More Than One Way to Skin a Radio
A temporary outage on the servers for Six Rivers News caused an unexpected problem for Six Rivers Radio yesterday.
The outage, in Southern Ontario, took the news site off-line, but for many that blocked access to radio which was happily broadcasting away.
An interview with the Mayor of Oxford had sparked a lot of interest from new listeners who depended on the news site to gain access to the internet radio station. Simply put, with Six Rivers News off-line, they could not click the radio link.
The general manager of Six Rivers News says, “We are very sorry that people could not hear the station during that program yesterday.” Bill Martin added, “We planned our radio server to be independent from the website server to ensure access if ever one failed. The website is not the only way to listen to Six Rivers Radio.”
The station is internet based. No number to dial to a transmitter. Instead you can listen anywhere you have internet service.
How to listen:
- Go to www.sixrivers.ca — click the radio tab on the menu and click All Hit Radio and the play arrow
