Ashworth Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I just wanted to say that you folks that have been doing this a while are inspiring. I've been at it a month and I'm just plain tired. I had no idea how much work was required to bootstrap an online radio station from zero. Thanks for posting to the forums. Your contributions have been a huge help.

johny c Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Welcome to Bw. Yes running is a station takes time and a bit of work to make it stand out from the rest.

Gadfly Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hello and welcome. I thought it was just me that sometimes got fed up with running an internet radio station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmarrie Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 LOL, good to hear other people are worn out thought it was just me. I feel better now, misery loves company, but for me the agony is beautiful I love doing what I'm doing. Welcome Ashworth I've already seen you around the neighborhood. What is your station? http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/1069/vrnlogopng.png www.verbradio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashworth Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 i'm hesitant to post a link because i'm still building the back-end server and most of the website is in a state of flux but here it is, in all its partially-built glory http://www.backroomradio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ ABnormal Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 @Ashworth welcome to BW. I agree with the others. It has to start with the love and drive other wise it can get frustrating really quick. I always tell myself run the Marathon and not the sprint. Pace yourself or you can burnout fast.

Ashworth Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 because of royalties, i have to use whats available. im pretty irritated by the non-sense of royalties. i'm ok with artists getting paid. i'm not ok with the royalties tax that increases your pay-out based on your operating costs. thats just politics. most broadcasters are going to low-ball that number to avoid higher costs. the royalties boards go to the fed and say "look how little they spend on operating costs... its not fair!" i dislike the industry on-the-whole. i have a lot of fun broadcasting, and i have fresh ideas for making money with it (not ads, believe it or not). i just hate how politics have come into play. so much so, that the good-time broadcaster can't just have fun because some millionaires are convinced that last-weeks' $5 station donation should go to them. i'll get off my soap box now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleysradio Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Glad to see you. Yes, it is a grind. But with passion you will get through it. To build something from the ground up and see it flourish, there is nothing like it. I hope you do well with your station! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutish Sailor Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I like your speak pipe. Dont let the royalty thing kill ya. Im on the same boat about feelings of it. Keep in mind if your angry enough, theirs allways creative commons. Debated starting a CC radio station a couple of times. Like a scared kid on the diving board, started bouncing, just couldnt hop. Theirs a bunch of JLA's out their, and they offer decent perks. But welcome to the grind. KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
