Six reasons to start your own internet radio station

If you have ever wanted your own station, the barriers are lower than they have ever been. Here is why it is worth doing.

1. Reach a global audience

Anyone with an internet connection can tune in, wherever they are. Your station is not limited by a city or a transmitter.

2. Stay on air around the clock

Go live when you want, and let AutoDJ and scheduling carry the rest, so your station is always playing, even while you sleep.

3. Skip the complicated tech

A laptop and an internet connection are enough. There is no transmitter, no studio build and no engineering background required.

4. Get your own mobile app

Large, Pro and Enterprise plans include a personal iPhone and Android app, so listeners can tune in on the move.

5. Serve a niche you love

Indie music, tech news, local talk: internet radio lets you programme exactly what you care about for the people who want it.

6. Build a community and an income

As your audience grows, you can earn through sponsors, adverts and listener donations while building a brand people trust.
