Camp Shohola and WCSR have been
Podcasting and streaming
since 1993 and we are proud to be one of the first
PODCASTERS in
the world. You may download any of the programs below to your computer
or personal MP3 player and listen whenever you wish.
Our featured program for 2008 is
an interview with comic writer and illustrator Lora Innes of Columbus
Ohio. Her superbly written on line comics can be found on the web
page www.thedreamercomic.com.
Here is the recorded interview played on July 4th 2008.
Here is a recording of one of our Roller
Hockey games from last summer.
We have added two new dramatic programs
this summer, (4 and 5 below).
We have now produced more than ten
radio dramatic productions called "Shohola Mystery Theatre".
Click on a link to hear one of
our original feature programs.
1. The
COUNTselor of Cabin 13.
2. Attack
of the Giant Camp Creatures.
3. Recording
of the "LIVE" broadcast of "Camp Mars".
4. Attack
of the Giant Camp Creatures 2005 version.
5. Wolfman
Sam and the Breath of Death (Recorded Live).
The first two programs were digitally
recorded in our television studio with post production by Joan Bogden.
The third program was actually broadcast "LIVE" at 10:00 PM. The fourth
program was a re-recording of a popular program previously written, and
the final program listed here was written by Joan and is based on a popular
camp story. It was broadcast live on Sunday, July 17, 2005 after five rehearsals.
Duncan Barger was NOT in the studio on #3, he reported in live over the
telephone while listening on the radio. All programs were written produced
and directed by Joan Bogden with input and ideas from many of the campers
featured on the shows. Recording Engineer was Tom Gibson for the first
two programs with Madison Smith running the broadcast console for the third one. Credits
for the programs are recorded at the end of each show. We hope you enjoy
listening to our dramatic productions. Where else can anyone learn the
art, science and skill of performing live radio drama, but Camp Shohola?
In addition to radio broadcasting, portions of
the WCSR broadcast day can be heard on Camp Shohola Cable Television Channel
98, on an audio broadcast in buildings through out Camp Shohola, on the Internet
using a standard MP3 audio stream, and occasionally on a World
wide satellite broadcast on SatComm IV, transponder 7A, audio sub channel
4.2 or 4.8.

Please check our other streams, if you can't find the programming you
are looking for. So far
this summer we have recorded or transmitted live broadcasts of soccer,
basketball, hockey, chess, tennis, aquatic events, the WCSR Radio
Mystery
Marathon, and many other camp and Pike County events. We are able to
provide
ten, 24K audio streams through our servers, fed directly from the WCSR
master control console program line. We also provide limited high
bandwidth streams for those able to receive them.
This service is provided to allow parents
and friends to listen to the announcers on the air at WCSR and IM requests
directly to the studio. IM information is at the bottom of the page.
Technical information about our audio and video streams.
Since there is a buffering delay on the audio
stream to reduce reception interruptions, the studio camera picture will
not be synchronized with the audio. The amount of the delay will depend
on you connection speed.
The web cam delay is about 1 second with the
refresh rate dependent on your connection speed. You CAN see and hear at
the same time on a 56k modem, although the refresh rate will be slow on
the web cam.
Show times are approximate. We will program
recorded shows or rebroadcast another station when no one is programming locally.
In an effort to conserve bandwidth and not exceed
our transfer limits, the audio stream will terminate in ONE hour.
If you would like to continue to listen, please click your play button
again.
Please DO NOT access the audio or video feeds unless
you are sitting at your computer watching and/or listening.
Here are LINKS
to the audio stream data pages which
contains technical information
and a play list of prerecorded songs when we program directly from the
computer. If any of the pages are not loading, it probably means the
server is not running. The servers are usually turned off during severe
Pocono Mountain thunderstorms, at night, and occasionally for
maintenance.
http://216.198.102.7:8000 for the main AM and FM, low bandwidth, 24K monaural feed.
http://216.198.102.7:8001 for the FM high bandwidth 96K stereo feed directly from FM master Control room in Greeley.
http://216.198.102.7:8002 for the 96K AM feed, in stereo when streaming from the computer or the remote back feed.

How to listen to one of our streams:
Would you like to listen to WCSR, but are unable to receiver our broadcast signals?
We invite you to listen to one of our Internet Broadcast Audio
Streams. Just click on one of the links above to listen to AM, FM, or
the low bandwidth audio stream if you are using a dial up service. If a
link doesn't take you anywhere, it probably means a computer crashed,
it is late at night, or we have shut down the network because of an
electrical thunderstorm.
Please call (717) 845-5086, for the FM control or
AM
Master Control Room, and ask the engineer to re-start the stream so you can
listen.
After you click on the link below, you may have to click on the
'LISTEN' button at the top of the page. We also program a third music
stream for listeners that do not have high speed Internet service.
Use this link for our low bandwidth audio stream if you are using a
dial-up modem service.
We are streaming using standard
MP3 audio streams. You should be able
to listen using Winamp, Real Audio, Quicktime, Windows Media Player or
any other MP3 player. Unfortunately, Windows Media Player does not recognize the
'listen.pls'
extension. You will have to cut and paste the URL into the player,
without the extension, as described below.
Please stop your player, when you are not actually listening, to help
Camp Shohola save bandwidth and allow others to listen. (We do have
limited resources.)
Read this section if you are having problems.
Our standard MP3 streams can be played using many different media players for
Widows, Macintosh, and *nix operating systems.
Our MP3 streams, available in the .pls format, will play natively in
Winamp, iTunes, Real Player or most audio media players. If you have one of these programs just
click
one of the "listen live" buttons at the top of the page
to listen to one of our streams. If you must use Microsoft's Windows Media
Player, you will need the latest version with all updates and patches
installed, and then follow the instructions below. We suggest
installing the latest free version of Winamp. The web address to install one of the free version is http://www.winamp.com/player/free.php.
To use the FULL or the LITE version, (recommended) click on the
download button at the bottom of the column of your choice, then save
and run the setup program. Please listen to a low bandwidth
stream if your computer is not connected to a high fidelity audio
system. All of our streams have a listener limit and will
terminate after one hour of listening. Click on your play button
to continue listening. It is possible you will not be able to
listen if all of the servers are full.
These links are direct audio feeds from computers in the
radio station. It is the responsibility of the announcer on the air
to stream audio on the Internet. If the stream is not connecting, the announcer
chose not to stream audio on the Internet, OR your
ISP will not allow
high bandwidth audio and video streams. Additionally, some companies
and organizations
will set up fire walls to deny the reception of audio and video streams
to reduce bandwidth consumption by blocking ports 8000 to 8999, the
audio and video streaming ports. Our streams might also be turned
off briefly, for computer or network maintenance, and during frequent
severe Pocono Mountain thunderstorms.
How to open the stream in Microsoft's Windows Media Player:
With Windows Media
Player you have to "manually" enter the URL, without the .pls extension, for the stream to play.
- To manually enter the file, open Windows Media Player, select the menu option "File", then choose "Open URL".
- Highlight and copy one of the following 3 lines, the first line is for FM 24K , the second line is for FM stereo 48K,
- the third line is for the FM overnight 96K feed, the fourth
for the FM 96K feed directly from the FM console and the fifth for the
remote back feeds.
