[edit] Remove cleanup tag?
I believe that the additional info, editing, and contributions over the last couple of months justify removal of the cleanup tag, and I will remove it on Monday 11/28 unless someone objects. Georgewilliamherbert 19:44, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Internet Radio claim
According to the Internet Radio article, KPIG would not be the first Internet radio station. That honor would be claimed by WXYC, Chapel Hill, NC, as per the following snip from the Internet radio article.
- WXYC (89.3FM Chapel Hill, NC USA) was the first radio station to announce broadcasting on the Internet on November 7, 1994. WXYC used an FM radio connected to a system at SunSite, later known as Ibiblio, running CU-SeeMe. WXYC had begun test broadcasts and bandwidth testing as early as August, 1994. WREK (91.1FM, Atlanta, GA USA) also claims to have started streaming on November 7, using their own custom software called CyberRadio1, although the stream was not advertised until a later date.
The source material from the station's website appears to be the problem. Once I can verify the WXYC date, I will modify the article appropriately. KC9CQJ 21:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
WXYC appears to be the first FCC licensed station to stream their terrestrial signal. The first actual streaming broadcast was Carl Malamud's. KPIG's claim to be the first in the world is erroneous, either way, so I have fixed the wording appropriately. KC9CQJ 21:37, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Freedom, California
Isn't the station based in Freedom, not Watsonville? Or do they just say that because it sounds more interesting? --GentlemanGhost 19:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think they just say that to sound cool. Their station is across from Ramsey Park, on Main St, Watsonville. Freedom is just a zipcode nowdays anyway: it's all within the city limits of Watsonville.75.7.58.246 20:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
