Though its says it starts at 10.04pm, which is bizzare. Ever faithfull UK teletext has also mentioned it as well, claming riverrun news will be announed and album details possibly.

How the server won't max out!

NME sez: "the show will be the latest installment of their broadcasts, which have previously been unannounced."

Wrong.

And anyway, maybe there's a reason they're not announced in the music press?

i sure hope the radio stream doesn't fracture to pieces...last time around, there were a few too many "in the wire"!

It says that the show will also be getting broadcast by some Dutch mob called VPRO who do TV and radio via their digital and terestrial radio network. Anyone know if that station is on Sky? I mostly just listen to the bhangra shows..

if you have a mac you can re-broadcast fairly easy using nicecast (it's a no-brainer). last one that i was on high speed i remember re-seeding to about 10 friends... now if every dirt did that a lot of the dirty community load could go to other servers

It'll start after the 11:00 news here in holland, so 10:04 is right I guess.
VPRO radio/3voo12(BPM) is one of the licence holders to broadcast here in holland and dos so at the radiostation called 3FM. I think it's only on ASTRA 1G as for satellite feeds, but look into the details of the ones you can recieve if it's on there too.
3FM and VPRO have radio streams too. And they can handle large audiences since they're used during Pinkpop and Lowlands festivals too when many people listen and watch online.

Here's the digital satellite info you need: link. Not sure if the cards UK/anywhere outside NL will be good enough tho because although its free to air, its free-to-air conditional: "* Free conditional reception: Service is encrypted but free of charge. Equipment and smart card required for dencoding."

Another info page is the Satmania page which seems to indicate that people all over europe can receive this.
