Internet radio station ErrorFM has changed the airtime of its Sunday netcast of “Floydian Slip.”

The show will now be heard Sundays from 2-3 p.m. ET. It used to be an hour earlier.

The station’s Saturday streaming of the show remains the same: 11 p.m. ET.

“Floydian Slip” will begin airing on WDVT-FM “94.5 The Drive” in Rutland, Vt., beginning Saturday, May 1.

The Drive will air the show Saturdays from 10 to 11 p.m., and might be adding an additional air time on Sundays.

Since we began syndicating the show last summer from our Vermont studio our network of affiliate stations has grown to six.

The Drive is a 6,000-watt “classic hits” station that serves the Lebanon-Rutland-White River Junction market.

The station’s owned by Catamount Radio, which owns four other stations in Vermont.

Radio Universitaria 100.7 FM, our affiliate station in Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil, will begin airing “Floydian Slip” twice a week beginning next week.

Beginning April 3, the show will be heard at 12 noon (BST) each Saturday.

The show will continue to air Thursday nights, too, but at a new time: 10 p.m. (BST), two hours later than before.

Radio Universitaria is the station of Universidade Federal de Viçosa. Our show airs alongside “Musical Box,” a progressive rock program hosted by José Geraldo Barbosa.

“Floydian Slip” will begin airing on KTHO-AM/FM “K-Tahoe” in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., today, Saturday, Feb. 27.

K-Tahoe becomes the sixth affiliate to join the show’s Random Precision Radio Network, created last summer when we began syndicating the show from our Vermont studio.

KTHO is an AM/FM combo broadcasting at 590 AM and 96.1 FM at the southern tip of Lake Tahoe, alongside the Nevada border. It also streams in a variety of formats on the Web at www.kthoradio.com.

The 2,500-watt AM signal’s “local” area, as defined by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), reaches north to Reno, Nev.; “distant” area includes Sacramento; and the signal’s “fringe” area goes as far southwest to include San Francisco.

The 40-watt FM station is a “translator station,” simulcasting the AM station’s content to the local area at 96.1 FM.

“Floydian Slip” will air on K-Tahoe each Saturday at 6 p.m., local (Pacific) time.

We’ve dropped the fee we had been charging affiliate stations to air “Floydian Slip.” Or, in broadcasting parlance, we’ve shifted from a “cash” to a “barter” model. We hope the effect will be to get more affiliates to sign on to carry our weekly broadcast.

Why the change?

Stations just aren’t accustomed to paying cash for syndicated programming, no matter how low the price. Most expect to get shows like “Floydian Slip” without paying a fee. In exchange, they give airtime for syndicators’ network commercials that are included in their shows.

We’re focusing on expanding our Random Precision Radio Network, with hopes to eventually attract a network sponsor.

“Floydian Slip,” will begin airing on WRBA-FM “Arrow 959” in Panama City, Fla., on Sunday, Jan. 31.

Arrow 95.9 becomes the fifth affiliate to join the show’s Random Precision Radio Network, created last summer when we began syndicating the show from our Vermont studio.

Arrow 95.9 is a 50,000-watt classic rock station serving the Florida panhandle. It also streams on the Web at www.959online.com.

The station is part of Double O Radio, a South Carolina company that owns stations in several states.

The show will air on Arrow 95.9 Sundays at 11 p.m., local (Central) time.

We’re finalizing plans that will bring our weekly Pink Floyd broadcast to an FM station located in Florida’s panhandle.

Details coming soon …

“Floydian Slip” will begin airing weekly on Radio Universitaria 100.7 FM next week.

The show will air during the first hour of Jose Geraldo Barbosa‘s progressive rock show “Musical Box,” which runs Thursday nights from 9-11 p.m. local time — 6-8 p.m. Eastern time.

The station is housed at Universidade Federal de Vicosa, a public university that serves 12,000 students in the city of Vicosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Minas Gerais is the second most populous of Brazil’s 26 states.

In addition to broadcasting at 100.7 FM, the station also streams on the Web.

Radio Universitaria becomes the fourth affiliate to carry “Floydian Slip,” joining WBKM, Burlington, Vt., WIZN 106.7 FM, Burlington, Vt.; and ErrorFM Channel 2, London, U.K.

In January, Floydian Slip will move from ErrorFM’s “Channel 1” to “Channel 2.”

The show will be heard at the same times: Sundays, 11 p.m.; and Saturdays, 1 p.m. Eastern time.

The change is part of ErrorFM’s rebranding “Channel 1” to become an all-talk station.

Until January, you can hear the show on both channels.

Netcaster ErrorFM has changed the time of its Sunday rebroadcast of “Floydian Slip” to 1-2 p.m. Eastern time.

The station will continue to stream the show Saturday nights, too, at 11 p.m.
