Live Stream History

Buzz Out Loud began experimenting with streaming the recording of the show live over Yahoo! Live starting with episode 661 - We'll help you, Rush!. For 667 - Take-Two gets a bear hug Jason was streaming the audio directly from the board. Molly had constant trouble in starting her stream, most likely due to her magnetic field.

After the preceding experimentation, the crew decided to test out a uStream.tv version. This was accompanied by IRC chat via WatchBOL.com.

WatchBOL.com Live Streams page

WatchBOL.com is the place to watch the BOL live streams, or the live streams of other CNET podcasts. It also provides a single chat which is open 24/7. See the WatchBOL page for more information and help.

For a short time there was a friday video version of BOL. This was shot in the cnet tv studios and later shown on cnet tv. Tom, Molly and Jason sat at a black triangular table against black curtains. This video version was quickly abandoned as the audio quality was never satisfactory and the hosts were more comfortable in the podcast studio.

Currently there is talk of introducing better quality cameras into the podcast studio and live streaming on cnet tv. This may happen at some point during 2009. The story continues...

Schedule

BOL begins between 10:30 and 10:45 AM Pacific (5:45PM UTC (GMT)), and is of indeterminate length. Also due to the nature of this show, it is usually a few minutes late. This is normal, as often they have technical difficulties, and should not be harassed for being a few minutes late. The show may also be rescheduled when necessary.
