We're ready to begin our radio station now. As we kick it off, we will be limiting the number of listeners (only until we're sure we have a smooth broadcast).

It is undecided at this time if the show will broadcast 24 hours or at specific times, but it will be broadcast in real-time, simply meaning the show doesn't start at the beginning each time you tune in.

There are some sample songs that ARE currently playing. This does not follow the format of the show, but should give you a chance to test that it will work.

Want your music to be played?
The requirements are pretty simple and for the time being it is open to everyone. However it will likely be for upgrade members only at the point that it's really kickin'!

Here's what to do:

1. Upload a 30 to 60 second intro (no longer and no shorter) to your account. The intro should talk about you, your song, or band. Be interesting and fun!! But be respectful to young listeners. Please refrain from foul language or topics that belong on Howard Stern. Do not advertise other websites.

2. Reply to this post, and let us know which song should play, and what the intro is titled as in your playlist.

We will then put the two together, so that your intro airs just before your song.

If you have any questions, please post here.

Sounds cool!!!

How about a listener counter?
Maybe some program guide (list of song/artist)?
Who is included? Japan, gold, free ?

When will it be up and running? An estimated guess is fine.

Thanks for all the cool features here!!!

The shows will be broadcast live at a scheduled time, but replays will be available for on demand listeners. There will also be artist interviews, and just a few commercial interuptions. There will be a strong emphasis on the people/artists behind the music. Hopefully, that will peak some interest even when a particular song may not.

There will be some organization to it, but more than anything we want to create some fun and excitement. Wink

We're in the process of finishing up configuration of a server designed for live streaming.

There will be regularly brodcasted programs on our own station (no third party apps).

Listeners will be able to tune in 24 hours a day. There will be very few commercial interruptions and YOUR music will be played with live interviews and more.

Your comments are suggestions are greatly appreciated so that we can kick this off BIG!

Was that a reply on my radio problem? I didn´t understand you??

Broadcast naked? Well..hmm..yeah you can do if you want to announce something... (even though your personal opinion is not to participate in such things!) people have done to you, if you want to show up to some private persons that your patience with their behaviour is completely lost, gone and final! To make someone in public against their own will in a bad way demands something in return!

No normal person (except those who have a body to show up and can use it in real for money or just because they are beautiful) are acting naked.

Take care mobile!

That's the post that mobile was responding to, needless to say. But good that kinks and bugs are quickly reported while the feature is still new so the developer (Greg, I understand) can fix them pronto.

I would suggest a playlist so that people can tell their friends and fans when they can listen in. Also play by genre, especialy if you are doing intrerviews etc. Maybe an hour at a time for each genre.

Can we send in shout outs?

Until the first broadcast begins, there will be an error message if you try to connect. We'll let everyone know when the first program will play, so that you can tune in or catch a rerun.

Nice. Very nice. Exactly the kind of thing we artists need.

We're ready to get started, and should have a first broadcast running within the next 2-3 days. Now is the time to submit your music. Please refer to the first post, which has been updated for more information.
