Instructions:
Once you have signed up for your Ustream.tv account you will want to follow the steps on creating an Ustream.tv Broadcast Channel. This is where you will broadcast your online radio from. Use all the information that you want for your radio station on this channel such as name & photo.
Once everything is updated you should have an option to broadcast on the top right of your screen. Click broadcast & it will ask you what channel you want to broadcast on if you have multiple channels. Select the correct channel & click ok. Your broadcast console will now show. You will now want to remove the check mark under video. These will allow your regular Radio Station photo to be shown instead of your actual webcam. From there you will select your input device or your sound mixer.
What I do is switch back in fourth from Microphone to Windows Sound Mixer. Microphone is so I can speak into the microphone & sound mixer is so you can hear what songs are played on my computer. Remember all sounds will be broadcasted that are played from your computer so keep that in mind when using sound mixer. If you do not have sound mixer enabled you will have to find those instruction's by going thru control panel & clicking your sound settings.
If all else fails review your sound card manual or search for instructions on your favorite search engine. Thousands of radio stations are ran this exact way on Ustream.tv & all over the internet. To have much more professional look to your radio station take the code they give you under the Share tab & add that info to your website. These will allow visitors to hear your station from your own website.
Ideas for Online Radio Stations: The possibilities are ends if you think about it. I have seen online radio stations broadcast about News, Politics, War, Government, Video Games, Online Games, Hip Hop, Country Music, Hard Rock Music, Computer tech,
The list goes on & on I suggest do whatever sounds fun to you. If you like country music broadcast songs of your favorite artists such as Tim Mcgraw, Travis Tritt, Randy Travis, and so on and on. Same thing goes with Hip Hop. You can broadcast Eminem, 2Pac, Dr. Dre, N.W.A. Ghetto Boys, Jay-z. The list goes on & on. As for safety & precautions.
Always follow Ustream.tv Terms Of Service. And always make sure you have what licenses' rights to broadcast certain Artist's via the Internet if there is any. I don't know about all the legal stuff I would highly recommend you finding out though thru local search engines or even a lawyer.
Tips & Tricks on promoting your Online Radio Station: Tell your friends & family. Make T-Shirts, Business Cards, and Flyers, Advertise Online, MySpace.com, FaceBook, Craigslist.org, Forums & Online Games. Always follow restrictions & rules. But there is no harm in letting your friends know about your new online radio station. Give your radio station unique names never infringe on another radio station's copyrights or trademarks.
The more unique your name is the more of a chance people will remember to bookmark your radio station.
Co Hosting Optional: With Ustream.tv you can have guest tune in & broadcast on your radio station live with you! This option is under your Broadcast Console & can be enabled or disabled. Once enabled all guest have to do is click the link provided on the screen by the chat room channel. You will be able to control if they get video or audio option on your online radio station.
General Tips & Tricks: Make a scrolling Marque that goes across the screen on your online radio station broadcast this is a great place to put news updates or even sponsors who help with your online radio station. Always make sure you have all other windows closed while broadcasting. Anything open or surfing the internet can result in lag in your broadcast.
Setup a channel Bot or persistent moderators to keep your chat room & broadcast safe of spammers or haters. These people can be found by visiting the chat room #Help. You can easily get to the help chat room by typing /Join #help in the chat window. Once there ask if anyone can help or knows how to setup a Bot & wouldn't mind giving you instructions on how to do so.
