Not available anymore, sorry to those that missed out. You may still be able to get Von Manteuffel's Command Performances.

Thanks much to Von Manteuffel for kick starting this idea in my brain :hmm:

What I'd like to do is this, have new stations dedicated entirely to one show. Sort of a satellite radio mod. For example, have a new station that only plays Abbott & Costello shows, a station that only plays the Shadow, one that only plays Sherlock Holmes...etc.

They would all be released as separate downloads so you could pick and choose the stuff you are interested in. Only install the station that plays the content you want. At this point, I'm thinking I wouldn't really stick to scripting these shows to play during their actual air date. I think I'll start on this during the weekend.

Yeah, you got the idea. I'm thinking the series of downloads that I do would concentrate on drama and comedy for the most part. You could mod these stations to do whatever you wanted, but I'd put them out as stations broadcasting the entire war and able to be heard from anywhere on the map.

So far, I'm thinking my attempt at a news broadcasts for now would be left with the split washington mod going in anothe [WIP] thread. I may very well do another single station devoted to just news that would go along with this mod though...not sure.

Von Manteuffel · 04-06-07, 05:07 PM

In tandem with the King of the Airwaves ( aka Tedhealy) I'll be working on a number of stations to add to his splendid mod. I'm working on one which will be purely Glenn Miller; and propose to work on stations based on the U.S. wartime "Command Performance" and "Guest Artist" series of broadcasts.

It looks as though Ted is, initially, concentrating on comedy and drama, so I'll focus on music.

tedhealy · 04-06-07, 05:07 PM

Looking things over, I'd say there should be enough content for at least 20 stations, maybe 30+. I would want around 40+ shows for each station so at least one a month could be played. Each show is usually 25 to 30 minutes. I'd probably settle for as few as 20 shows per station playing each one for 2 months straight possibly. I'll probably stick to doing shows made during or before the war years. I doubt I'd do radio shows from after 1945.

Here's what I'm looking at more or less for station releases...

Abbott and Costello
Adventures by Morse
Arch Olbers
Bergen and McCarthy
Burns and Allen
Avalon Time
Bing Crosby
Boston Blackie
Campbell Playhouse
Amos and Andy
Air Adventures of Jimmy Allen
Aldrich Family
Captain Midnight
Avenger
Birdseye Open House
Blue Beetle
The Whislter
Superman
Sherlock Holmes
The Shadow
Life of Reily
Dick Tracy
Fibber Mcgee and Molly

I'd be totally into a 'The Shadow' station. Ever since the movie I've been a fan.

bunkerratt · 04-09-07, 07:47 PM

ted it seems we are about on the same page lately lol...but you have alot more sources than i do ...but thats a good thing ...while you build jack benny ..i'll listen to charlie chan ...

.......just bustin your chops man...thanks for the awsome effort ..with all the stuff being added to the radio mod it adds so much imersion ..i actually turned the dam boat around becuse i was loosing signal on the dam news ....then i crusied around in a circle for 30 mins to hear it all ...yes the war is going well ...i find my self roaming the dam pacific trying to find radio stations insted of ships....

tedhealy · 04-09-07, 11:36 PM

Jack Benny will have 83 30 minute shows and be 540 MB uncompressed. 2 new shows every month on the 6th and 21st. It was hard cutting 40 some shows from the original 120 I had, but many that got cut were poor quality audio. Except for a handful, shows are broadcast in order, but not usually on their original air date. All are made in the correct year and many holiday show are played in the correct month.

I need to go over the events.ini and test it in game. I'll upload it tomorrow.

Next up? The Shadow knows.

clayton · 04-09-07, 11:43 PM

Ted, I'm running out of hard drive space...

Thanks...

I would anxiously await this mod! I hope you can bring it to life.

Shadow9216 · 04-06-07, 05:58 PM

Nowe we need a mod to the campaign so we get credit for just sailing around listening to the radio

Seriously guys, this radio concept is amazing- I've probably spent more time just listening to the files on the laptop than I have actually playing it!

tedhealy · 04-06-07, 07:09 PM

I know what you mean.

You can add the lone ranger, mail call, and maybe some red skelton to the list.

The first station I'll do is Abbott and Costello. It will definitely be done this weekend, maybe even a second station too.

Von Manteuffel · 04-06-07, 07:53 PM

Currently working on:

Glenn Miller - Too much material for a single station - may be 2, or even 3

Command performance - A U.S. forces variety show featuring the huge stars of the day that ran from early 42 to way after the end of hostilities. Will probably be organised in years '42 to '45 ( i.e. 4 "stations" )

Avalon Time Pre-Pearl Harbour, but great quality and a vintage Red Skelton comedy/variety show.

Only problem is I'm having so much fun listening progress is a bit slow.

davejb · 04-06-07, 08:02 PM

If I might be so bold...
where are you grabbing the shows from? I currently have 4 stations on the go - CBS (Capt Midnight), CBS News (the news items from the SH4 folder), Washington, and 'swing' which consists of a bunch of Glenn Miller etc that somebody linked to on here - I just converted the WAV's to MP3 for the radio. I wouldn't mind trying to produce something, provided I can source the material without being sued!
