Well here is some info on the station as I just realized I did not post anything about us.

Bandle City Radio is a station I have started and wish to grow into a great station! I am currently in college for Broadcast Radio, I am learning my craft and am looking for others that wish to work on their own craft as well and have some knowledge of how to do a live show, if not we have Training videos for our DJs. We have been a live station since August 2014, and things have been going well. I would like more voices on the station so that we can expand our live hours. Banlde City Radio is an Adult Contemporary music station that also breaks format to play League of Legends music as we are targeting League of Legends players as our audience.

What tools do we use?
For doing live shows we use Virtual DJ. More info is in our training videos. Now for scheduling everyone we use a DJ Management Software,

The things Highlighted in red is what you will see in your login. Booking a timeslot is as easy as a click of your mouse.

We have an android and apple app!

We are currently working on updating our logo on the apple app store as you can tell from the screenshot.

Any questions please reply here or email me at Lulu(at)yordle(dot)tv . I check this post regularly so expect to see my reply often .

It all seems great! I will fill the application now and well it seems like you have a great overview of the station and I hope to become an asset to it. I had a couple of questions a bit more out of subject. I play with serato itch on a numark Ns7, will that still be compatible for broadcasting? And finally, if you could give me a specific job description of the position in order for me to have the best understanding of it and can provide my best abilities.

Thank you once again.

Pardon me, I forgot to ask what specific genre of music are you seeking ?

We are an Adult Contemporary Station. I would love to give you a better description! When you fill out the form all details will be answered! I would do it now but I am off to work sorry... I googled the program you use and believe it will work if not I have a program for you to download that will work with your numark I am sure!

In my country at least (UK) Adult Contemporary is a radio format of mainstream pop music aimed at those aged 25-70. It may mean something different wherever you are based; I was a bit surprised by the choice as all the gamers I know are either into some sort of "heavy" guitar music or EDM (especially more underground/experimental genres) and it was like that when I was in high school (many years ago!, computer games had 8 bit graphics and other ones were played with dice on boards )

A tip; when recruiting DJ's especially from tech aware communities like gaming all you need to specify is whether the server is icecast or shoutcast; provided your DJ/presenter has equipment that will send a decent quality audio stream down the line it doesn't matter what it is (it could even be traditional analogue equipment connected to a sound card).

Many people combine the hobbies of gaming/PC construction with electronics and hi fi audio - and hardware is so cheap these days you can dedicate an otherwise obsolete PC just for the streaming which ensure the audio is as good as it can be.

One advantage of using analogue kit is that you can put a noise gate ./ compressor in the microphone circuit.(OK there may be software versions but then lag becomes an issue). Most desktops optimised for gaming or graphics intensive work have several noisy ventilator fans in them; without the noise gate it can sound like your presenter is broadcasting out of a industrial plant room...

Thanks for the info. You are correct about the format and what we play, the reason behind it is because A/C is the most popular style of radio station on North America. We do have an hour of EDM on Fridays from one of our DJ's. We are a loosely formatted station meaning people can change it up a little. We run an Icecast (192kbps) server, and pay royalties through SoCAN. Any questions please ask away!
