A while back, I asked for input on what would be a better use of the blank space on the streaming schedule page, since only a few dozen stations are still being maintained.
The station notes have always been available, but required a little observation of the links on the left side. I’ve been reluctant to make this more visible. Given the types of personalities common in radio and watching other places where “radio biz” people congregate, the potential is very probable that people will add notes like “the program directory of this station screwed my 14 year old sister and then wouldn’t pay for the abortion!”. I don’t need that.
Instead of a link, I added embedding of the station notes. If the station doesn’t stream or there are no schedule records., there will be no schedule.
If this gets abused, it will get locked down – limited to trusted people, maybe screening before being visible, maybe it will go away. It would be totally normal for sock puppets to show up – someone creates a throwaway email account, posts something like “We should round up all the [_____], rape them and burn them to death”, post it, take a screenshot and then say that the web site thinks that. I see all the notes immediately if I’m awake. Adding a note requires having an account and being logged in. An obvious protectionis treating new user notes more skeptically. It isn’t possible for non trusted users to post links or embed HTML or JavaScript, although I can’t say anything with 100% certainty.
