Comments on: What, exactly, do we mean by 'Radio'? http://www.newradiostrategies.com/2008/04/06/what-exactly-do-we-mean-by-radio/ A Think Tank for Radio in the Digital Age Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:11:07 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Brian Sharples http://www.newradiostrategies.com/2008/04/06/what-exactly-do-we-mean-by-radio/comment-page-1/#comment-6 Brian Sharples Wed, 07 May 2008 03:25:23 +0000 http://newradiostrategies.com/?p=58#comment-6 This post got me thinking. As a hobby I run a bass oriented streaming radio station on www.live365.com called Bass World Radio. I make no money from the station. I do it because I enjoy sharing the music with others. Plus I've been turned on to some great music I otherwise would never have heard. Being a stream, there is the problem of the one-way communication you mentioned above. I've recently tried to remedy that by creating a website and a blog. I have an account at last-FM and I'm looking at ReverbNation, but I hesitate to set up an "artist" account since I'm not the artist and can't put their tracks on my page. You're right, radio stations need feedback. The hard part is getting it. This post got me thinking.
