Tips on starting your own internet radio station by Carol Barrett Toronto

  • Find decent hardware
Internet radio hosts start with finding the right hardware for their radio and it all starts with a computer and a reliable internet connection. To help you create a radio station with minimal risk of difficulties, it is better if you choose to use broadband. Next in the list is headphones and a studio-quality microphone. For resistance to the higher pitches of your voice, condenser mics are the best. Find time to read the manual of your kit, plug it in and find a calm space that you will come back to.
  • Get software
The key to your success is finding the perfect radio automation software. One of the most popular radio automation software packages for budding radio hosts is SAM Broadcaster Cloud. This will allow you to generate multiple stations and syncing them effortlessly to your music library. You can step away from your control desk as the automated system takes over. Also, you can field listeners requests and set playlists.
  • Get a website
Every credible radio host needs one so that you can provide a landing point for your audio brand. Popular choices also include free website builders but they might not give a URL within the basic price. Try to endorse blogging to your site like Carol Barrett Toronto on YouTube. Doing it at least once a month could boost your ranking in the search engines.
  • Ensure that you are covered for royalties
If you are playing licensed music on a regular basis, you will definitely have to clear the air with a broadcasting regulator who will sanction your playlist for the airwaves. Depending on the size of your station, upping their license costs when the base of your listeners starts to grow. At times, the rules vary from country to country. Set clear guidelines for yourself, guests and presenters to be checked and agreed before appearing on air is a good way to avoid problems.
  • Have a service provider
Figure out what you want best with your internet radio station. Research a few service providers, and pick out the one that best meets your needs. They will give you a platform to upload your automated playlists and broadcast your own content live using an encoder.
  • Station branding
There are lots of internet radio stations but you can win the competition with your own unique branding. Be recognized by your own slogan, logo and the type of music that you play. Build the personality of your station.


This may sound like a hard work but Carol Barrett Canda have gone through these before she became popular because of her own internet radio. Just always remember to promote your radio station and if you like, you can have it live or automated. Ask your service provider if they are capable of doing both.

There are some more things that are needed to be considered in starting your internet radio station. Once you found this equipment and software, think about the costs that you will spend, or you could fund it through ads. Think about your distribution or how your station will be noticed. You can promote your radio station if you want or you can benefit from the service provider.
