Soft Launch Planned to Test Systems

Given the phenomenal response to the project, the BX Radio Network has decided it will run a 'Soft Launch' on September 1st, 2005 of it's Cool Cast Radio station. This will allow us to gauge traffic and other systems and processes to ensure the best possible experience for both listeners and broadcasters.

It is one of our goals to reach as many people as possible, and in this light we will be using the soft launch to broadcast a scaled down version of the station's content. We expect the soft launch to continue through September 30th, 2005, at which time we will be looking at going into 'Full Launch' status.

We will of course be adding in new content and features through the entire process. If you would like to join the BX Radio Network family of podcasters, advertisers or writers, please contact us to get started.

We look forward to becoming your choice for online podcast content.

Look Ethel...It's a Podcast!

All joking aside, if you thought the young people of the world are the only ones into the latest Internet trends, you may be wrong, and survey company CLX has come out with a poll suggesting just that. According to the story on Podcasting News, podcasting is most popular with those over 45, weighing in at 21%. The 15-24 year old age bracket came in at a much lower 13% proving that the 'young whipper snappers' don't always have the upper hand on the latest and greatest.

This of course comes as no surprise to us at the BX Radio Network as we have embraced listeners of ALL ages with the diverse brands of podcast content we intend to broadcast on the Cool Cast Radio station. The goal as always, is to bring the newest and freshest podcast content to those that want it and perhaps even to those that don't even know they want it yet.

List of Signed Podcasters Grows

There are of course many more to come, including some very exciting and notable people in their field. Watch this blog for more announcements or tie in to our blog site feed at http://bxradio.blogspot.com/atom.xml for the most current BX Radio Network and Cool Cast Radio updates.

Cool Cast Radio Signs First Podcasters to Station

IT's OFFICIAL! Cool Cast Radio has started signing it's first podcasters to it's online radio station. Among those who have signed an agreement to be broadcast on the BX Radio Network's podcast radio station, are Mitch Keeler's Web Hosting Show and Joan Winberg of JLW Enterprises.

(excerpt from Mitch's website) "After listening to such online radio shows as the Chris Pirillo Show and Changing Media, I wanted to pursue the same format and process. Instead of the world of technology in general though, I decided to focus in on what I know best, Web hosting."

(excerpt from Joan's website) "Joanie Winberg is a speaker, a Relationship Coach, an Advanced Human Behavior Consultant, a Certified Laughter Coach and founder/president of JLW Enterprises, Inc. She coaches individuals nationwide to reach their highest potential both personally and professionally."

There are many more podcasts quickly moving through the approval process, and these are just the first in a long list of quality content providers to come. We also still have an open invitation to any podcasters interested in being broadcast on Cool Cast Radio.
