SpazzRadio Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hey people, I was thinking at work today and wanted to bounce an idea off you all. We all know how hard (aka impossible) it is for small internet radio stations to sell advertising. My idea is to start a Co Op. The Co Op could pool our listener numbers together and sell advertising that could run on all member stations to deliver the kind of listener numbers that advertisers look for. There would be a lot to figure out, such as; how to split up the advertising revenue, making sure member stations play the ads, compiling listener numbers etc. Basically wanted to know if anyone thought it could work and be worth the effort.

saint Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 That is actually a fantastic idea. You need to make sure you cover all the bases for "affiliates" that participate. Relaxing Entertainment For The World - - www.ScenicRadio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKIye Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Great idea ... but I wonder how do you collect at once the listeners data with an automatic datasystem ? Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzRadio Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Still working on the details and technicalities. I will be setting up a simple website with forum for discussion of the details and inner workings. I am not wanting to run this alone, I would like to put together a team/committee (like any true CoOp) and keep the whole process very transparent.

LeafpileRadio Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Sounds good. But here's where I hit a snag... When your dealing with advertisers in a co-op brand. You have to have the rights to the names and brands. Dealing with money in this situation will require corporate taxing. Alot of risk involved.

SpazzRadio Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Thanks for that offer James. The hosting is not an issue, but I may take you up some other help ;) SpazzRadio.com Home of Absolute Rockz, Absolute Spazz, Always HOT Country, and Absolute Hitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Spazz, Depending on where you are located, and if this concept really takes off - you may want to set up a Corporation, LLC, LTD. - etc as a shield against un-savory people who may want to take advantage of things. In today's business world - you never can be too cautious - especially when litigation may be involved.

SpazzRadio Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Cannon, I am a small guy (average 15 listeners per hour) I would not screw the small guy! The Idea of a Co Op is that all members get a vote in decisions.

LeafpileRadio Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have to add the contrary to that. Shannon does only things for his own personal gain. Take this for instance.... http://jmanproductions.com/leafpile/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71:letter-spazz&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=56 Now we all know you work for Spazz.

cptsparkle Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hmmmmmm, very interesting. I didn't know a thing about your two guys issues. I can say this. I was with him a short while and he treated me fine. It's issues such as this and the amount of drama connected with all this that made me get out and turn my attention to more important things...like homebrewing.

So try again. Josh ... It's time to grow up. I stand by everything I have said. If you have ANY proof that what you say is true, then I will publicly apologize. Just to be clear .... 1. you do not own the terrestrial broadcast radio station KLPR (Is in fact a college station in Nebraska) 2. your station is NOT on Sirius/XM Satellite radio (I have been a subscriber for 6 years) Again .... show me the proof or shut up BTW ... I love the comment section of your post that was added by hand. why not allow real comments?
