Greetings denizens of AC,
I've recently decided to start a project that has been done before but will be done again. I am starting my own AC radio. I will hope to accomplish providing news, member feedback, spotlights on member music, member interviews (devs would be a plus :D), mapping and modding reviews, and an environment to talk loads of smack for all you trolls out there.
ACR will use skype and will be broadcast by me as often as I can get enough material to make a full broadcast.
I will rely on community input to make this a success. I will also be contacting a few people individually to make the first full broadcast but if you have something to share, PM me here on the forums, contact me on IRC (quakenet or gamesurge) or email me at pbandjwaflles [at] gmail [dot] com (note the misspelling of "Waffles").
ACR will use Skype to set up calls. You will have my skype name as soon as you contact me with interest. Partially, I will contact you but i intend for this to be the voice of the people and it will merely be hosted by me.
You can listen to the intro, and subsequent casts, here
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/asaaultcube-radio
Any and all feedback is much appreciated provided it is mildly constructive.
Keep a look out on IRC and here for news of the first live broadcast.
EDIT: I apologize in advance for the Ads at the site.
EDIT 2: The intro is just a joke and is no way meant to be maliciously offensive.

Sounds good. Hope all works out great! Maybe make a weekly newspaper?
X-Ray_Dog calls dibs on newspaper idea and will partner with Waffles if the radio gig fails :/
Lol I have confidence that you can do the radio news, don't get me wrong :D

Two things stood out to me: the ads, and whatever was playing in the background during the first match.
Other than that, it seemed pretty good. I hope to catch one live sometime.

Lets all remember the first sexiest host of AC radio Adam who founded the program 2 years ago.

@Lantry,
That was a hurricane/news report playing in the background. Also, that was just a test run of streaming capability. Due to the hurricane, I didn't expect it to record fully. Sorry about the poor quality of that haha. Will figure out how to balance sound better as well. Thanks for the input.

Other than the background noice i thought it was good commentary on the match, so the the AC community doesn't have to be at the match to see how well players are doing xD GJ

The first broadcast is coming soon. I've decided to pre-record the interviews and just play them at the time of the live broadcast. SKB is going to allow me to use his sexy stream capabilities to review maps and mods. If you've made a map and want it blurbed/spotlighted/etc. PM me or find me in IRC.
@rezobro,
Thanks :D. hopefully video quality might get better along with improvements i've already made to audio.

@darKnot,
I don't run on win so I use a different method but it's all essentially the same. Ustream has issues with ADs and whatnot so if it'd be possible to move it I'd be very interested. PM me with details and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Alright it's been a awhile coming but the first broadcast will be on sunday at 6pm EST which is 11pm GMT. There will be an interview with RR and v-man, a map review of ac_cilla, and some news from the community. Hope you all can tune in and contribute in any way. Thanks,
Waffles

Im really liking this project Waffles and everyone else involved with the preparations. I spent a a good hour listening to some of the confusing lingo:P, and learned a few things. I think if I listen some more, and explore, I'll understand some of it more GREAT JOB :)
