Greetings,

This appears to be similar to the BBC "Listen again" facility.

Hello to you out there in ACB Radio land,

Following feedback from ACB Radio listeners, and some testing behind the
scenes, it is my pleasure to announce ACB Radio Replay.

The new ACB Radio Replay service provides listeners with the opportunity to
listen again to all recent ACB Radio Main Stream programmes from the
previous seven days. This
includes many shows which are not normally archived.

To access ACB Radio Replay, select Main Stream  from the list of contents
on
the ACB Radio home page at www.acbradio.org, on the subsequent  page select
Replay which you will find under Main Stream.  Then simply choose which day
you would like to hear.

Each day's programming on ACB Radio Main Stream usually begins at 01:00
Universal
which is equivalent to the previous evening in the United States. During
the
US Winter
this is 8PM Eastern 5PM Pacific, and during the US Summer Main Stream shows
start
an hour later at 9PM Eastern 6PM Pacific. This is when you should tune in
to
ACB
Radio Main Stream for the first run of programmes, and the time at which
you
will
hear ACB Radio Main Stream shows for the first time.

Following their first run on ACB Radio Main Stream, The full set of ACB
Radio Main Stream programmes from each day can be replayed from the Replay
page at any time for up to one week.

So for example, To replay Main Menu which is first heard on Tuesday
evenings
in the US and which is recycled throughout Wednesdays, choose the link
labelled Replay Wednesday.

To be absolutely sure we don't miss the beginning of the programme block,
the Replay service will capture about 30 seconds of the proceeding
programme.

We sincerely hope the new ACB Radio Replay service helps you hear all Main
Stream shows at a time which works for you.  The Replay service is still in
active development and may occasionally produce unexpected results, so we
do
need your feedback to make sure ACB Radio Replay is exactly what you want.
Let us know what you think through the ACB Radio Friends email group.

Very special thanks to everyone who has helped get this service off the
ground, especially Tony for nagging us about it <grin>, and Geoff Shang who
wrote the back end.
