. (Seems a lot of 
people were getting the letters turned around, etc.) Of course, we'll 
keep the wxbh.org domain. Both domain names lead to the same web site.
