.... AND THE BEAT GOES ON ....

.... BUT NOT AS FREQUENTLY
AS I HAD HOPED!

When we first came onto the Internet, under the URL http://ruggiero.dns2go.com (now an inactive link), my weekly broadcast on Shoutcast Radio was the primary reason for running this site.  Remember?

Since then, Ruggiero AV Services has become more than the sum of its parts, and I am continually working to expand the Personal Computer technical support aspect of this site.  This often means that our Shoutcast stream takes a backseat to my other projects.  Since mid-December, 2005 which coincided with a physical move and change in facilities, I have only been able to dedicate a limited amount of time to compiling twelve hours worth of content, and keeping our playlist current.

It is with regret, therefore, that I must suspend our weekly broadcast indefinitely.  I will continue, however, to offer monthly mixes "On Demand" as I can still dedicate the time to a quality hour-long or two hour-long mix.  In addition, the offering of streaming content is keeping in line with the growing popularity of this "delivery vehicle" due to the increase in portable media players, and the proliferation of broadband services like DSL.  Many people are now using the computer as an overall media center, and extension of their stereo systems and televisions, as opposed to performing more utilitarian tasks with them, such as word-processing.

It is only fair to mention that our weekly broadcast was made possible through the technology pioneered by Shoutcast.com -- they still have thousands of online radio stations available, playing everything from rock to pop, from classical to techno, some 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  You are sure to find a station which fits your mood at any given time.  Meanwhile, we MAY return with a "live" broadcast at a later date, but at this time, I cannot guarantee it.

I would like to take this opportunity to THANK all of those people who have made requests, tuned in, and kept up with the stream through the years.  You know who you are.  I truly enjoy "mixing it up" for you, and will continue to do so each month... keep checking our ON DEMAND page for updates. 

Keep on movin'!
"DJ" Joey R.
