An Idea to LIVE Stream the Show

[cottonzway]

I thought of an idea that would help the streaming thing that was talked about for a long time. I think it is a pretty easy way to do it and it's FREE to all of us who have a computer. It might be able to be done by just listeners to the radio feed in that area and not just Tim, Matt, and Matt. as well.

How about using some kind of chatroom like Yahoo Messenger that allows audio and with a basic mic just set up in the studio or by a listener with a radio at their own computers? Have people go into that chatroom that is made just for the show and invite only so nobody comes in to mess it up. All any listner in the Southcoast area would need is their computer, a radio, and a mic. Those mics are like $10 if you don't have one. This would also work for just Podcast shows as well because if you tell people where to go and listen we can call in during those because it will be a live webcast too.

What do you guys think?

Hmmm, that sounds like something that could possibly work. Would have to have a few people that would be able to back each other up to man the radio broadcast. Need more than one person for that; just in case they could not make it for some reason.

Would be worth a try to see how many people would actually go to the chatroom week after week.

Hey Cotton, that's a good idea. We've talked about doing that, and it may be an option if the station doesn't come through with the live streaming that is supposedly going to be in place by the end of the year.

We also tried a similar setup with a program called PalTalk, it would have worked perfectly, but the engineer wouldn't approve access to the program on the station's internet connection.

We're trying a few other things...we think we can upload and encode the audio at this point, we just need the bandwith....

However, we're also working on something else that might provide a live feed like you've never SEEN before...but I can't say anymore just yet!
