| Some serious hardcore numbers |
|
Congratulations and thanks to everyone that tuned into yesterday's live show with DJ Silver on HappyHardcore.com Radio. In case you missed it we managed to get over 820 (including premium members) people simultaneously tuned in for the show from every reach of the world - we even had people in Iraq tuned in. In fact we had so many people listening that our 56k stream maxed in 45secs! While the show was underway we increased the 56k limits to three times the regular amount and will continue with the new expanded stream capacity going forward.
Numbers don't lie, we would have been happy to have gotten 600 people, but 800 is out the world - if you know something about internet radio broadcasting you will know how massive these numbers are.
HappyHardcore.com radio and hardcore itself is fueled by the people listening - thanks to everyone that tuned in your're all part of hardcore history. Look for more live to air shows very soon including added video streaming. Let's get 1,000 hardcore fans tuned in for the next round! |
