However the Spotify idea would help get a idea of the music the station would play?

If we could have some help with funding, I'm happy to proceed, if a group of us are intrested that is, I don't want to have to solo it. Set us up as a group, point me in the direction of any Talossan music we already have, we may want some governmental oversight via MinProp, as well as direct ties to governmental agendas and events.

What is your back of the envelope funding idea?  The original idea of the King was to provide a place for playing of musical hits associated with the kingdom. that could be accomplished with a Spotify or Pandora list. If it's something that's evolving into news and information or other custom content, a more detailed plan would need to be built.  An interim step there might be to associate with an existing public station that has web broadcasting, make requests there for songs, and also place public service announcements that would be read occasionally.  This could prototype any kind of station that the kingdom would eventually enable.

I feel the genral idea was somthing along the lines of a 24 hour music station, with potential for on air and pre recored content.

Somthing like: Folk Friday radio

The Internet radio website appears to be more of a signposting to indervidual streams sites, but it does look like sites are run by companies like https://www.radioking.com/?utm_campaign which lowest is 19 dollars a month which could suit our needs

Thoughts in option 2 and kinda option 1,

I does depend on definitions and legalisams, is it wear the music is being streamed from or what country is hosting the domain that needs the licence, however its my understanding it would be where the music is being played rom that would be the place where licence would apply.

 Key Considerations for Royalty-Free Music:
Definition: This is music where the artists are not registered with major PROs (Performing Rights Organisations) like PPL PRS, allowing you to bypass typical licensing fees.
Usage Rights: While you don't need a public performance licence, you often need a subscription to a specific service (e.g., Background Sounds) that provides the music.
Commercial Use: Ensure the license specifically allows for commercial, public, or online use.
Risk of Mislabeling: Some music platforms may incorrectly label music as "royalty-free," which could cause issues

Not to complain, but some euro-cizts may not be able to access the imager files "content not viewable in your region "

Honestly, if we can avoid any unreasonable out of pocket expences, sure, I'd even be willing to offer up my machine, Synology DS918,+ to host. My expertise is limited in certain areas, mostly domain hosting and website design ext, but in terms of the hardware and software stuff, I think I'm up to the challenge.

I mean it could be less, I only said a doller as a nomanal number

We have been made aware that the RSftAoN doesn't actually have a official email or poi t of contact, would that be possible via this department?

Im happy to try and get in contact with the principality of Sealand

Do we have any... data on even just engagement numbers per captia of citizens on Wittenberg? Just curious

Just as an example

Quote from: Mximo Malt on February 12, 2026, 12:29:30 PMI was thinking of having a block of faith-related programming, would this violate the First Covenant in any way? I think it would since we're establishing this as part of the Government.

If this were a Government project, then the Government would run it.  This would be a private project, and accordingly you could do faith-based programming at your whim (and based on the desires of any collaborators).

However, I'd be happy to contribute in a private fashion just like His Majesty to some kind of joint thing; not religious, of course, but maybe a short weekly show about what the government has been doing or issues of concern.  I mean, a lot of interesting stuff happens... today I informed someone who applied under the name "Adolf Hitler" with the alias "Osama bin Laden" that their application was incomplete, for example.  (Somehow I doubt that the gentleman's application is going to work out.)

I don't think you need any kind of license to do broadcast "radio" over the Internet.

I meant a licence comparable to that of the BBC

Ooooh you mean like a "radio license" for listeners, which contributes offsettign the cost of running? A noval idea the BBC is even considering bringing back radio licences like the TV Lincences. In the BBc case I think thats a terrible idea as they will probably end up finally driving the public away for good from the service.

In our case however having it more like a subscription service of a nominal fee would be helpful. Like say 100 % citzan listership would net us $250 at a dollar a head a month, which is both more than we need and... well practaicly impossible. Bbc has a listernship of about 53% across all radio services, so say off that number thats about $132. Music licences would tend to be charged per year and I guesstimates around that sort of price point so we would only maybe need a dollar form 132 people say to operate?

Im just late night spitballing here

The lump sum option is probably for the best but considering how multi national we are im sure we could find a way to host it at the cheapest way possible, shop around maybe?

It does depend on country of hosting, but tbf, im sure plenty of Pirate radios exist still online, and honestly I doubt it would be easy enough to find out the licencing status of each song... or even if it had been perchance and Owend by the broadcaster

Run it as a music station primarily, and basically just announce that we when we will be either having a on air chat, news ect.

I can speak to this,
It does somewhat depend on where its hosted as to music licence, and there is an accossoated cost to that (roughly £150 here in the uk) and then some use of a server or run off a NAS (network attached server), and purchase of the software. Run it as a non profit and share ownership of music we can compile together, maybe £300 ish? Potentially with some onhowing costs for £150 ish ot less a year after that.

I do have a nas and have considered setting one up myself

Azul, so sorry for the slow reply.
Membership nearly requires a from of presentation of your work, be it a lecture (as previously offered) or a piece of written work on a topic of your choice. If its about talossa or something related to the Kingdo, even better.
I myself have yet to finish my own written work for presentation, but Im working on it, I hope to have it done by the end of the month.
I hope to eventually compile a few of pieces into a form of academic journal at some point.

I think we might have enough people for a Talossan Trekkies group. That is an excellent episode. TNG is my favorite and The Best of Both Worlds (Pts. 1 & 2) is my favorite episode.

Oh there are games we could totally play with a group like that!
Theres a bridge crew game on steam, and I also have another bridge crew style engine to play some more roleplay kind of things.
Also star trek adventures for the more TTRPG inclined, like dnd but... well actually star trek
