RE: a helping hand in starting up..or working on an internet radio station?
If you haven't tried broadcasting I would say that there are a lot of internet radio stations out there. Some of them are really good. The rest, in my opinion, mediocre. The reason I'm telling you this is because some of these stations will actualy train you while others just give you time on there server and they really don't care what you do with it. Like I said I'm not sure if you're a broadcaster looking to start a new station or if you're just looking in to getting in to broadcasting. If you've never broadcasted before I can offer you some resources for training yourself. I help run a couple of stations. The most recent one is the VIP Lounge. http://www.theviploungeradio.com It's a music based community radio station out of the U.K. but we have broadcasters from different parts of the world. We also provide training and support for our presenters. I also help run Panoramic Radio. http://www.panoramicradio.com That station is more of a whatever goes type station. It's very hands-off and we pretty much just give you your time on the station and you can do with it what you please. Feel free to contact me off-list if you want some guidance and/or resources.

Hello Randy: To start up a radio station is not that difficult, most people use either Shoutcast or Icecast as the software generating the stream. You would choose whether to contract a streaming service or do it yourself in your own dedicated or PVS server. To be a DJ with pre-recorded talk programs is the easiest and most flexible way. To make them live is much more demanding, has to be done at exact times and the quality depends then not only of your server, but also of your internet connection and transmission to the server. Being an actual DJ, that is presenting music programs, has the difficulty of having to pay royalties, something that on Jan 1, 2016 became much more expensive, prohibitive for amateur enthusiasts. I have run an internet radio station for years that has become very successful with presenters from 24 countries and listeners from 108 countries, but is all in Spanish, it is called http://radiogeneral.com and soon, I will be starting another one totally in English and consisting entirely of pre-recorded talk shows or Old Time Radio programs, that will be called "Radio Broadcast Training Service of the US" whose domain will be www.rbts.us and if you are interested in doing a weekly pre-recorded talk show, get in touch with me. You would have to record it, edit the audio and upload it to the server using FTP. If anyone on the list is interested in doing a weekly pre-recorded talk show in Spanish for Radio General, please contact me also. It does not matter if your Spanish isn't perfect, is accented or grammatically flawed, as long as it is understandable and pleasing to the ear, it is fine.
