IMPORTANT INFORMATION! The clips on our video page do not "live-stream" to your computer. Unlike our audio files, you'll need to download the whole clip before playing it. But that's not a bad thing because you have the video clips perminently on your own computer to keep. RIGHT click your mouse on the link and select "save target as". Files may be very large, so you might need to go away and do something else when waiting for them to download. Maybe have a cup of tea, or a beer! But it's worth the wait! You need Windows Media Player to download the files. Click on the image above to go to Microsoft and get it free, should you not already have it. We will be releasing one clip every week. IMPORTANT! We can only have ONE video up at any given time, so each week we'll put a new one up, but the previous one will be taken down. So you have a week to download the video for that week. Enjoy!

Thats how professional this station was) and the moment is intense, with Tony asking the listeners to blow their horns, and make noise. And make noise they did. Nova closes down.
