Maybe the listener count is off of the main site, but they are displayed very nicely through the "Recent Playlist History" link of each stream. They do seem to work normally all around the other streams? Trance in the 300's, Gabber in the 50'ies and so on? Seems like the normal numbers to me?
It would, from my point of view, have been a good idea if you (DI) had polled the audience before the merger instead of making an executive decision. A drop in the ratings would imply that you made the wrong one. "Trends" is
not what people likes, but what some high-'n-mighty music critic thinks. That much is obivious through the ratings.
People come to DI for specific styles, not blended with eachother. That's how DI got so popular to begin with. We could tune in and listen to what nobody else played because there where no money in it for them. It where kept seperate. Here we could gather, from across the world, us few that liked the specific genres, listen to it, talk about it. Now we can't, and all because of some "trend" we have to honor? People have fled from this trend, but still you insist?

Thanks, I had a feeling it was Irish...
I'll see if Irish replies to this thread, or if I have to contact him myself...
