Radio

Looking for software or service to allow people to call a phone number and listen to a radio station. This is for those who do not have Internet access. Thanks in advance

Why not get a radio? One with 5 buttons (Fast switching between 5-favorite radio rations) And they should be able to use that fairly easily, and they wouldn’t have to worry about holding a phone to their ear, because that would be really annoying, and they wouldn’t like it.

Whenevr I go on a long road trip with my family, I always take my radio with me to see what radio stations I can pick up. If I find one I like, I write it down, and add it to the list of stations I listen to on the internet.

What are some of your favorite radio stations? Please include call letters, station name, location and format.

I need a cheap way of doing it. I’ve got a whole lot of free time and no one’s hiring out here and I need something to occupy my time, running an online music radio station is a good way to do it right? How do I get the word out?

I’m guessing any success with advertising your radio station would put you on the radar of the music establishment’s legal goon squad, whose sole job is to catch and persecute permission/copyright/royalty violators. Currently there seem to be more ASCAP/BMI lawyers than music listeners.

You’re good if you stay below the radar, grow your listener base by playing good stuff, not by advertising. Take cease and desist letters seriously and fold up shop once the suits knock on your door. Be foolish about it and they’ll take the shirt off your back.

Have fun, support local bands, cultivate a global audience, cut and run to have fun another day.

Good luck.

I don’t know if it was exactly 88 degrees. They could say 87 or 89 but not 88 (or what the number actually was).
The 88 degrees was the name of a rivaling radio station. What was the true story behind all this?

I’ve been in radio 27 years and have never heard of this. Sounds like another urban myth.

I am trying learning French, and would like to listen to a online radio station that is similar to radio 2 in the UK. So a French national station if one exists ?
Any suggestions ?

French radio stations tend to be more musically specialised than in the UK. There is no true equivalent of Radio 1 / 2 / 3 / 4.

The frequences are different according to the town you’re in. You can find all the frequencies on this site : http://www.frequences-radios.com/frequences-radios-gratuites-ville-PARIS.html

I am volunteering at a local radio station and will be starting a hip hop program but I do not have a "clean" collection of music. I’ve done work at a radio station in the past where it had a CD library of all the new and old song. New CDs came weekly. Now with the digital age the radio stations probably don’t use many CDs so where can I get my hands on one of those collections or a distributor’s clean collection of hip hop?

You could try Ebay but CD shops don’t have them, and they won’t sell to the public.
Isn’t "clean hip-hop" a contradiction in terms?

like Nutsie or Spotify etc. Is there any free software around to do this. Thanks in advance.
I have tried the software options but cannot get them to work. Is it because I am using Windows 7 (64bit) version?
What is the best software download for the 64 bit option. Again thanks in advance.

You can record any audio you listen on your computer by using streaming audio recorder, its by now the most impressive audio/radio downloader I’ve seen. It can automatically detect and record any streaming audio playing through your PC. This is its official website:

A few years ago I listened to a radio station in the afternoon where the dj read a sad love story letter and they played this sad music as he read the story. Can’t remember what station it was. Can anyone help?

where are you located geographically???? some sort of info would help to answer the question….we here are not mind readers, you know, psychics!!!

Or if you build a station can you buy another station’s radio license?

No, you have to personally apply for a new license.

When you call a radio station to win a prize and they say be caller #7 what is the trick so you don’t get a busy signal? Finally how do phone lines for radio stations work? I know they have multiple lines, but who is actuality answering the phone? Please let me know thank you.

The trick is persistence. Keep trying. Two phones, a speed dialer these all help but there are no guarantees.. The majority of radio station contests are answered by the DJ or producer running the show. Caller ID is usually not used to prevent illegal bias, and the number they give, i.e 23rd caller, is supposed to be accurate, though I have seen DJ’s who’ll get lazy and skip a few numbers until they get close to the number they asked for. Our two stations that do a lot fo contests have 6 caller lines. Our stations that have less call ins, have 3 -5 lines. The DJ usually has the option of the number, but some are fixed by management. It’s a serious offense to do the contest falsely so they usually play it straight.
