Blues You Can Use Request Announcement
Feb 18th
Requests or dedications play an important part in the Blues You Can Use show…
Requests or dedications are taken by Instant Message by logging onto: www.detourblues.com/message, from 1-3pm, eastern. And from 3-5pm, the phones are activated, allowing listeners the opportunity to call in their requests… or just say hi. Give us a call at: 423-546-0360 or toll –free at: 888-895-0996 ext. 5.
Basically, our listeners “take over” programming of the show. When you send an Instant Message, or call the station with your request, we add your request to the show’s song rotation… the more requests, the better. This gives us a chance to see what our listeners like listening to, and let’s you… the listener, take over control of the station. You tell us which songs to play!

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

I’d like to invite any listeners or artists of the station to join me at the Freebird Forum. The administrators there have been kind enough to set up a forum for the station there, so I’m going to use this area to keep you posted of upcoming events before they even get listed on the station’s website, MySpace, or Soundclick pages.
