Hi all!
Thanks for reading this. I'm planning on launching an internet radio station over the next 6 months (ideally to launch at the new year). I have experience in the commercial radio industry in the UK and it is somthing I have always wanted to do.
I'm looking for some voluntary dj's / presenters who would be interested in having a show on the station. It will be a great opportunity for self promotion and a good social media presence would be ideal.
The station will be fully licensed to play music and I will be covering all the licensing costs. I know some internet station out there charge presenters a fee in order to help contribute to the cost of the license fee, but this is not the case.
At the moment I just want a show of hands from anyone who might possibly be interested in this project. The exact genre of the station is still undecided but it will certainly include Dance, R&B, Pop, Chart and House music at night.
All shows will be pre-recorded and sent to me at least 2 days before broadcast and I will set up some sort of delivery system for the audio files (probably something similar to dropbox). I do plan on using an advertising agency to help cover the costs of licensing which will mean adverts will play out at exactly the same time each hour every hour. I do not intend on filling the station with adverts though as this can decrease listenership. 2 advert breaks per hour is more tha enough. This does mean that as presenters you will be asked to send me your show in segments timed exactly to suit the adverts breaks.
At the moment this is just a rough idea of how things will run, eventually I would like to add some live shows to the schedule as well. If you are a DJ / Presenter wanting a show playing music from any of the genre's named above, please contact me via email bensiddall2008@gmail.com Just tell me a little bit about yourself including any previous experience (if any) and also your age and your intentions.
As a presenter you will not have to pay anything and you will recieve a personalised email address for fans to contact you through. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and as I said, this is still only a rough idea, I would just like to know if anybody is interested.
