They better come out with it for Android real quick...

DRay9911 · 05-20-2015, 09:22 PM

hope you're allowed to bring in phones/cameras

the stones are playing at the fonda theater tonight and their periscope page has been showing people picking up tickets, wristbands and a note that says 'no phones and cameras'.

Good point.

So the phone stream is about 2 min behind the computer/web stream. How far behind is that stream from the on-air? I get there Sunday...

Meerkat is available for Android...

what i don't like about meerkat is you need a twitter account in order to use it.

I think I read earlier in the thread that the computer/web stream is 2 minutes behind the live radio broadcast.
If the phone stream is 2 minutes behind that, I guess the phone stream is 4 minutes behind the live radio broadcast.

I could tell that they were going to play the ad right after the end of whatever song was playing near the top of the hour. My pc clock actually said about a minute, almost 2 minutes past the hour. I didn't wait for the song to end, since I was streaming and didn't know how much of a delay there was. But near the end of the song, maybe 30-40 seconds left I started dialing. I got a busy signal a bunch of times and actually was still getting busy when the ad ran. Then about 20-30 seconds after the ad I got a ring. It rang a lot before they answered. At least 20 to 30 times I think.

they've got to broadcast this show...

given U2's focus on visiting where they came from, this could be a fiery show

I'm going to have nightmares of that damn busy signal.

LemonMelon · 05-21-2015, 01:22 PM

I need to start calling over and over like a minute before the song ends.

Every time I see that one of you guys has posted here right around quarter past, I think you might have won!

Good luck!

romi · 05-21-2015, 01:42 PM

I'm not even listening. I just try calling between :58 to :05.

bono_212 · 05-21-2015, 01:45 PM

My favorite Chicago dj actually told us on air once when he clears the lines. Unfortunately, I can't remember if he said he clears them after the bump or right as it starts.

LemonMelon · 05-21-2015, 02:05 PM

Rang once, heard a voice and it dropped me out. Then I called again and it rang about 30 times before dropping me out.

Getting warmer?

corianderstem · 05-21-2015, 02:06 PM

Ha, I randomly tried calling in from Seattle. I did not win.
