What kind of radio show do you run?
« Thread Started on May 12, 2008, 8:06pm »
For the broadcasters only..
So what kind of show do you run?

Here we run a completely random show and do something different everytime. We don't plan anything or have scripts though sometimes I wish we did on occasion.
Mostly rock/metal/electronic music and sometimes sca and other odds and ends.
I run the station and built the darn thing from scratch lol so I fire up the equipment and run the quiet side of the show sometimes. Also we use a soundboard for sound effects like weird laughs and belch sounds and stupid noises to make it more weird. Actually weird isn't the word for the show.
Sometime soon we will do a show and record it in mp3 and let you all hear it but currently our transmitters are kind of down.

So now your turn...

I run a land (Towerblock) based Fm / internet pirate radio station which have been broadcasting for approx 4 years, with around 60 dj's, spinning House music 24/7 from a secret location in London, covering the whole London area & surrounding counties, we are available on 103.0mhz (FM) for London listeners 0r www.icecoldfm.co.uk for the rest of the globe, It's F**king hard work keeping a smooth running from day 2 day, but I love it!! :)

Now that I got the station running we are "Indie 106.8" As of now we got 6 DJs and we broadcast out of a van. Pushing 40 watts of power we are heard pretty far, (unfortunately stability suffers a bit because the antenna is modified and mounted horizontally on the roof of the van. It is lifted and xmitter is grounded at every stop). We pretty much advertise and play local bands here in Phoenix, AZ. We have one segment called "Phoning it in" where we receive a live feed from a mixing board at a local show and broadcast it. Other things include "The odd political hour". "The FC Who and your rights" and "Not of this world" We also include commercials to make the station sound more legit (kinda) we include commercials to local shows and commercials we find that are from 1940 (makes it more interesting)

Our station pretty much appeals to the "hipster" crowd or so we are told, but its been a pretty fun experience, we don't keep a schedule organized or anything and we broadcast at least 6 hours a day everyday while on the move. (3 hours per stop) Also, some things are automated because we create a "schedule" on a laptop specifically for this.

I run a weekly radio show which is themed around Paganism/Wicca and earth-based spirituality, which I broadcast on Monday evenings.

I run my station 24/7 on a semi-automated basis with a playlist of music and Podcasts which are pre-approved for rebroadcast. On Tuesdays I feature jazz, Wednesdays it's blues. On Thursdays I broadcast progressive politics and Friday is "fun day" - featuring the Arts of various kinds. Weekends I just run my default playlist of indie rock, rockabily, blues and doowop.
