OK guys, I'm starting up an internet radio station. Here's my idea: I've programed a computor to play files of LOCAL news stories. In other words there are a bunch of LOCAL news stories placed on it and it plays them then repeats just like you play music. Ofcourse, there is going to be a webb site on which you will find the button to stream the news as well as the usual stuff, banners, written local news etc.
My thinking is this, here in Florida there are few radio stations that do any LOCAL news anymore. They either join the net for five minutes an hour, if that, for National stories, do a minute of headlines or just skip any news all together. That being the case, my content is unique and easy to, produce as I record each story once and add it to the rotation, not read a newscast over and over. The issue for local people, working , sitting at home playing on the computor or soon listening in cars will not be how they get my service but rather THAT THEY DO.
Ofcourse, I have to pay for this somehow and even though I have worked out an unbelievably cheap way to do it, I need to know what I can expectto make selling commercials and banners etc.
Anybody out there make a living doing this? How much do you make a month from your site? Do you make a strong effort to sell? How many salesmen? Can anybody tell me?
Thanks in advance
