FTL & LRN.FM Updates

New Affiliates :: AMP Brings on Monster Radio Station

June 30th, 2018 - 1:28pm by FTL_Admin in

FTL welcomes three new affiliates including FM translators for our existing stations WIMS-AM in Michigan City, IN and KBJT-AM in Fordyce, AR. Also we welcome one of America's longest running, most successful, and top rated radio stations - WRKO-AM in Boston, MA! Affiliates don't get bigger than WRKO - 50,000 Watts! You can see our full affiliate list here .

How did we get one of the best stations in the U.S.? There were two critical parts that were both made possible by the Free Talk Live AMP program . First, the station lead came to us from Skip, the guy we've hired for years to represent the show via his "Talk Shows USA" company. Skip's an industry veteran and Program Directors look to him when they need quality shows. He was critical in helping WRKO come onboard. However, I closed the deal at the TALKERS conference we attended this month in NYC - also paid for by AMP.

Sunday Podcast Delayed Due to Forkfest Screwup

June 17th, 2018 - 11:41pm by FTL_Ian in

You may be wondering where the Sunday show archives are. The Sunday show is done but because of a mistake on my part where I sent the wrong show segments to our network on Saturday, the Saturday show never aired on the radio. Tonight, Sunday night, is when our radio audience heard Saturday's show. So, Sunday's show will run Monday evening and Monday's final Forkfest show runs on Tuesday. By then we'll be all caught up! Thanks for your patience and hope to see you next year at Forkfest 2019!

TALKERS Conference in Manhattan + Twitch Tips

It was our thirteenth year attending, as always thanks to the Free Talk Live AMPlifiers .

Our Twitch Crosses 300 Followers!

May 19th, 2018 - 10:34am by FTL_Ian in

This January, due to YouTube cutting our live feed for some Terms-of-Service violation they wouldn't specify, we switched our main stream to the gaming video streaming platform, Twitch . Not only are we now streaming in 720p HD quality, but now we've crossed the 300 mark for "followers" on the Twitch platform! If you're there, check out our channel at http://twitch.lrn.fm and give us a follow - if you're following the channel and notifications are turned on, you can either receive an email or notice on your phone if you have the Twitch app installed, whenever we go live! That's pretty handy.

Plus, if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, you get one free Twitch "subscription" per month you can use. If you haven't used it on another channel already, please assign it to us each month. It will stop you from having to see any of Twitch's commercials, and we get a small piece of your Twitch subscription cost....
