Topic: Getting Started with LoudCity

Operating a streaming radio station on the Internet can be great fun. People start internet stations for a variety of reasons...

1) To share a love of music with friends, family or the world.
2) As an engaging hobby (Internet radio can be a great hobby because it's always a work in progress).
3) As an outreach tool for a local school, church or other organization.
4) In the hope of one day growing a small station into a business.

Regardless of the reason, entering the world of online radio can be a little daunting. There are technical considerations and legal obligations to be aware of. LoudCity can help. We will guide you through the process of establishing a legal and affordable internet radio station.

All LoudCity plans include royalty coverage with US Performance Rights Organizations (P.R.O.s) BMI, SESAC, ASCAP and SoundExchange. LoudCity systems constantly monitor your streams and gather statistics on what's playing and how many are listening. That information is used to compile reports which are then submitted to the P.R.O.s along with licensing fees and royalty payments.

LoudCity stations are also automatically featured in the LoudCity music portal where hundreds of listeners come every day to sample music offered by our webcasters.

With LoudCity you can legally stream your favorite music on the internet, knowing that your royalty obligations - and your "derriere" - are covered. Best of all, you don't have to be a technical genius to do it.

Our plans start at only $35.00 per month and include:

1) Reporting and royalty coverage with BMI, SESAC, ASCAP and SoundExchange
2) Optional stream hosting services
3) Month-to-month billing - cancel anytime
4) An initial 15 day money-back guarantee
5) Free setup and ongoing technical support
6) A free listing in the LoudCity online community music portal
