So, look what an astute coworker of ours found - a mysterious link to 96 Wave online!
Although there remain many unanswered questions, the Charleston City Paper reports 96 Waves' hopeful potential as it comes alive via PC. See T. Ballard Lesemann's article.
It does appear upon brief inspection of the website that Chuck FM owns the rights or something of that nature. Who can tell at this point in the unfamiliar world of online radio. Is there a way to run this through our Sirius??? Probably not, but we're still dreaming of that one magical device that unites all the electronics, finally, together. At one. In peace. Dreams. Anyway, the website is clearly under construction as only the home page populates with each click; however, many of the page elements are there leaving bread crumbs along a dark trail for us to follow, until the full site is up and running. Rumor has it the old DJs will be back online and all the same ole things we've come to love.
Can't wait to check it out!
So, hope you enjoy the listen and if you find further information, please don't hesitate to update here. We just can't wait to see where this one goes. Now, let us go devise some evil plan that will mask the streaming audio from the IT guy's stringent, streaming audio blocking rules at the office...

96 Wave's Final Break?
Charleston Bloggers -- what happened to 96 Wave? Around 4:00 p.m. yesterday the office radio transitioned to some crappy, spinoff version of "Charles In Charge." Yes, I realize it sounds like a bad dream, but I know I was awake considering the light switches worked. A coworker promptly Googled 96wave's former website only to find it replaced by a horrifying sight...Chuck.
96Wave in its heyday was trendsetting and cutting edge with apparent staying-power in a cut-throat industry. At their start the sound of waves were played for, like, a week. Then they began the great music, and of course, it was a metamorphasis over time. Back to Chuck...let's just hope it doesn't suck as bad as it did today. Otherwise, we'll have to resort to the old CD collection back at the office next week. Most companies don't allow streaming music, nor am I sure if I can move around my own MP3 collection very easily since I am sans iPod to date.
Please post your opinion or behind the scenes info if you have the scoop on possibly the most recent corporate takeover. Thanks for visiting!
