station early that morning when I turned on my radio and realized that we were
knocked off the air,” said Deanna Mackey, Associate General Manager at
KPBS. “We had to act fast because being silent during an emergency was not
acceptable. We anticipated more traffic to our website stream since our
listeners couldn’t hear us on the radio for evacuation alerts and updates on the
fires. We normally handle our stream on our servers, but were concerned
about overflow traffic.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

out to industry colleagues at IMA for assistance in bolstering KPBS’ stream
capacity. StreamGuys immediately responded to provide additional streaming
support to KPBS during the emergency. The StreamGuys team, led by Sales
Engineer Andy C. Jones, configured a new stream for KPBS across multiple servers
capable of supporting upward of 5,000 listeners, using the existing KPBS stream
for source. StreamGuys e-mailed a new stream address to the station, which
was quickly placed on the website and accommodating KPBS listeners within
minutes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

provided support to us at a very generous rate,” said Mackey. “When
traffic overloaded our streamer capacity, the overflow went through the
re-direct that StreamGuys engineers customized for KPBS. The overflow
solution was kept in place for a few weeks after the fire, even as the urgency
of the situation lessened.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

during emergency situations like the <st1:place w:st="on">Southern <st1:State

COO of StreamGuys, Inc. “For KPBS, the importance of having a radio outlet
to inform listeners was amplified since its over-the-air English and
Spanish-language television stations were also knocked off the air, and it hit
close to home as most of our employees had family or friends that were
affected. We were pleased to work with Mark Fuerst, Executive Director of
the Integrated Media Association, and the KPBS team to increase their streaming
capacity while the station worked toward restoring its over-the-air
signal.” <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
