Re: Student Radio Station - Internet radio?

Hi Everyone
We have a broadband Internet radio studio and station on the Sanford School=
campus. You can check it out at http://www.sanfordradio.org/ . Since it is=
late on Friday, I will ask our faculty who run it to add to the thread nex=
t week.

Our webmaster and an wonderful alumnus helped start up the project and get =
the station off the ground. They are really the brains behind the operation=
and I have just helped out with technical issues involving firewall, etc. =
Our station runs 24/7, is automated to take requests, but the students can =
do live remote sports events, and other live shows too. Several of last yea=
r's graduates got incredible training as engineers, as well as broadcasters=
.

I have copied the two station founders and perhaps they will jump in with d=
etails. More to come on this topic!

Subject: Student Radio Station - Internet radio?


Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone out there has a student-run radio station at their
school and how it operates...?

We currently have a radio station/club that broadcasts on a very low power
FM transmitter. It can be heard quite well on campus but nowhere else.
Student interest in broadcasting is high, however no one listens... No one
has a FM radio anymore.

I have been wanting to broadcast on the internet for quite some time as jus=
t
about all of our students have some type of portable internet device whethe=
r
it be an i-pod/phone, laptop, blackberry, etc. Is anyone already doing this=
?
I'd love to hear your experiences. I'm wondering especially about bandwidth
and copyright issues.

Thank you in advance,

J. Gaston
