How do the radio stations get their songs?

February 24, 2010 - 7:33 pm 2 Comments

Nowadays I know all the radio stations use computers, I just want to know the name of the service they use and how much it charges!!! THANKS!

Most use Broadcast Programming, Play MPE, or TM Century. None of those companies will sell to anyone except radio stations. Many record labels send CD’s or MP3’s directly to stations.
There are companies that will sell you a hard drive pre-loaded with an entire music library…but again only radio stations can buy them.

How do you get radio stations on ipod touch?

You know how you can stream radio stations on itunes? There’s hundreds of radio stations to choose from. Is it possible to do that on the ipod touch? Or do you have to download an app? If so, is there a free app that has all sorts of radio stations. I always use the Last.fm radio app or Pandora…but I want something different or similar to the radio stations that itunes has to offer.

Yes, you need to downlaod an app .. the best free ones are nova, abc … but the best one is tune in radio which cost about 1.19 but has hundreds of international stations

Why AM radio stations goes far away in the nigiht?

During the day I can listen only to local AM radio stations. During the night even radio from other countries.
Why?

Note.
I am asking about medium wave radio not short wave radio.

There are a couple of different layers of the ionosphere in play here. The lower layer, called the D layer, tends of absorb radio signals during the day. At night, the Sun is gone and the ionization of this layer ceases. The D layer disappears and signals can pass higher up to layers that refract, rather than absorb signals like the E or F layers.

During the day, MF sky wave prorogation is absorbed and you can only get signals via ground wave propagation. At night, you get the sky wave.

Can you use the itunes radio stations as background sound for youtube videos?

I want to make a series of youtube videos but I don’t want to go around finding several copyright free songs for each one. If I just let the radio from itunes play in the background while I speak, will that be copyright-free?

I mean the radio stations ARE free so it SHOULD be ok, you’d think?

Nope. Radio stations obtain the right by the copyright owners of the music to play it. As long as you record and use a section of radio play that has a copyrighted song playing, you are still committing infringement. Not only that, you’re now probably infringing on the radio station unless you get permission from them ALSO, to use their broadcasts.

In my most subtle, non-crime-endorsing opinion, I find it easier to just say screw it and upload whatever. If it gets deleted, oh well. Life goes on.

My dad wants to hear radio stations from Mexico, Oaxaca but I can’t seem to find a place where he can listen to them online. We live in Los Angeles and he want to listen to his home-town music. Does anybody know where I can go to so my dad could listen to different radio stations online?

He wants to listen to radio station only from the area Oaxaca, Mexico.

Please help.
Thank you.

Maybe try Pandora.com

Why do some radio stations, shopping malls and grocery stores play Christmas songs all the time?

February 7, 2010 - 2:19 am 5 Comments

That is, a month before Christmas? I don’t observe Christmas myself but I have no beef with those who wish to celebrate it and play that kind of music. What annoys me is when grocery stores, shopping malls and radio stations start playing ONLY Christmas music 24/7. If they want to mix Christmas songs with their normal music, fine, but why do they have to play ONLY Christmas music for a month before Christmas?

To get us in the mood to spend money, of course.

what do radio stations require for employment?

January 31, 2010 - 3:07 am 3 Comments

I would like to become a radio personality! I have the heart and desire to, but i need help on getting started. I would like to know what it really is that radio stations are looking for. Degree? Experience?

A good voice, good reading skills, good personality, decent appearance and the desire to work crummy hours for low pay. Call your local radio station and see if you can volunteer and work your way into the busines that way. Radio voicing is almost a thing of the past so don’t waste your time getting a degree in media. Volunteer, learn the biz and work a few holidays.

Can radio stations tell if you are tunning out of their frequency?

I’m just wondering because the extremely irritating TECATE LIGHT commercials really tick me off. Whenever that commercial comes up I either switch the radio off or tune onto another station. I guess I’m hoping enough people do this so that radio stations see that people are getting fed up with TECATE LIGHT.

…TECATE LIGHT.

If you are in the US and taking part in an Arbitron PPM survey – yes. Otherwise (and this is 99%) no.

UNLESS it’s Sirius or XM, in which case they might be able to track listening that closely.

I’ve found that when a commercial offends me, a letter (or email) to the advertising dept. or Investor reations dept. will register on their radar. See below.
