OC3D Radio

[PV5150]

Quite a while back we had our own radio station, well it was more like a bunch of amateur DJ's doing some sets of some cool tunes. If we were able to get this back up and running, would you guys support it? Maybe even take a spot at DJing if you're not bad at mixing? Penny for your thoughts?

You could certainly count me in as a listener, but I'm not much of a DJ. How would you set up the radio, shoutcast?

Shoutcast would be the best bet.

Not much of a DJ myself either. Might give it a go though, does it matter about genre?

 

[PV5150]

Yeah more than likely, that's how it was setup before. 2 votes in favour is good but we need more . Any genre is fine I'd imagine

2

I will certainly listen .

 

[TopSecret]

That would be really cool, especially if there is a good range of styles to listen to. It's got my vote

 

[Kerotan]

I vote yes

 

[PV5150]

Now this is looking better. More votes required though people

 

[themcman1]

I'd listen + would probably DJ for a little while.

 

[FragTek]

Yup, I'd be right back at it.... DJ 10 Gauge would light it up! I think I still got SAM Broadcaster in a backup somewhere. Do it peeeeevs!

We need to have it stream though OC3D's high powered servers however.

 

[FarFarAway]

Can't DJ, but can and would listen

 

[AntiHeroUK]

I'll have a go at DJing. Awesome idea

 

[TopSecret]

I have a mate who DJ's and produces his own work. I reckon he would love to contribute some stuff to the station.

Here's his myspace page:

If it's OK, I could ask him?

Isn't this illegal now without an extremely expensive license? I'm pretty sure thats why we originally stopped

 

[Dav0s]

would defnitely listen, would be good with some oc3d updates on it aswell, news on the hour type stuff

hot thread, new reviews, comps etc

Info here Jim, sounds like you would need a license and have to pay royalties too of nearly 6p a track- http://www.ppluk.com/en/Music-Users/Online-and-mobile-radio/Non-Interactive-Radio/

Hmm in the Netherlands you can have a non profit license for €300, infinite amount of tracks iirc. Don't know about the british though :X

Thats not tooooo bad. Be nice if they did something like that in UK. I just couldnt be dealing with the hassle otherwise

 

[monkey7]

Small webcaster license could be an idea. If I'm digging through the numbers well it costs about 175GBP a year and allows for 7 listeners, 8 hours a day 365 days a year. Requires a lot of administration though :/

 

[nepas]

does this mean the old skool dance could be back??

@monkey: only 7 listeners?that seems a bit low tbh

got to admit this could be AWESOME
