Welcome new listeners - Scooter Radio on the up

Hi all

Day 4 of the new Scooter Radio station saw our highest number of visitors yet, giving a total of nine hours of listening time for the day. That's really not bad at all for an internet radio station starting from scratch, and I'm sure it is down to the style of music we play.

There is a very active, friendly, supportive community in the scooter world, which covers quite a few musical tastes. But underlying it all is a liking for Northern Soul, mod sounds etc, and a wish to listen to it as much as possible.

I've found that on Facebook there is a huge number of like-minded folk and a great range of groups all interested in the scooter, 60s, soul, mod lifestyle - so I've linked up with many of them and I hope that those who have already listened to Scooter Radio are enjoying it.

There are 69 tracks on the playlist at the moment - I'll list them for you later in the week. I can put a few more up, but then I reach a limit for my package with Live365 and will have to pay to upgrade. I'll only do that if the listening figures justify it - there's no point if no one is out there enjoying it!

The station is on air FREE 24/7. The playlist - over three hours of top tunage - is on a loop, so no matter what time you tune in, you'll be able to enjoy some great stuff.

I can't really take requests as a result, but if there is something you desperately think should be added to the playlist, please leave a comment.

I'd love to hear your feedback anyway!

Enjoy

Scooter Radio off to a flyer! Great internet music on air now

Well it's been an educational and fun foray into the world of setting up my own radio station.

But two days after I had the impulse to start, Scooter Radio is up and running, with a great selection of tracks 24/7.

My first worry was who on earth would listen, and how would they even get to the station? Well already I've had more than 15 hours total listening time, from as far away as the USA, Canada and, er, Belgium!

They clearly like good music in Belgium - so keep the faith all our friends there!

I've currently got 69 tracks on the station playlist. You have to be careful about having too many from the same artist or album, so the mix is pretty good as a result.

Right now I'm on a basic broadcasting package with Live 365 that allows for a few more tracks to be included. Any more then I'll have to upgrade.

Obviously I'm not in this for the money, but I will get some of my fees back from people listening in and buying the VIP package, just as I did when I first started.

So basically I'm quite encouraged about the way things have started. Who knows how far we can take the station?
