Music City On CMT Renewed For Season 2 (Everything About Reality TV Podcast NEWS)

             I just got the news yesterday that Music City on CMT is renewed for a Season 2 which means, more then likely I will be covering it as long as WE get CMT here in Canada as I am not quite sure if the show is carried up here and when it gets closer to the time, maybe they will contact me about covering it again which the answer is a big YES! I will not say no to Music City, I enjoyed covering the show and its a shorter format of Everything About Reality TV as the show is only 30 minutes compare to the hour shows but that's OK, I am happy with the results and the podcast did do very, very well back in the spring in the way of the numbers and I do not usually talk about the numbers and it doesn't really matter how many I get but it is good I do get good views. 


               This journey as a podcaster has been so incredible and to hear the renewal of Music City puts a smile on my face, knowing that Everything About Reality TV will be around for quite some time  and it isn't going anywhere anytime soon and it is here to stay. Another reason why I want to say yes to covering Music City is the story line that kind of been left off from the end of the season so most definitely I will be covering Music City to find out what is going to happen on the show next! I know it is a hook, I am now hooked on the show and I am glad I am, I really enjoy it and meant it when I said it is a breath of fresh air doing this show as it is different from what I've done. 


                 I am sure they will be in contact with me when the time comes to let me know the time it comes out as they did before but I am one step ahead as I already knew the show was renewed from their social media which told us it was renewed for a season 2 and my first reaction was LETS GOOOO! lol! I am very excited, the smile hasn't left my face since the announcement came and I was fist pumping like crazy as that made me really happy. So I will announce the release schedule for you guys to when it comes out and I will be making sure to make a post for you guys on the timetable. I am sure guessing it will be around the same time it came out as it did this year but never know, it could be an earlier release of the series!

Chatroom Idea Is Done & Website Updates...

                 There has been discussion between both myself and one of my Advisers for Chris B On The Web and it is clear, the chat is a no go. I had 2 individual's, which will remain nameless, but it is very much clear with the two both Billy and I couldn't continue to run a chat without help of Staff and Moderators within the website. I would of had Billy's help when he was free but other then that, It would be of just been him and I running things and I tried a chat for a few days and nobody really popped by, so I am making the decision that the chat is being pulled from the website. It is a tough decision to make but I think it's a decision that has to be made. If the chat isn't going to be active then why have it up and running? Right? It is the toughest decision I had to be made but I need pages to be generating views not getting 0 views. I am all about the views but I am all about listening to you guys the fans what YOU would like to see on the website. 


                    I think I want to focus on the CONTENT aspect of things and you guys can interact on the blog here which you have to login to comment as I keeping trolls off the blog post. Also Instagram and Twitter are another way to communicate with me or by emailing me via the contact page on here or the actual website when it does re-open soon enough. That probably is the most communication I can do with Social Media wise but my heart is set on focusing on the content on the website the blog. interviews and podcasts at the most. I am very much proud of what I have done to the newly built website and I ensure you it looks better then before. The Interviews and Podcasts pages have changed the way it looks now, it is more sleeker and I got rid of the black background but you will see when I open the site tomorrow for an open test during the day and you guys get to see what I did to change the website around. The website will be opening @ 10 am EST Thursday and will remain open up to 7 pm EST, when I will put it back into maintenance mode. The Re-Opening Date I am aiming for Monday, August 20th, 2018, 12 days earlier then expected!

Late Podcasts Are Getting Lesser and Lesser!

                I have to make this post to why the podcast and first of all I apologize profusely as I have been either busy with other Chris B On The Web projects or the family as I mentioned on Social Media I spent 2 days with my niece and nephew but tried to get it done but I kept on having bad timing and I will get into that shortly. I feel bad and down when I do not get the podcast out on schedule and I wanna be on schedule and I need to learn to put whatever I am doing and putting it to the side and I can do that as you know I'm working on the ailing ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and trying to fix whatever the problem is and I will talk about that on tomorrow's blog post what is changing, etc.  I really wanna improve the scheduling and honestly I have been on schedule majority of the season which is good and much better but still room for improvement but slowly but surely it has gotten better, even without the website operational. 


                I haven't given up and I think with the scheduling, I have to record in the morning time when I am fresh and raring to go. But I also want to start utilizing the calendar I have added in the recording session for this Wednesday morning so this way I have time to record and start editing the episode which doesn't take long to edit as I am now a pro at editing the podcast. The worry is I will forget to upload ahead of time to this way it processes to all the platforms so that is the only concern I have but if I upload it exactly at 7 pm EST, it gives it a 2 hour window to go up, so if I can keep to that timetable, then I will be good to go. I am not worried at all, don't you worry. I have my priorities what comes first from day to day. For example blog only days, that comes first before my website, for blog & podcast day blog first then the podcast if that makes sense to you guys. But I think I got more control over the content and I think at least 2 or 3 times I fessed up with not being on schedule, so not bad compare to back in the spring or last year. I am slowly but surely hopefully this will continue to stay on schedule...

I Had To Change Internet Browsers....

               Yesterday, I got inspired to write this from a fellow broadcaster friend of mine. We both had Chrome issues and honestly I have had my share of issues with Chrome Dome. For those who don't know, I use Tweetdeck on Chrome and ever since they changed things around since Flash is now slowly and everything is becoming HTML5, the Browser wouldn't even let me pop up the create new tweet and I had to keep on refreshing each and every time which really annoyed the heck out of me as I like to tweet, I like to interact with you guys when I get the time to tweet what I am up to with Chris B On The Web. Like honestly Chrome has changed so much in the last little while. Especially the fact LightIRC doesn't even work and as you know that's the chat system I use to have on the website at one point of time and I'm not sure even if I would have a chat system but I got an idea for one in the way of the contact page but that's another blog post for another day. 


                I did the right thing and switch browsers and  I am now proudly using Mozilla Firefox and right now, so far, so good, no problems whatsoever but it hasn't been a full 24 hours or 1 day since switching over to this browser I am now using Firefox and i like it and I like the way it looks and it runs very, very smoothly so I do highly recommend it if you're also have issue like I have been, it is probably the best move to another browser. Starting to wonder if Chrome is stable anymore. Honestly I don't wanna be refreshing constantly to be Tweeting out to you guys when I gotta say something to you guys. But finally, it is what it is and I gotta do what I gotta do and if I have to change browsers, so be it.

Getting More and More Eager To Re-Open ChrisBOnTheWeb.com

                  The more I work on the website, the more I am getting excited for it to be re-opening. I know it's been a struggle to stabilize the website and it's been up and down for the past 5 months but in the end I am going full force for the website to re-open regardless if I get it done by goal date of September 1st or not. But I probably can say I am almost half way there, there is one page I have to duplicate which is this season's archived page this way we have it ready for the transition stage from the 7th Season to the 8th Season which is coming up very quickly. There was a reason why I didn't cover Big Brother 20 and the reason was because of the website problems, I needed to tackle and fix all the problems on the website and I needed the extra time as you know both Amazing Race Canada and Big Brother US 20 takes up a ton of my time and I just felt like I needed a Big Brother break as coming off Big Brother Canada 6, I needed a break and came at the perfect time as I was planning on trying to repair the website.


                      As you know I was with a provider and had the entire website re-built and ready to go but then my site got suspended. So I set it up for 000webhost and left it for weeks on end blanked out, till they decided to suspend me, which note this makes my second suspension of my website within the 5 month period. Yes I was going to give up at a point as it was extremely frustrating for me to keep on re-building the website but 000webhost and I can to an understanding it was a huge mistake and they have un-suspended my account since then and the rest is history as I make further and further progress on things! The site is getting closer and closer to being finished but it takes time and I rather not rush the job as this is a big project working on a website that's now become a huge thing, I want to do the job right first then having to keep on fixing stuff on the website every time. However I am very much excited for the finish of the website, it has been as long coming for this website to finally be stable... It's been a pain in my butt!  LOL

Technology Problems Today....

           As you all know, I tried going back live for podcasts and did some hard stress testing on Twitch and it did well up to the point it was dropping frames like crazy and I didn't have the chat was so quiet and I had peeps in the chat didn't really say anything but one of my own moderators so, I closed down my channel and I have made the decision to remain an Audio ONLY Podcast from here on out and I made a vouch that I would never go back to video broadcasting and what did I do? Go back on my word I wouldn't broadcast again and I feel kind of stupid to be going back when I said I was completely done with broadcasting. Plus I am quite busy with podcasts, the website, going to events, blogging almost on a regular basis, so it would be hard to fit it into my very busy and hectic schedule.recently as projects, I mean new "Reality TV" Shows keep popping up and the list keeps on going and going. Was it a mistake trying to return to casting? Yes. Do I miss it? Yes. But do I got the time to do it? No. I am just busy as heck right now to even think of making a return to cast again but I think about the friends I made over the years and very thankful for it.


            So what does this mean for Everything About Reality TV? Well, I am planning on continuing on with the Audio ONLY and recording the podcast  I will keep up with it and plan on adding on more shows to the list when new shows come up. The collaborations will be pumping out soon enough when the site is back up and operational again....  I wanna go back to the schedule I had before I started all this mass chaos. I want to make the right decisions for Chris B On The Web, not the wrong decisions and I feel like I've made the wrong decisions recently and it sure as heck don't look good on me to make dumb and naive decisions. i feel stupid enough to make this big mistake and hopefully I learn from this and move forward with the plans as CBOTW isn't out of the hot water it has been in for months with the no website situation for the past 5 months, soon to turn 6 months as of September of next month.

So Sick of This Heat....

              Honestly I hate this heat... It has been HOT and when I said hot, I mean hot, I am talking about in the early 30's and we do not have air conditioning here in the house so it is quite hot, well minus the studio which is in the basement and is quite cool in here everyday in the summer but in the winter its colder and the heater has to go on. But anyways back to this heatwave here in Ontario. It's hard to sleep at night the last couple of nights, to a point I am up till 1 or 2 am EST in the morning and up around 1 pm which sucks. Not because of my back problem its more the heat that doesn't help me with my sleep situation and I was sleeping well before and even during the website work that had already start. Maybe the fact it was too hot in the house it doesn't help but should be cooler the fact I have my fan on full blast.


                 I mean it is frustrating to deal with sleeping in this heat but not only that but it is hard to deal with it during the daytime and trying to stay cool here in the house...  I mean the days that I go out to hang with my friends and have a social life, then I go to the mall and it is more definitely much more better there then here as the Mall has A/C and it truly does keep me cool while I am there but some days, too cool as they blast the AC full blast but hot days like these it is well worth it! I am totally trying to deal with this stinkin' heat and it is tough but I am trying to keep a positive mind of frame throughout this heat and dressing in cooler clothes and not wear dark colors right now as it is not a great idea to wear dark colors. But I am truly hanging in there and I cannot wait for fall to come as that is one of my favorite seasons of the year on top of spring!
