Talossan Radio

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

I'm a Talossan lawyer, but that doesn't make me any kind of lawyer you'd want for any other court, much less a copyright and licensing lawyer, much less a British copyright and licensing lawyer.  But the PPL Linear Webcast License states pretty specifically that it doesn't cover any broadcasting outside of its "extended territory," which includes places like Mexico and Germany (for an annual £90), but does not include the United States.  Right now, the PPL fee is £207.

It seems like you also need another license, the PRS, too.

If your broadcast can be accessed in the United States, though, none of the copyright holders get paid for any listeners there, and so you need to pay for the rights to that by joining one of the licensing groups like ASCAP.

Honestly, the whole thing for Option 2 is just a nightmare, and unless you can drag a pro in here to work on it like @Sevastáin Pinátsch (who's no longer a citizen) then you're probably better off going for Option 1 or 3.

RadioKing sounds like a good choice for Option 3.

I don't want to let this die on the vine, so I'm giving a little nudge, @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù, @Mximo Malt, @Barclamïu da Miéletz, and @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP.  Would it be helpful for me to help get some stuff set up?

I don't know how to set it up, so unfortunately not, no.

Well for clarity, I feel like I do. 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

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

[Audrada Roibeardet]

I was considering doing something similar a couple of years ago. It was going to be a 24 hour "television" station on YouTube.

I was planning on doing a four hour block of programming that repeated. I was having a heck of a time coming up with program ideas to fill a four hour block. I also realized that doing a news program would be a real pain.

Anyway, I think if it's original Talossan content, you should be fine. Of course, we don't have a lot of Talossan content.

There you go, you've got my two cents. Don't know if that helps at all.

Audrada, I very much enjoyed our interview. You are welcome to contribute to Fora Talossa which is somewhat active currently.
