Computers, you gotta love 'em!

I got up this morning for a drink of water and noticed it was quiet in the studio. Our network feed had gone down (again!) and our automation had crashed. There was no way it was coming back up. So, I copied a file I needed and brought up another computer in the studio. I tried to bring up the automation on the new computer and no luck. Same %^&%% error. Fortunately, I have enough different systems that I was able to get the station back up on the air. SAM3 came through when I was in a pinch! I'm not sure why the other automation wouldn't play, but a date function isn't working.

In case you're wondering, small community stations like East Hill Radio use automated playback systems. It's the only way we can operate a 24/7 schedule.

It's late and I need to get back to bed. The station's on the and I will piece the rest together later. More later!
