saint Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The fifth survey of the internet radio audience conducted by RAJAR has revealed that one third of the UK’s adult population has listened to radio online. The survey, based on almost a thousand respondents, reveals that 17.4 million people claim to listen online, that’s up from 16.9 million in May this year. http://radiotoday.co.uk/news.php?extend.5453 Relaxing Entertainment For The World - - www.ScenicRadio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WavestreamingConnect Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 It's great that people are able to listen online these days - so much easier to find something you like, opposed to the general FM broadcasts! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBVoice Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I just talked to a friend of mine who works for a local CBS affiliate commercial FM station here in Baltimore. He likes to attend all these conventions about radio and whatnot. He just recently told me that there is talk about in the next 5 years to start transfering to streaming radio rather than traditional FM. What do you think that means for us hobby/low budget broadcasters? He went on to say, the FCC would most likely take control of US TOO!!!!! I say...no way will they control us internet broadcasters too! Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.

I say...no way will they control us internet broadcasters too! First of all I don't think the FCC can take control of the Internet. At least I hope not. If the big boys make the move to streaming will they have to start paying the same royalties we do? Right now they aren't affected by the new rulings, but if they make the move, it will either cost them millions more in payments or they will have to lobby to reduce the fees. Any thoughts on this?

JBVoice Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well, I've been looking into it and they cannot control the internet however they CAN control the stations that work with the new included internet radio receivers in future cars. I have a friend who drives a FORD SUV and it has internet radio built in. The only stations it actually gets are CBS stations and AOL!!!!!!! So, even though its internet radio...its still not the same :/ Therefore, they can't control what we say or do for the most part, but they can control our potential to rise! Oh well, theres always tuning in from smart phones ;) Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.

wsimkins Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have an idea. Why don't we start our own survey. I have survey software I can setup in a sub-domain. There is so much variety on BW that we could get everyone to promote it and come up with our own real statistics. I would probably need one of the board Moderators to help me a little on the admin side and keeping track of the survey results though. We could post the results on BW for everyone to see. Any feedback? Wes Simkins We took streaming to the next level! Help us support charities and get your streaming for pennies a year.

JBVoice Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 That sounds like a pretty good idea. How about sending a PM to James with more details? -JB Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.

GKIye Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Wes and Jon, Didn't had James an idea to start an own BW mediaplayer, free for download ? If so the idea of Wes could be managed as an overall BW stats survey I don't know if people are interested in stats from station A, B or C etc etc (if those stations are non-commercial or hobby stations) But those results could give a Monthly and Annual total overview of "all" stations ... What means that BW as platform could tell 3rd parties, etc etc that BW related stations reach an xxxxxx amount of listeners its just an idea aka my 2 (euro)cents :D Visit and listen @ BW !

wsimkins Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'll get some details together and PM James later this evening or tomorrow. I'm going to try and setup the software so he will have something to see. This needs to be a project with everyones input. You guys are great, thanks for the suggestions.

GKIye Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi Wes, I'm covering your back lol A basic idea could be : (Monthly, every 3 Months etc etc) - an average total of all stations ex : 759/1500 listeners - the most common countries who are tuned in ex : top 10 or more - a procentual rating of the used bitrates by listeners at stations ex : 64kbps = 35,9% - 96kbps = 14,8% - 128kbps = 37,5% etc etc (most interesting to see what bitrate is prefered by the average listener) Honestly ... I don't have a clue about "technics" and software itself to make this possible ... its only some brainstorming :D Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsimkins Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yes, we can do that as a survey of current broadcasters. The software I use will create graphs and statistics. We can also do a listener survey that the broadcasters can use on their websites. I have spent the past week going through the software again. It's been almost 2 years since I used it. lol I will try and put together a sample survey for you to view this weekend and post a link on Monday or Tuesday. I will also invite James to come have a look. Wes Simkins We took streaming to the next level! Help us support charities and get your streaming for pennies a year.
