Here at PVR we are just grappling with the problem of hosting as we'll be going to air later this year with our brand new station. I think the solution we will be using is that we will never broadcast anything from a server in the cloud. When we don't have a live presenter in studio we will be...

Hi Barbara, Thanks for getting in touch. Could you send me a link to a copy of your show via PM on here? Failing that send me a PM anyway and I'll drop you an e-mail. We would be potentially interested in taking your show, however there is one slight "but". And it's something that applies to a...

Hello all, I just wanted to update you on what is happening at PVR. The keys for our new studio space within Pleasley Vale Business Park near Mansfield have now been handed over to us and the room is empty and awaiting fit out. Right now we are looking for office furniture at sensible prices...

Hello all, First a big thankyou to evertyone who has already offered shows to PVR. Our schedule is filling up nicely and it's looking good for our launch sometime this spring. However, dealing with lots of show producers, I've noticed some glaring gaps in the genre of shows on offer. So I was...

It's not a revenue split in the way you think. Syndicated shows come to us with gaps for commercial breaks etc. We normally ask that shows are in 3 blocks of about 17 minutes each per hour, giving us 9 minutes per hour to fill. Some of that is taken up with news, but about 6 mins will be our own...

The Playout system is Rivendell from Paravel Systems. It's a very powerful suite of programs that can do everything a radio station could possibly need and it's rock solid too.

PVR, the new station starting this Spring, is currently looking for anyone globally who can spare us 10 or 15 minutes a few times a week to help with our in-house news bulletins. All you will need is a computer with a reasonably decent microphone, audio editing software (we recommend Audacity...

Hi Leon, I'd be interested in taking your Charts of the Past show for PVR when we begin broadcasting this spring. I'll drop you a PM on here now. Thanks, Andy.

I think you're exactly right there! the way I understand if from PRS and PPL is that when an artist, producer or writer etc joins these organisations for royalty collection services then they sign over the rights to these organisations to collect ALL royalties due. This means the original...

Hi Martyn, That sounds like an interesting project you've got there. It peaked my interest as I'm currently setting up a new online station with a classic and (hopefully) professional feel. John was one of the great broadcasters, whose style we would very much like to emulate in at least one of...

Yes, that's definitely no problem at all. We'll be happy to show people around and share knowledge with other stations and their staff. We are starting very small, but hope to start right. The plan is to sound professional to our listeners from day 1. It's also a bit of a pet project to show...

here at PVR we are just going through the whole licensing process at the moment. In the UK the organisations involved are PRS and PPL and any type of station needs a license from both. As Keybasher says, it's entirely dependent on what type of station you have. There are three main categories...

Thanks Ian. I actually live in Bolsover, but Pleasley Vale is the nearest I could find a decent studio space at a sensible price. It also sits nicely between Bolsover, Mansfield and Shirebrook and my hope is that we can attract some local businesses to advertise with us. I'm keen for it to be a...

This is just a quick update to let everyone know how we're getting on at PVR. First, a big thankyou to everyone who has been in touch offering both syndicated and live shows. We are now working with Dick, who posted above and a few others to bring their shows over to us. If you've got a show...

I feel sure this has probably been talked about before, but can't find anything now I'm looking for it... I'm working on getting a new community based online station up and running in the Mansfield / Bolsover area. Managed to rent a studio space, got most or the equipment and (thanks to the...

Hello, I'm pleased to be able to announce that our new station, PVR, will be launching in the first quarter of 2022. Broadcasting from the historic Mill 3 in the beautiful Pleasley Vale on the Nottinghamshire / Derbyshire border here in the UK. We are currently looking for a team of people to...
