Do Online Radios Have Potential.

[:Edzy]

What i wanna know is.. do online radios EVER get loads of listeners

hitzradio.com say they have 6million pfft


any you know?

or any tips to make non habbo radios popular?

hitzradio IS very popular.

The more popular ones have little speaking, lots of good quality music and are generally based around one genre. Anything on the top few pages of shoutcast.com are very popular.

I'm gonna be getting a spot on http://reachonair.com/ when it launches I hope.

untill it got shut down by the internet police, for issues with royalties etc, nonstopdvr was very popular, and it lived up to its name, in the entire time it was running there wasnt a second of downtime, they had music playing 24/7 as well as some great presenters.

the best part about it was that it had streams for both broadband and dialup users, so no matter what speed your internet connection is, you were always able to listen

Just make sure its quality- and make that known. Hire only the best, and play only the best. Have shows for different ages, etc.
People will only tune into a show if it has things to offer that they can't get by clicking windows media player themselves.

All you can do is try i guess, either way you can put it down to experience.

Every website has potential. Any website can get millions of listeners is just the way the site has to attract the listeners. Its like a bee and a bee's nest. If the bee has no honey (i think thats what is init, god knows) then the bee wont go there.. but if it did then it would. so what a site needs, is honey. :)

I was on CMP Radio before that shut down. Seriously, it's so professional.

CMP Radio?

CMP Radio?

www.cmpradio.co.uk It redirects to this new one now. But it was all 100% legal, fully licensed, had Smash Hits top 40 chart every Sunday (legal simulcast from Smash Hits Radio), News on the hour, GOOD imaging (jingles - but i hate that word), 23hr/day (one day for maintenance), good software and an excellent community of listeners/broadcasters.

I dont think its a very big market with the big players dominating it. But i sppose its the same with anything these days, its impossible for new companies to get popular

Just a note for a few of you guys who take radio a bit more serious.

This softwear is making quite a big impact now.Its basicly free for non comericial stations.I have used it on whitchurchfm a local comunity station broadcast about 6 weeks a year on a FM lisance.The softwear is called Mairlist it looks pretty basic but if you really spend a good few hours changing stuff ect u can get a nice pice of softwear.Better used using touch screen but still verry good.Its made by a german guy called torban and is a verry helpful guy as well because he gives you advice on how to make the most out of it.It was so good i now use for a small school station that broadcasts round the school.
