ATK Radio - It's Back!!

I am delighted to announce that the ATK Community RADIO station is now back online, bigger and better than ever before!!!

How do I tune in?
When the server is online, you will be able to see information about the server at the top of the forum home. However, we now also have a page just about the radio, which can be found here (http://www.atkcommunity.com/index.php?page=radio). If you would like to download the .pls file so that you can play it from a media player of your choice, please click here (http://81.19.217.136:8000/listen.pls).

Over the next few days I will be giving out the required information to the people who have requested to be a DJ. I will also add commands on all of the game servers, so that you can simply tune in by typing "!atkradio"

Who provided us with this?
Direct Clan Hosting (http://www.directclanhosting.com/) have been generous enough to provide us with this 100 slot server, and as a result the radio will also contain adverts for them. For those of you that don't know about DCH, here is a quote from our main page:


DCH provide us with our Game and Voice Servers. All of their Servers are lag-free and always very responsive - exactly what a gamer wants.

They provide quality Game Servers at an affordable price and with 24/7 support and instant setup, you won't regret signing up!

DCH has Servers based in the UK, USA, Portugal and Holland for even better connectivity.

Check out their website here: http://www.directclanhosting.com/

Tunining in now and testing with winamp.

edit:wont connect with winamp. "401 service unavalible" meaning the server is most likley not running/port forwarded.

"Bacon atk radio" :)

[Chazlene]

Huzzah, I'll DJ sometime, I think I've worked out how to broadcast live Skype conversations as well.

[Paper Tiger]

I'd like to DJ on it sometimes

[Chazlene]

Oi Chalex, are you going to add the radio information along the top of the homepage again (showing what song is playing, etc.)? Otherwise people aren't going to know when to tune in if they're not on TS.

[Chalex4]

You will see that only when the radio is up, there is lots information on this (http://www.atkcommunity.com/forum.php) page.

There is also a page I just created with loads of information:
http://www.atkcommunity.com/?page=radiostats
This page can also be accessed from the normal radio page.

[Chazlene]

Oh right, didn't notice it there, but can we have it on the actualy homepage as well? Since more people are going to look at that than the forum index. Also, is it possible for the radio to display who is broadcasting?

[Chalex4]

Right, I have now added stats for ATK Radio on the homepage, and the DJs' names will also appear when they are broadcasting.

[ez64]

any word on the !atkradio command for the servers ?

[VoX]

How will the Ad's be broadcast about DCH, do we just have to mention them or do we have to DL an mp3?

[Chalex4]

I will do the server commands later tonight ez64, I have just been sorting out the DJ timetable and request system!!

About the DCH ads, for the moment you are just going to have say say something about them yourself until we have an mp3 from DCH which I will ask for at some point.

[VoX]

Ok awesome.

Chaz, how do you broadcast a Skype conversation and would it work for Teamspeak too?

[Chazlene]

Well I found this (http://matt.fowler.googlepages.com/skypetosam) tutorial, but it didn't work for me, probably because I don't have a soundcard, but try it out yourself and tell me if you get it working.

[Chalex4]

I am happy to say that the request line (http://www.atkcommunity.com/?page=requestline) and DJ timetable (http://www.atkcommunity.com/?page=djtimetable) are now 100% live!!

Every DJ will need a login to be able to see the requests and book on the timetable, so I will sort that out later on TS. Vox already has a login if you want to know what it is like.

EDIT: The !atkradio command is also enabled on the TF2 server, although it may need a map change.

[Chalex4]

I have just added a page with details about the DJs. You can see it here (http://www.atkcommunity.com/?page=dj).

If you are a DJ, please can you make sure that you have filled out all the fields by editing your profile in the DJ Panel.

[ez64]

every link works perfectly and the winamp buffering issue has seemed to clear its self up probably a error my side anyway.

Im also sorry to inform you all that "fall out boy"-"beat it" was played on 05/05/2008 at 11:49am on the ATK radio. :p

[VoX]

Oh BTW if you go here (http://81.19.217.136:8000/listen.pls) and open the .pls with iTunes and set your MSN to display what you are listening to, then it will come up as ATK Radio: DJ ...

[ez64]

same in winamp.

[VoX]

BTW has anyone had the sense to Digg this?

[silentlord.2008]

hello, i would like to DJ for the ATK Radio, i am an ownage internet DJ, DJED for over a year now

[VoX]

Isn't it up to us if you're an ownage DJ?

[Vicious Horizon]

:P Seeing as i just necro'd a thread posting something about this. But how do i apply now?

*Double checks post date. Today. Phew XD*

[VoX]

All you need to do is express your interest and wait for Chalex.

[Vicious Horizon]

*Prods Chalex XD*

[VoX]

That is such an inuendo.

[Chalex4]

At the moment all DJ applications have been suspended. I will let you know when they are re-opened, but feel free to express your interest.

[VoX]

I have something I really want to say about the expressing of interest but I'll restrain myself.

[Target]

[Paper Tiger]

I expressed my interest, but heard nothing back from yourself.
