Tue, 22 November 2005 Over the last few weeks and episodes we have experienced a sharp downturn in our audience. Some of our listeners have reported problems downloading our show in this time and it has led us to question whether these downloading problems are widespread and if they are turning listeners away from our show. Thus far we have been unable to find any evidence of widespread issues that could explain this much of a decline in our audience. Below is a graph of our audience decline. It seems highly unusual that the nice upward trend we had would suddenly stop and then drop dramatically without some sort of external factor affecting it.
Today Boing Boing is reporting that Rogers and Shaw Cable ISP services are causing widespread problems with podcast downloading through iTunes, downloads from the iTunes Music Store in general, BitTorrent and other P2P activity. This is clearly the problem we have experienced personally and have had reported to us by other listeners. It stands to reason that a podcast about hockey in Toronto would have a large portion of listeners using Rogers as an ISP. This policy instituted by these ISPs is offensive to its customers and furthermore it is damaging the hard work of podcasters and other creators of legal online content. It is absolutely ridiculous that Rogers and Shaw are trying to pull of this kind of policy. What is even worse is that they are not even acknowledging that this filtering of traffic is taking place when customers report the problem. We ask our listeners to be patient, and if you are experiencing this problem try downloading the MP3 directly from the site. Category: general -- posted at: 12:55 AM Comments[10] |
Great work. Being stuck in Tokyo, it's uplifting to hear about the Buds, even given their horrible play of late.
I think your call about letting the Marlie rooks skate their butts off to maintain position is terrific, especially in light of assinine penalties 'vets' are taking. . .
Is there so much dead wood in the dressing room (especially on D) that they simply can't inspire themselves let along others? is some fresh blood with skating ability just what they need (Marlie D)? When on earth is Sundin going to step up? Unreal . . .
BTW Guys, you gotta change the Rigamoral intro segment. .sounds like a cover of the ficticious Autobahn band featured in The Big Lebowski. . hurting.
Anyway, keep up the great work, and let's get some more emphasis on Team Canada, as we Leaf fans are withering with teh play of late. . . hey, how many listeners tune in??? really curious.
Oh, and the new flashback segment is money. . wurd.
Go Leafs, go!
Trace in Tokyo.
