James Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hey guys.. well im heading into a radio station.. Nova 100 (http://www.nova100.com.au) this year to help them out. Its a show called nova nites. They use skype and phone and an online chat room. They get over 30 users every day and the show is just the busiest! Its too popular! So.. does anyone find this way effective for your station? Its unusual having a commerial station using skype and a chat room! -James Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioCIA Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 We use email for our request line, with a dedicated Gmail account that all our DJs have access to. We also have a online chat room, and most of our DJs advertise their Yahoo IM as well. Every little bit helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exozito Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 http://emailmeform.com is quite useful, you create a form which could be embedded on your website for your listeners to request songs from. The requests would then be sent to your email inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby Tuesday Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 We use an automated request system. Interactivity-wise, we use MSN, Skype, web-based instant messenger (from the homepage), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzacore Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I use both sms and e-mail ...I have a 5 digit number for sms they just type mix then there message ..and request form on the site 2 I looked into getting a short code, and this is what I found: To do any SMS messaging in the US, you must send from a short code leased from the Common Short Code Administration (CSCA). The CSCA charges $500 per month to lease a Random short code and $1,000 per month to lease a Vanity code (5 or 6 digit short code that you specifically select). These fees do not establish connectivity, but only give you ownership of a unique, or “dedicated” short code number. Just a tad bit ridiculous for an internet show to spend.. and way too much to ask the network to spend for all the shows. Is there any alternative that anyone knows to this kind of ridiculous fee for this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzacore Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 also, I know radio stations around here in NY use something they call "instant feedback" where they have a form setup on the website, you submit it, and they get all the forms on their end in a nice little program that lists all the information on the form. I was wondering if anyone knows what they use for it. I have an IM widget setup on the show website, which works, but I was just curious as to what the big boys use for their "instant feedback" systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I am thinking of using these for my next project, but I don't know. Would anyone say it'd be easy to setup the SMS things to go straight to PC? I know email's easy, but texting in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
