Feb 8th
The Blues You Can Use show, hosted by John Tibbs will not be broadcast today! John has picked up some kind of “bug” during the weekend and was given some medicine and told to “take it easy and get some rest”, so that is what he is going to do. He will be back on Tuesday, February 9th, broadcasting live and taking your requests and dedications. Today (February 8th) is John’s birthday and he was looking forward to spending it with his listeners, but… he got this “unwanted” birthday present!
detour BLUES Experiencing Technical Difficulties – UPDATE!
Jan 28th
On Jan.25, 2010, this message was posted by admin…
“detour BLUES is currently experiencing technical difficulties. detour MUSIC will replace detour BLUES until the technical issues are sorted out. Sorry about this! Stop back by for additional updates.”
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the studios here at detour BLUES were without power from approximately 6:30am – 2:00pm. In calling the local power company, we were informed that the branch circuit that supplied us had developed a problem and was kicking the circuit breaker and they would have to go out in the field and physically locate the problem. While the station does have UPS, our batteries won’t last that long. During that time, The Detour, www.thedetour.us, our sister station provided programming for us, and while their programming is not strictly blues such as ours, we appreciate their support. Steps are being taken to prevent this problem from arising in the future. Thanks for your understanding.
Respectfully,
John Tibbs – Station Administrator

Problems During Month Of December
Dec 29th
Hi everybody… the station had a few problems during the month of December. One of the problems had to do with the power company. An accident took out the transformer which supplies power to the station and in the process took out the UPS power supply and corrupted a few of the files that manage the station. Those problems are now fixed and complete backups are standing by in case this should ever happen again. Next time it should only be a matter of a few minutes before things will be restored.
New things are being added for the upcoming year. John Tibbs will be back broadcasting his show, “Blues You Can Use” from 1-5pm eastern time, daily. This is a live broadcast and you can make requests and dedications anytime during the show. Check back… more details to come shortly.
