Ocean Shores hires webmaster for $100/month to stabilize station website
The Ocean Shores radio advisory board agreed to engage a local webmaster to address recurring website and streaming problems and to standardize mobile presentation.

Board members described repeated problems where the site27s stream played without audio through the station website, while other platforms like Radio Garden and iTunes carried audio correctly. The board reported that PNW webmaster Randy Costello has been doing internal "engine" work on the station site and will charge $100 per month for ongoing maintenance; staff will continue to provide content and cosmetic updates.

Why it matters: The station27s website is a primary streaming and information channel for listeners. Unreliable website streaming reduces accessibility for audiences who use the site to listen or view program schedules.

Details
- Randy Costello (PNW) will handle engine-level maintenance, hosting and internal configuration and will be paid $100 per month; board members described several immediate fixes he has already implemented.
- Station staff will continue to manage content, banners, show schedules and ticketing; Randy will handle deeper technical and cross-platform issues (mobile layout, engine errors).
- The board noted a suggested additional component of a monthly interview slot as part of the arrangement; the cost structure reported to the board was $100/month plus a proposed interview appearance.

Next steps
- Randy will attend a staff meeting to align on priorities and specific fixes.
- The board noted Randy27s work is being paid via a designated account (identified during discussion as DMV/DML administration) and that the cost is modest compared with recurring web-support needs.

Context note: The website maintenance discussion followed technical outages and streaming problems; members said rapid remote support had already resolved several issues.
