[WIP] Old time radio entertainment station

[tedhealy]

This will be an old time radio mod. It will be frequency 38, station 'Hollywood,' playing war time comedy, drama, mystery, very little music, and very very very rarely some news programs. I would estimate Roughly 90% of the files are played within 2 weeks of their actual broadcast date.

This station will be in operation from the beginning of the war until the end. Most all of the broadcasts are made at 20:00, but not all. Nearly all shows are 30 minutes in length. A new show is played every 1 to 2 weeks roughly, with several repeats of that broadcasts during that 1 to 2 week period. A typical schedule for a broadcast is first airing Sunday, then a repeat of that show on Wednesday. That is not always the case though as some shows start their rotation on a different date or get repeated a 3rd and 4th time depending on the availabilty of material for the month. Nearly 100% of shows run at least twice. The quality of volume is very good for most shows, but there are a few of them that have low volume and will be hard to hear without headphones or turning up the volume.

After some testing to see if it's possible, I most likely plan on limiting the range of the station to just short of Japanese waters. This is up in the air though.

There are 151 radio files making up this mod so the download will be quite large. You will need close to 1 gigabyte of space to use this mod - roughly 850 MB of space. Currently I can compress the package to about 370 MB using 7-zip, or I can split them using rar into 8 parts of 100MB each.

I'm planning on uploading to filefront an initial version this weekend. Any subsequent changes would only need a new or edited txt/ini file to change the date of programs or increase/decrease the number of times a show is repeated.
