SITE UPDATE As you can see, I've finally had the ability to edit the site turned back on, so i'm able to post updates! After being online for a year and ten months, TennesseeBillsOTR.com's downloads have been shut off by my host because the huge amount of bandwidth used was causing problems with the server farm. I am currently looking for a server to lease with unmetered bandwidth and a direct connections to the internet. There are about 5,000 new visitors daily and many tens of thousand of regular monthly site visitors that are missing their OTR fix because of this! I'm getting around 1,000 emails daily from people wanting to know where their OTR is. I'm sorry that i haven't been able to read or respond to most of the emails. There just isn't enough free time in the day. The cost to host this site are tremendous, and I must now ask for your financial help in earnest. I realize that many people in the US and around the planet aren't in the position to help, but it will only take a very small percentage of visitors to bring Tennessee Bill's Old Time Radio Library back online. Since bandwidth is the major problem with my current host, I will give password access to the downloads to supporters while I see if there is enough financial support to lease a new server. This should lower the bandwidth used. I'm betting that there will be. When a new server is leased, I'll be able to make the downloads freely available for all once again. I'll be sending usernames and passwords to all who have already contributed this month!
For those who wonder how much it could possible cost to host a website???... here's a minimum server and bandwidth configuration for the site to operate at least as fast as it has been. quad core cpu or better, 8 gigs ram, 1Tb RAID (mirrored or better) storage, Backup Power, 3 - 100Mbps direct internet connections (unmetered bandwidth), cpanel, at least one IP address, WHM, quality firewall, and more odds and ends. If you are able to make regular monthly financial contributions to keep TennesseeBillsOTR.com online, you can sign up below. Please don't commit to more than you can easily afford. On the other hand, if you can afford to help, please don't think that someone else will do it. I feel uncomfortable putting the larger amount options, but I was in business for many years and learned that "if you don't ask, you will never get!" There are likely to be some people who are in the position to support this site with larger amounts. I do know that even $25.00 a year is a hardship for many. You may cancel any time, please try to give me a little advance notice if possible. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! I will send you a username and password for download access within a day or two. You may make single contributions here. Someone suggested asking everyone to contribute $12.00 yearly. If each of you contributed $12.00 a year (there's over 100,000 visitors each month!), the site would be paid in full for years to come and I told the person who suggested it that I would send him on vacation where ever he wanted to go! I suggested that he DIDN'T start packing yet!
There is great interest in the CBS Radio Mystery Theater. If you would like all 23 Gigs or so, the entire series, I'll send them to you (in the US) on DVD for a single contribution of $30.00. I'm not charging you for the shows, you are making a contribution to help the site and I'm sending you the DVDs as a thank you! These are on DVD only.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater shows aren't technically Old TIme Radio, but I'll bet that more than a few of you have memories of sneaking under the covers when you should be sleeping in order to hear E.G. Marshalls, "Good Evening, Welcome" and a great story.

I would be amiss if I didn't mention Jim French's Imagination
Theater. These shows are top notch modern radio shows, still
very much under copyright. I believe that Harry Nile could stand
up against the best of the best of OTR and come out ahead! There
is also Kinkaid the Strange Seeker, Sherlock Holmes, a radio series
called 'Crisis' and more. These episodes are for sale at a
reasonable price.
