Donegal Folks - We're on Highland Radio !

LegacyUser

Mainly of interest to Donegal users, I am being interviewed on Shaun Doherty show on Highland Radio tomorrow (Friday) - sometime after 10:30 a.m.

For those outside Donegal, Highland radio is easily the most popular radio show in the area - also the most successful in Ireland with 66% market share in the area! Shaun Doherty is their Pat Kenny/Gerry Ryan equivalent

The station actually broadcasts live audio but I can't get it to work for some reason - anyone who wants to try, it's at www.highlandradio.com

Great Stuff Martin

I tried their site there just a few mins ago. I think the link toitheir live stream is wrong....

vnd.ms.radio:http://www.cyberworld.ie/radio/Highland.asx

I think the bit @ the start is wrong !!??
If they fix it before then, I'll definitley listen in. If you can get it onto tape/cd, you can send it to Niall for addition to our downloads section.

Great Stuff

[ PS- I'll take your word for it that Shaun Doherty is a superstar ]

If I leave off the vnd.ms.radio: it tries to connect but then gives up with a "server too slow to handle request" error.

Ah, roll on broadband

Too Right!!!

Whe I cut & paste the url into my Win MEdia Player this message appears after about a minute...

There was no timely response from the server
Error ID = 0xC00D0013, Remedy ID = 0x00000000
The file you want to play is on a server that did not respond in a timely manner. Windows Media Player attempted to make contact with the server that holds the file you wanted to play. For a number of reasons, including Internet traffic, a lost modem connection to your service provider, that server did not respond during the time that Windows Media Player waits for a response. So Windows Media Player gave up waiting for the server to respond and stopped trying to play that file. Try to play the file at another time.

Words dont describe the continuing frustration these little things cause me. How come everybody in the western world can hear bloody Highland Radio and I cant!!! AAAGGGGHHH!!!!

Got it working now.

Don't know if this is significant, but I downloaded latest components for Media Player. This gives toolbar at top. When I tried to connect from link on site got a network error. I then clicked on Radio Stations dropdown list, selected Highlandradio which had been added automatically to most recent list, and I'm now listening to it

Listening to Highland Radio from Germany. No connections problems at all -- works flawlessly! Now, if only they could stream it as a 192kbps MP3 Pro stream as well...

LegacyUser

Aargh. Damn. I read this thread a day too late. I get Highland Radio although I seldom listen to it. How did the interview go? Has anyone recorded it to download from the net?

I arranged someone to tape it for me but umfortunately the tape recorder decided to go wrong just as the interview started

Think it very unlikely that anyone else would have recorded it.

From feedback I've had, it seemed to go ok but hard for me to judge as I haven't even heard it myself - if you know what I mean

Ah well. Just a pity I missed it.
