Hi JacKatMtn - would you refresh my memory as to what the direct url is to the show site? The pop-outs don't work for me (never have) and I don't have the patience to adjust my comp. settings. Cheers.

ETA: never mind, I found it. Should be more entertaining than watching CNN/Fox

The site player has been a bit dodgy lately.. if that is an issue, you can always go here:

www.illustrial.net...

I believe that both stream options are available there as well

reply to post by JacKatMtn


Well, since my wonderful intuitiveness didn't catch this thread let me say that I might have to rework my schedule so that I may participate.

I know everyone wants to hear my opinions.

Stop on by if you get the chance

reply to post by JacKatMtn


I'll certainly try.

God I really really really want to hear this live , the last ats marathon show that I remeber was the christmas show that ran like 8 hours or so and that was just a blast.
I am seriously thinking of streaming this tonight at work ( a small artisan bakery) and yup I believe that I will hehehe .

*giggidy*

I got tomorrow off.

We go live in just about two hours.

Come join in the Above Politics 2012 US Election Day Special. We want to hear from you. Refer to the OP for the ways to contact the studio live.

America, I voted already... have you? Whatever your choice, please vote.

Okay folks here is how it is going to play out

I will be leaving my domicile at 1545hrs EST to meet my wife and vote. My polling place is less than 10 minutes from home.

If there are no lines, or minimal, the show will start right at 1700hrs EST

If we run into some lines, it could go a little later

Point being, the SHOW WILL GO ON, so do not give up if I am a few minutes late

Going LIVE in 2 Hours!!!


Stop on by, better yet, get your skype rig all squared away and call in to share your thoughts on today's elections..


While their may be gnashing of teeth later on this evening, I think everyone can agree that we here in the US have a very cherished ability to vote for who represents are voice be it local, state or national..

Hope to see you there

Procrastinator!!

Still hoping to start in an hour... semperpending

Redneck will be making his appearance.

I will be heading to the polls about 30 minutes after our illustrious mis-leader plans to start the show, but the lines are so far non-existent here and it's 5 minutes away. So while I might be gone for a few minutes, it won't be long.

I'm having epic fail with some poor internet connections tonight.

Have you tried the 32kbps stream option?... works great on my low bandwidth connection..

reply to post by JacKatMtn


YAY! Thanks!

"Monkey" glad to see ATS bringing Americans together.

I voted for Gary Johnson but this type of discourse is seriously uncalled for! I honestly expected better from

ATS.
