chess.fm closing its doors

[Rincewind]

Don't know how many people watch this site but as of about a week's time it will be no more. If you are a member of the ICC and give a whit, email the admins and tell them they're making a mistake. Perhaps they could trial a pay-for-content business model.

It costs quite a bit to run a internet radio station.

I used to listen a while back, I would still listen now, if I had the time.

Looks like Tony is working on a new ICC super site. In the meantime chess.fm will be operating on an "abbreviated schedule".

Mainly I think the flash lectures will be finishing and perhaps less live coverage.

Anyway, looks like things going to continue for now, so that's a good thing. Although the flash lectures were one of my favourite features of the site.
