UKIP Internet Radio Station

McUkip man · 16-10-2006, 08:37 PM

What about not having UKIP radio. Perhaps getting together with all the other anti EU groups & orginisations and setting up a more broadly based anti EU radio station. With all due respect to UKIP but we want it to be anti EU, not anti EU pro Tory staunch monarchist, extreme unionist. Adding these things on as UKIP would if going it alone would hinder the anti EU cause.

I am anti-EU,super anti-Tory Party,ultra-pro the Monarchy and almost an extreme Unionist.

I am also,100% ultra-pro UKIP.

What I am saying is if you do it jointly you will appeal to a wider audience. You may be the full UKIP but it is not about UKIP members it is about the listner.

If you ad the Tory Monarchy and union issues as a UKIP alone station would then you would do so needlesly at the expence of a great deal of potential listners and who would become potential supporters against the EU.

I looked at the UKIPWales website once and thought if I were a Welshman or that were UKIPScotland then I would not have supported them in a million years.

I agree - it needs to meet the audience, not be a propaganda diatribe, so start in the right place:

Can you come up with a list of forty good programme ideas, each of which might last for 40 minutes, and work as a series of 13 editions?

If you can't come up with a list roughly that size, don't bother (duplicates of existing formats are OK, but you need originality too). If you can, go for it.

If you're really serious about it, start a Yahoo list and discuss it in private, as your ideas are not just sensitive but commercially valuable. Bear in mind though that some forms of talk radio are the most expensive around, but some are cheap, also that unless you have significant funds, some, like 'phone-ins, are effectively unavailable to you for technical reasons.

I support the initiative, more so if it's a general EUsceptic channel, and would be happy to advise, if that's helpful. Contact me off-list of you are getting something together and want some help, and I'll supply details of my experience.

That's not a problem nowadays, with things like Skype available. It's very easy and cheap - possibly even free. And all you need is a computer with internet access to receive them. Assuming the broadcast is done by internet too, you don't even need a cable to connect it to the radio broadcast system.

I listen to a great podcast that has phone-ins (although not live, but it's recorded as-live), and it works very very well using Skype. I believe there's a monthly fee if you want a "real" phone number that people can call with a regular landline phone, but it'd be free just for computer calls.

To address the original poster, if you can get this radio up and running and entertaining we'd all be very very impressed.

Well, I have created a Yahoo Group to discuss the ideas and to try and advance this exiting project.

If anyone would like to get involved in this project then please join and make a difference!

Not going there right now, except to say it's not that simple.

Then it isn't a phone-in, by definition. But post the URL and I'll have a listen.

phone line provision for the on-air bit is a small fraction of the resources you need, and it does have to go through the mixer. I take your point that Skype has possibilities though - I use it for both Skype-out and Skype-in and it's pretty good. Trouble is though that once you start putting heavy demand on resources, people start wanting money.

I agree. Phone-ins are just a small possibility, but, as I said, they are technically demanding and expensive to do properly. The difficulty is having sufficient ideas to sustain a *station* rather than just a single programme.

I may have confused people,

the idea was to mix 18 Doughty Street with Tory Radio

Obviously with an anti eu radio output
