| OTRNow is a website located at www.otrnow.com that has been webcasting on the Internet since 1999. It is a listener supported webcast that presents oldtime radio on 2 different channels, a podcast and in a syndicated 3 hour program heard on WSRQ 106.9 FM / 1220 AM in Sarastota Florida, Sunday Evenings. |
| Rick Radtke was the programmer of one of the first stations webcasting on Shoutcast and then moved to LIVE 365 in the year 2000. The 2 oldtime radio webcasts OTRNow Live and Crimetime are frequently in the top ten of the thousands of stations webcasting today. |
OTRNow LIVE! presents a new 12 hour of programming repeated twice everyday, most show webcast on the anniversary of the original broadcasts. It includes a sampling of all genres, from news and sports to comedy, crime, drama, variety and talk shows. |
| CRIMETIME presents only crime, adventure and mystery and is updated with 67 hours of programming every few weeks. Both programs log in over 180,000 listening hours a month. |
| The podcast is a 2 1/2 hour show featuring all genres published every few weeks and can be downloaded at our website or on itunes. |
| Many
collectors noticed that the quality of webcasted programs were often better
than what they had in their collections. I started receiving continual requests
for copies of my collection, and I resisted for a while. But as the cost of
webcasting rose (Yes I have to pay to webcast!) it seemed like a good way to
support the webcasting costs. Listeners not only contributed the the webcast
but received shows or DVD's in return. In 2002, I opened a small store, which today sells
not only MP3's, but regular CD Audio discs, DVDs and books. |
So now, thanks to the
support of listeners and radio fans, our webcast is free of sign-up fees,
anyone can listen, any time, any day, from any place in the
world! Our station still relies on donations so please donate only what you think it is worth to hear oldtime radio anytime and in as many possible forms as possible!
