Talossan Radio

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Wow, that's astonishing.  Things have changed -- you never used to need anything back in the day (although I guess we're talking like 20 years ago at this point, and maybe we were supposed to have one even then).  It seems like there's a lot of people who know about this stuff and can offer help, though!  That's amazing!  That's what we're all about here!

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.

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.)

Also, should we have a licence to fund RNT?

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

You do where I'm from, sadly.

Yeah I might pull out of this.

If you are going to play any music you would have to pay for royalties, generally you can pay through BMI  and I think they do a lump sum that gets split between all of the writers of the music (sadly the performer gets nothing unless they also wrote the song)

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

[Tierçéu Rôibeardescù]

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?

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

Just as an example

[Tierçéu Rôibeardescù]

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