New Show and Christmas Broadcasts

Hey, hey!

The Sound Cellar has a new show, "The Rhythm." It features classic soul and rhythm and blues hits. This show is for the weekend Night Owls in the eastern time zone and it also kicks off the weekend late Friday afternoon.

Here's a link to The Sound Cellar's revised broadcast schedule
. Adjust the time zone on the schedule page as required.
Note that our shows "FM" on Friday night and "Classic Rock" on Saturday night now broadcast until midnight. And, "FM" now goes until 11:30 PM Monday through Thursday. Our "Trademark Oldies," including soul and rhythm and blues, and "Over Easy" shows are proving to be pretty popular. When our special programs are not running The Sound Cellar features a free form mix of classic rock, oldies, soul and rhythm and blues. We really want to do a regular live broadcast and are still working out the schedule. We are kicking around some ideas and when we get the details worked out we'll send out some information. There has been a lot of interest expressed about us doing this. I can promise you this, when it happens the broadcast will not be formulaic.

The Christmas broadcasts were a huge success. The Christmas Eve live broadcast was so big we had to move it to Bop City to accommodate more listeners. And the 24/7 Christmas broadcast on the Sound Cellar had the biggest audience of any broadcast that we've ever hosted. From the statistics that we are able to get, it appears like we had over 850 listeners total for all of our Christmas broadcasts. We are hoping that we've gained some regular listeners from our Christmas broadcasts.

A big thanks to Francesca Jarosz of the Indianapolis Star who wrote a great article on the history of our Christmas broadcast. For those of you that haven't read the article, here's the link. Obviously the article had a huge impact on the number of listeners that we had for our Christmas broadcasts. Every day Francesca keeps Indy's northsiders and Carmel residents informed with her reporting in the Indianapolis Star and we thank her for that as well.

The top five U.S. metro areas, after Indy who remains firmly at number one, that have listened to The Sound Cellar in the last 30 days are Louisville, Washington D.C. (you know who you are...), Philly, Honolulu and Miami. Honolulu and Miami......those spots sound real good about right now, maybe a remote broadcast is in order?

Our international listenership has fallen off a little as of late but the top three countries from the last 30 days are Brazil, Bulgaria and Canada.

We're working on some more promotion ideas and all of you good people should feel free to spread the word about The Sound Cellar.

Thanks for listening. As all of you know, The Sound Cellar is a labor of love and knowing that you listen when you can makes it all worthwhile.
