Radio

I’ve been searching and searching, but I can’t find a radio station that plays Black Veil Brides. They’re like, #2 on United States top heavy metal bands, so I would think they’d be on a lot of stations, but I have never once heard them on the radio. I also live in Pennsylvania, since stations are different throughout the country. Thanks!

Radio plays little or no heavy metal. The audience would be too small.

I don’t know if it was exactly 88 degrees. They could say 87 or 89 but not 88 (or what the number actually was).
The 88 degrees was the name of a rivaling radio station. What was the true story behind all this?

I’ve been in radio 27 years and have never heard of this. Sounds like another urban myth.

I am writing a movie about the apocalypse. In it, the characters listen to the radio, and it zooms in, and shows the radio station with everybody dead, but music still running. Is there a way to "shuffle" music, or make it run for about a week or so without humans being around? And can you describe more clearly what the job is and how you would do it.

Do you have Itunes? Put a crapload of music and hit shuffle.

I am trying learning French, and would like to listen to a online radio station that is similar to radio 2 in the UK. So a French national station if one exists ?
Any suggestions ?

French radio stations tend to be more musically specialised than in the UK. There is no true equivalent of Radio 1 / 2 / 3 / 4.

The frequences are different according to the town you’re in. You can find all the frequencies on this site : http://www.frequences-radios.com/frequences-radios-gratuites-ville-PARIS.html

A few years ago I listened to a radio station in the afternoon where the dj read a sad love story letter and they played this sad music as he read the story. Can’t remember what station it was. Can anyone help?

where are you located geographically???? some sort of info would help to answer the question….we here are not mind readers, you know, psychics!!!

Or if you build a station can you buy another station’s radio license?

No, you have to personally apply for a new license.

When you call a radio station to win a prize and they say be caller #7 what is the trick so you don’t get a busy signal? Finally how do phone lines for radio stations work? I know they have multiple lines, but who is actuality answering the phone? Please let me know thank you.

The trick is persistence. Keep trying. Two phones, a speed dialer these all help but there are no guarantees.. The majority of radio station contests are answered by the DJ or producer running the show. Caller ID is usually not used to prevent illegal bias, and the number they give, i.e 23rd caller, is supposed to be accurate, though I have seen DJ’s who’ll get lazy and skip a few numbers until they get close to the number they asked for. Our two stations that do a lot fo contests have 6 caller lines. Our stations that have less call ins, have 3 -5 lines. The DJ usually has the option of the number, but some are fixed by management. It’s a serious offense to do the contest falsely so they usually play it straight.

How can i get a radio music licence for a small online radio station. I would like a guide price if possible and places to go get the licence. Thanks Very much.

If it’s ONLY an online(internet) service ( i.e. not broadcasting via a radio antenna ) then you wont need a licence.

I live in Central PA (Carlisle). Wondering what radio station if any has the games live. I have an IPOD4 so maybe there is an APP I can download that carrys the station?

in the Washington D.C. area is 92.7 FM, i doubt you’d get it up there but you can listen live online at

I live in a small town and am in high school. None of the radio stations around here have any variety, so a friend and I wanted to start our own radio station that plays music. I’ve been doing my research on LPFM stations, but every single site I go to says something different. Can anybody tell me what are the real rules and regulations, or if there is a better way to do a small scale radio station and even make a few bucks? Thanks!

The VERY first thing you need to do is go to google and type in "fcc low power radio station"

Then check what’s required for your state by adding the state’s name into the google search.

Using your local SBA and SCORE offices, they mentor new entrepreneurs, is key too. They’re found in your phone book and are free.
