You may have an Internet Radio station, but do you have agreements in place to cover royalties for the commercial music you stream?
In the UK that will mean licensing deals with the PRS and the PPL. But how can you have a license with these bodies unless you have proper reporting figures to supply them with?
This will mean actual accurate figures which cover your listener hours per day. A listener hour is one person listening to your station for one hour. Ten people listening for 2 hours would then become 20 listener hours overall.
Few budget Internet radio hosts are aware what a listener hour is, let alone the need of their clients for accurate reporting, to pass on to licensing bodies.
Fortunately, UltraStream supplies all customers with fully compliant reporting figures, at no extra cost.
Just one more thing we’re doing to make your life as an Internet Radio producer a little easier.
UltraStream have been chosen once again to provide the stream support for a major Muslim conference.
Working with established partners for the third year in a row, UltraStream provided support for up to 2,000 simultaneous listeners at CD quality 128kbps.
UltraStream’s powerful array of datacenter located rack servers swung into action to pick up the audio feed, and replicate it across the servers, ensuring that people from all over the world could tune in at full quality.
Mayday is a great time of year - Spring is in full swing and Summer is not far off.
To celebrate the new month, we have decided to give 50% off our Single Stream and All-In-One packages this week.
That’s a great reason to take the plunge and start the Internet Radio station you’ve been planning.
