Everyone,
EDIT/UPDATE: I expect that we will "soft launch" broadcastify.com sometime Tuesday afternoon / evening - most likely during the day on Wed.
Soft launch means we'll run both RadioReference and Broadcastify in parallel, allowing for a more smooth transition for everyone involved. That also means we'll probably go into November before we remove the feeds completely from RadioReference. This will allow us to do some good testing, guide the listener and broadcasting community, gather constructive feedback, let the search engines do their thing, allow the feed providers a bit of "color" before the big switch, and of course give us a few more weeks to finish up final development tasks.
For broadcasters, there will be no changes this week that will impact the availability of feeds, nor will there be any changes to premium subscription access. In a few weeks, when we completely migrate the live audio feeds to Broadcastify, we'll then implement the premium subscription credits and changes as outlined in the announcement. But for now, we don't have a firm date for that final transition point.
For listeners - nothing changes - except you'll be able to use the new Broadcastify interface to browse and listen to feeds in parallel with RadioReference.com starting this week.
Thanks for everyone's patience, and I'm looking forward to this week!
