Advertising Co Op


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

OK, basic site framework has been set up.

 

Starting a discussion in the forum there to figure out details and formation of the Co Op.

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.

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.

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. 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?
