I want to start a professional internet radio station. Not a radio show, but a radio station. I also want to do a VISUAL stream of some of the radio shows on the radio station. My question is what program/website service/device should I use to make the actual internet radio STATION on the audio side of the radio station and the visual side of the radio station?
Shoutcast ( http://www.shoutcast.com/download) looks to be the easiest way to start an Internet radio station, the software is free and there are different host options. People can search and find you from the Shoutcast.com homepage or from Winamp.
The TV side looks like it is beta, see below.
I want to make an internet radio station, where someone can click a link and have a live feed of my radio station (when on). This station must allow me to play music AND have a bit of a talk show side to it, allowing me to have multiple speakers. Whats the best way to do this?
Please no listen2myradio crap, I need something good. Something that is LIVE aswell.
Don’t forget the music royalty fees are very high. Live365.com is a good choice
what radio station will the Flyers game vs. Chicago be on tonight? i really wanna listen to the game while at work but have no tv or internet there.
Assuming that you’re in the Philadelphia area: Station 610 AM
Time: 8:00 pm
Recently he(Christofer Drew) twittered about some radio station talking shit. Do you know which station it was, and where I could listen to what they said?
I would love to know also, but I don’t think we are going to find out unless Chris tells us.
What should I ask a radio station about doing a commercial for a store?
I have a meeting in the morning with a radio commercial manager what kind of questions should I ask him?
I have written a jingle and I am looking to maybe have some kind of advertising campain for the store i manage but i really havent done anything like this before,help me!
Ask about package discounts for bulk play and time slots.
They should know how to help you come up with an effective ad.
You might save a bit of $$ if you have your own "singers" to create the ad. Do have it blocked out befor you book studio time to record it. Also remember you want to have time limits. 15 seconds and 30 seconds and even 10 seconds are common.
You want to be able to have a longer and a shorter one so you can just hit the highlights with the short one and listeners will remember the details from the longer version.
You may need to buy more time at first to get noticed.
Take your time and don’t be pressured into anything you don’t have time to think about. Know what you want and they will try to give you all they can coz they need to keep you happy to keep your business.
In the seventies (and long before) we knew a radio station’s wavelength, e.g. BBC Radio 1 was broadcast on 275 and 285 metres medium wave. At some point all radio stations forgot about wavelength and advertised their frequency, e.g. 1053 and 1089 MHz. I’m perfectly aware of the mathematical relationship between frequency and wavelength, but why was the change made?
Stephen W I searched on line and could not find your answer. Will keep saearching and get back to you.

I love watching the Quad Cities Riiver Bandits play. But, when they’re not on TV, I don’t know what radio station broadcasts them. Can anyone tell me, so I can listen to the games, when they’re not on TV?
Home broadcasts of River Bandits games are not on the radio for the 2010 season. However you can listen to some Midwest League teams’ away team’s broadcasts when they are playing Quad Cities. They include South Bend, West Michigan, Fort Wayne, Burlington, Kane County and Dayton. Go to MiLB.com to see when those clubs play Quad Cities and what their local radio stations are.

I called into a radio station for the first time yesterday and made the mistake of keeping the radio on. There was a delay but i couldn’t hear the host on my cell phone either. I was told there was a delay because they filter what callers say but i don’t know what else to do or how the process works? I couldn’t tell when the call ended either.
I think you answered your own question. I’m surprised they didn’t hang up on you… many stations will do that. You HAVE to turn your radio OFF, or turn the volume all the way down. ALL the way! There would have been no problem had you done that before you made the call.
If you know the radio station, whats the song where there’s the guy walking with the sunglasses in the dark and he is singing something like "Well you might as well just go" or something like that. Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much.

I am curious as I used to work at a radio station back in the 90’s where the old equipment was used. Basically the mixer with the cd players, cartridge players, telephone line, microphone line, satellite news all connected to it. So what is different about that setup now in radio stations? So yeah wondering what role the computer plays for the dj??
CD players are still around, but turntables are mostly gone. Cartridge players are pure history, Network stuff is mostly delivered by Satellite and telephones are now used on air for basic call ins, but we use modem style codecs and ISDN lines for remotes. At the 6 stations where I am Chief Engineer we have three computers in each control room for basic music and commercial playback, recording and editing for playback telephone callers, internet access, special effects, and most of the DJ’s bring in their laptops which we interface with the consoles and networks. I have about 10 Satellite receivers for various things, 4 ISDN systems, 5 POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) codecs for digital audio, T1, Microwave and VHF RPU equipment. there is a turntable out in storage I can bring in if we really need it, cassettes are rarely used, digital audio tape is pretty old hat, I have no reel to reel machines in service, and even minidisk is becoming obsolete. We burn CD’s with audio to keep, and send and receive audio over the internet.
Not the same as when I started 45 years ago!
