Radios

I would like to start a weekly radio show on my college’s internet radio station with old recordings of the Mercury Theater shows. Does anyone know if that would violate copyright laws (or other applicable law relating to radio broadcast)?

Thanks for your help!

Several issues to slice at: whether you need a copyright license for non-profit use in an educational institution, whether it would be a different answer if the "channel" were only accessible to students at the college, whether the original works are copyrighted, and (if so) when do they expire.

The US Copyright law grants a limited exemption for certain educational uses. Read 17 USC s. 110 to see if your proposed use falls under one of them. If not, you may be able to obtain an inexpensive license from the copyright owners (typically the producers and their successor owners).

The Mercury Theater recordings were originally recorded prior to 1973, so they are not covered by any federal copyright. However, state laws prohibit unauthorized publication of sound recordings, so could still find yourself sued for copyright infringement in, say, Massachusetts. They would have to prove, among other things, that you "copied" the recording "without consent" and for the purpose of "profit" from a public performance, or to "sell, rent or transport" any unauthorized copy.

Under many state copyright laws, the copyright NEVER expires. These laws will remain in effect until they are preempted by the federal copyright law in 2067, making all such works "public domain", i.e., no longer covered by any copyright in the USA.

I would like to host a internet radio programme, without starting my own station.

Use 1000MIKES – Radio 2.0.. to start you off and tell your friends to listen or post it on facebook or twitter. Don’t use illegal music because they can end up blocking you. Its quick and easy to set up and you can see how many people are listening to you at the time. hope that helped

I get very bad reception in a small house in France surrounded by hills. So if I buy an ‘internet radio’ of which many are now on sale, what wires, electricity supply, aerial(?) do I need and where do I have to be in relation to the p.c. on the ground floor ????? Any help appreciated. I know I can get reception on the p.c. but I want to listen upstairs.

You could try internet tuners by Grace, Sangean, Coby, Aluratek, etc. I have an Aluratek AIREC01F that I like for the most part. I use it wirelessly with a wireless router connected to my modem. Believe me, internet streams sound better through a decent stereo system than computer speakers.

I mean from radio telescopes. Is there any website where I can go and just listen to live streaming space sounds?

yes!.. KYBL 659.83.. Andromeda Central..

You are listening to a radio station on the FM mode, and you are listening to a morning show, and the announcer uses foul language and says the "A" word or p****d off etc, and at times he plays music has foul language. I find it quite annoying and unacceptable, and surprised that the FCC don’t do anything about it.

I also wonder why the FCC lets it continue It certainly is unprofessional and small children should not be subjected to vulgar language nor any of the public that finds it offensive. I would report the station, date and time in a formal complaint to the FCC with a copy to the station manager. The public has every right to expect common decency on our public airways. If some one chooses R rated or X rated in a private setting, but not in public.

So I’ve noticed that some radio stations tend to speed up their songs and make them higher pitched. like some radio stations speed them up by 3, 4, 5%. some even speed it up by 6 or 7%. i mean, i don’t have a problem with it but i was just wondering why.

do any of your local radio stations do that?

that’s dumb. and probay just to fit in more songs in a time slot, or so people find the tune more catchy

Nothing against any style of music, but where I live few people listen to mexican music radio stations, but they come in really clear, where as all the other music channels, that most people listen too, are in and out of reception constantly. Can radio stations only boost the range on mexican music?

Yeah! Why is that??? Good Question!

I love listening to Joe and the Poorboy on the radio, but it’s on from 6 am – 10 am which is when I’m at school. Does anybody know how to record it so I can listen when I get home?

Hi, as far as I know, there is a streaming audio recorder which can record any streaming radio playing on your computer. You only need to click on button to start to record streaming radio. Let it record and click off button until 10 am. The pity is that it doesn’t have time scheduler.

By internet radio, I mean stations that are exclusivly available online, like VH1 radio. And yes, I’ve heard of Pandora, the make-your-own radio station sort of thing.

No real careers yet. Maybe in 10 years.

Is there any sites out there that broadcast live streaming CB radio chit chat? I’ve found nothing and the one i did find didnt work.
