Question: If I were to start a live broadcast internet radio station, requests taken, would anyone listen?
Thanks :)
P.S. All kinds of music fron 20,000 maniacs to Suzanne Vega to country to classic rock and everything in between.
Hey IndieTX. From my limited experience, it might be a money drain. No reflexion on the music, guests, etc, but the competition is tough. BobJ on the FR has sunk quite a bit into his FReeper effort, which has gone no where. It really depends on the start up cost, and the ability to attract sponsors.

It's only 15 bucks per month that my buddy will pick up. It's only a hobby fun kinda thing. Not doing it for profit or donations...
A lot of people DO try to do it for money, and they invest a LOT of money into it in order to do so. This is just for listening pleasure of those who want to tune in and the fun of spinning tunes.
It's the type of deal that you can cancel anytime you want so there's no long term contract. The people that do it for money invest in very sophisticated software and pay high monthly fees for the bandwidth to have a hundred listeners or more. This deal is gonna handle between 10 and 30 live listeners at one time and no software purchase required.
If my buddy or myself get sick of it...LOL..there's a 7 day trial and you can cancel at any time :-)))) after that. [Momma didn't raise no fool...LMAO!]
Since I'm not paying, I figured it might be fun to try out ;)) Who knows, maybe if I use enough "key words" like "Christian, Second Amendment, Guns, Constitution, New World Order, Bill of Rights, Founding Fathers"...Echelon will grab hold of it and send the Gestapo to my door asking why I am a terrorist for mentioning such evil things..LMFAO!!!! There's not going to be much talking anyhow :) If we get it set up, I'll post it so people can listen while they RANT on freedom4um, unless of course they think our taste in music stinks.
