Talossan Radio

[King Txec]

Azul,

How hard would it be for us to establish some kind of 24 hour Talossan radio station playing the hits of the kingdom? I have no knowledge of this but it was something I saw another micronation doing and I thought I'd bring it up.

Maybe something can be done via Radio Garden?  I noticed that Marquette University plus 9 other stations broadcast out of a point in the GTA https://radio.garden/listen/marquette-university-radio/G85W0BfY#google_vignette

All Milwaukee stations https://radio.garden/visit/milwaukee-wi/Yhz2zhtu/channels

Majestas, I was actually discussing this with the Baron Seneschal! I think this would be the first government-funded one though. I might have to wait until the next election if re-elected to get it going. :P

Neat! I was thinking about this the other day and remembering the days when I was a virtual DJ. I hope something like this gets going!

I think the only downside is it'll (mostly) be a Glheþ-only station :p

I am curious about the name because I plan to revive my channel (Talossa24) and rename it to Radio-Television Talossa.

Azul,

What's the price ?
How much it's for a one year radio 24h?

Historically, for audio stuff there's been:

• RT Radio
• Beric'ht Auscultaval
• The Talossan News Project
• and the once-official Regipäts Televiziun (RTV)

I feel like I'm missing something, though.

[Tierçéu Rôibeardescù]

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

[Tierçéu Rôibeardescù]

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 was gonna call it Radieu Naziunal Talossan

It sounds like there's three people with some level of interest here... @Mximo , @Tierçéu , and @Barclamïu , maybe you could collaborate?  Take it from me when I say that most of the successful media enterprises involve more than one person.  That way they don't fall apart when that person's initial surge of interest dissipates.  In fact, @Tafi was also interested in trying to get a journalism thing going in el glheþ -- you guys could all four team up and make this into something really dynamic, without any one person feeling all of the pressure.

I wonder how.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

If you're interested, you can message the other people involved or just propose something here.  Options you might want to consider:

• Making it a legal incorporation with rules about how decisions are made. (You'd need a lawyer for this probably.)
• Asking for your own forum after things get going.
• Deciding on your branding and what programming you'd want to offer.  Presumably chosen music, but also old Talossan media and new language programs.  I'd offer the episodes of Beric'ht Auscultuval to be played, if it helps.
  
  I'd be happy to offer any assistance I can.  I know from experience that running a media thing is likely to burn you out, unless you find a way to share the burden.  I published Beric'ht Talossan for two years without missing an issue, and it's only because I had many others on whom I could rely for content.

I 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.

Also, should we have a licence to fund RNT?

I'd be willing to collaborate myself on this in at least a small fashion, like a talk-style show with guests or if I'm able to, DJ'ing my favorite playlist.

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.

You do where I'm from, sadly.

Wait, really? I'm surprised. I guess it would probably need to be headquartered somewhere that makes it possible, then.
