      Have looked for a thread like this,but haven’t been able to find one :hopeless:

      I have been watching the numbers of listeners to the live radio sets at night..

      (sure others do the same):groucho:

      But…

      How can we improve the number of listeners ?

      Does anybody have some good ideas ??

      :weee:

        I think the problem is only because we are a board for ravers – they are out at weekends!

        Its almost the same problem that affects “normal” FM radio pirates and even legal stations but perhaps a bit worse as to listen to Internet radio you need to be near a computer with broadband, and not all our friends have such easy access to this equipment.

        Nor can you listen to an internet station in a car (at least not yet…)

        It may be the case a lot of shows are recorded and listened to later by people; one idea I think would be good might be to have more shows earlier in the afternoon (from 16:00-21:00) when people are getting ready to go out partying and are more likely to be still at home…

          Sounds like a really good idea :weee:

          Have also thought about that if the bulletins I send on MySpace ..

          (the bulletins are only seen by people on my friend list)

          If a few people on my friends list , would forward the bulletins to their friends..the word would be spread more..
          (Don’t know if it’s possible or allowed)

          But I only have 122 friends,and not all of them like the music,so my bulletins don’t reach many..

            Lot of people don’t like MySpace :weee:

            But for us who does,we might as well use it for something positive,and I think this is..

            Just my opinion :groucho:

              well Murdoch is using all the myspace users to gather marketing info, so why not use the system to advertise your projects (which is what a lot of people do anyway!)

                one idea I’ve been thinking of (for those of you in EU countries) is that these days you can legally buy from the electronics shops a small low power FM radio transmitter (for listening to Ipods etc on car stereos) – our countries communications ministries have finally approved such equipment.

                if you connect this to the output of your PC soundcard, then you can listen to the internet radio on normal FM radio receivers such as your Hi-Fi and “ghetto blasters” – so you could listen in the garden or in the kitchen or anywhere else which is further away from your computer :groucho:

                          i always try and listen to radio shows when i can, but findin the right time can be difficult.

                          like GL said, on weekends especially rave-heads tend to be out ‘avin it. on weeknights more people are always online, i work evenins or play footy and cricket for a team though so i only catch some shows.

                          i have to agree about the sorta “build up” to goin out. that’d be quality.
