Internet Radio, Cheaper than Satellite.

I don't know if I will ever go back to listening to terrestrial radio again after finding Internet Radio. Picture HAM radio from the 50s and then transpose it to your computer. That is the world of Internet Radio.

With so many sites to choose from, www.blogtalkradio.com seems to stand out from the rest as they have REAL radio shows hosted by everyday people just like you and me! All you need is a high speed DSL or Broadband connection and you are good to go! You can talk about almost anything you like and you even have a soundboard, switchboard, profile page, and a chatroom all at your disposal as you broadcast. Why, you can even make money doing it! The kicker? You only need a common house phone or cell phone to call in on to do your very own show! This site has shows on just about anything and everything and they even supply a LIVE technical support team should you have questions or issues. Go check them out.

Now they are not the only game in town, but they are the most professional. They seem to attract the more adult, intellectual crowd both on air and in their fan base. There are other sites such as www.nowlive.com that provide young people state of the art media as well as all mentioned above along with the ability to use your webcam while you broadcast live. They too, only require a phone or VOIP program to host your show. Nowlive seems to cater more to the teen and young adult chat crowd of Myspace , Facebook , Fubar and other networking sites and don't really have shows of real substance aired on there (maybe YOU could be their first stand out show of substance!).

These sites run 24/7 and have some very interesting personalities on them. Also check out www.live365.com and even www.justintv.com. There are so many ways today to express yourself online.

So, if you have ever watched someone on TV or heard someone on the radio and thought "I am wayyyy better than him or her!" Now, you have the way and means to show off that talent!!! If you decide to do a show, come on back and email me and I will even post it right here on my Blog! NOTHING BEATS FREE ADVERTISEMENT!! Lol. Happy broadcasting!

Stay Tuned…..
