hexus radio?

[Pete]

thought this could be quite cool
dont ask me who would do it
but just a quick idea for nothing

[ajbrun]

It wouldn't get done.

* It's not worth it
* No one would want to much
* Not many people would listen
* Personal/home made radio is never any good

No offence

EDIT: I've changed my mind, see below.

[Daymonkey]

Well it would be good because.

*Hexus users could have there own slots(for which they put themselves in for the week before)

*it can be done for basicly free on shoutcast all we would need would be someone to act as a server

*People would listen (well i would)

*And we could have the latest hardware news etc

*would be a good advertisement for Hexus.net

I thought this sort of thing was not legal, as you do not own the broadcast rights for the material

[Daymonkey]

No its legal, if its a talk show

[ajbrun]

After thinking about what I said, I now think that I'd listen at first, and if it was properly organised, and worked etc then I might carry on listening. The only problem is that I don't think you'd get enough people to organise it, but it'd be good if it works .

[DR]

If someone wants to run this and I mean run it not do it for 2 days and get bored, I can do my best to help.

[ajbrun]

Although I'm not prepared to help in any way (sorry!), I have a question:

This station can't possible be run 24 hours a day like normal radio, so is it like a few hours each day, and once you've missed it, that's it, or is it like "listen again" on the BBC?

[DR]

You could leave it re-streaming

[Pete]

can anyone be the host from there own home..?
becasue that would be cool
people could just say they wanted to have a go at being a dj for say an hour or two on a certain day then just talk through there mic in there comp
could we not put some sort of advert on there to pay for it....if we have to pay?
could we also have the recorded reviews next to there reviews on the hexus home page?
that would be cool, you could listen instead of having to read

[DR]

Yes but you limit the number of listeners - of course if it did pick up

[Daymonkey]

Have a look at http://www.shoutcast.com/ has a winamp plugin basicly the server forwards port 8000 la la la then they run the server program then the person with the plugin connects then it transmits

[Agent]

Perhaps do it once a week to start with and see how it go's ?
Id certainly like to do a show / piece for it

[unrealrocks]

Yeah, setup wise you can run the server program on somewhere with a high ammount of bandwidth (Hexus server?) then the broadcaster connects to that, so there only uploading one 128Kbps (or whatever) signal.

Don't forget music would need a broadcasting licence - I can't remember how much that is although I used to know.

[Daymonkey]

yeh broadcasting licenses are a huge amount (well i think so) maybe if you could collect permission from any local bands etc to use there music as fillers and things.
