| If we only play royalty free/creative commons music, we wouldn't need to pay for PRS/PPL/MCPS licenses, potentially saving us a bit of money. But would we want to limit ourselves like this?
| |
| | |
| = Financing =
| |
| We need to make money (as well as prove to Ofcom that we can pay the bills).
| |
| | |
| == Merchandise ==
| |
| * FM Radios
| |
| * FM Radio kits?
| |
| * Clothing
| |
| | |
| == Advertising ==
| |
| Do we want to sell out?
| |
| | |
| == Donations ==
| |
| Can we either reduce costs by having kit donated or have donations to pay for equipment?
| |
| | |

| == Accommodation ==
| |
| Where are we going to go?
| |
| === Physical Space ===
| |
| === Power Supply ===
| |
| === Networking & Comms ===
| |
| Network connection, telephone lines
| |
| | |
| === Acoustics? ===
| |
| == Transmission ==
| |
| === Processing ===
| |
| Software or hardware?
| |
| | |
| === FM Transmission ===
| |
| A transmitter usually helps
| |
| | |
| === Online Streaming ===
| |
| We need a PC and a sound card (preferably a good one), as well as a server on a reletively fat pipe to serve the stream (both internal and external)
| |
| | |
| === DAB? ===
| |
| You can get event slots on some DAB muxes, we'd need to hire space at the mux and get some sort of codec, and some sort of transmission method (IP or ISDN, maybe microwave link)
| |
| | |
| Really expensive, and not so easy to sell radios at the site to pick it up.
| |
| | |
| == Studio ==
| |
| === Mixing ===
| |
| === Microphones ===
| |
| === Outboard ===
| |
| === Playout ===
| |
| | |
| == Outside Broadcasts ==
| |
| We might want to broadcast live from outside of the studio (and gain audience participation)
| |
| | |
| * UHF mic/belt pack tx + IEM? (depends on range required)
| |
| * Broadcast RF Tx/Rx?
