2PR FM Second Test Broadcast - Another Successful Step
Updated Monday 25th January 2010 at 3:20 am


Like all good things, our second test broadcast has come and gone.  Again, it has been a good lengthy schedule loaded with a fresh collection of programming, and an ever-expanding playlist, which at present sits at 3700 tracks.  Ultimately, our music selection system will reach around 15,000 to 20,000 tracks, a feet that will change the face of radio, particularly in the new age of digital and internet broadcasting.

Our second test commenced on Monday morning 28th December 2009, with three goals in mind, a) developing our studio software further, b) testing out our new broadcasting environment, and c) getting the word of 2PR FM out into the press.  With the test concluding on the morning of Monday 25th January 2010, we are happy to announce that everything succeeded way past expectation. 

This has also allowed us to reevaluate our action plan, and with a good amount of feedback, allow us to better focus our broadcasting assets in relation to widening our exposure.

To conclude, they were 28 full days of broadcasting, further improvements in program listening links, three new programs introduced to the schedule, a further 1,200 tracks added to the play list, and above all, perfect mp3 streaming from our hosts from start to finish. 

Please find below the details from our last test, and more information and announcements of future test broadcasts.
