That's right folks, aberdeen-music.com radio is now officially on-air! At the moment the station is continuously playing tracks from all the local bands and artists that submitted MP3s to me over the last few weeks. Many thanks to you that did submit tracks and there is now currently over 1 hour of local music on the play list. This will only increase and evolve as more tracks are submitted and bands/artists swap out older tracks for newer ones.

Please note only those with a broadband connection to the Internet will be able to successfully tune into the radio station at present.

Now for the information many of you amateur DJs/radio show producers have been waiting for! How can you get your own show on aberdeen-music.com? It's relatively simple and the following two FAQ articles should explain what you need to know:


- How do I get my music onto the radio station's playlist?
- How can I get my own show and/or DJ on the radio station?


Please read the articles above and if you would still like to broadcast your own show or event (either pre-recorded or live) then please contact Dave to book a time and date. Please contact me if you have any technical queries.

Many thanks to Dave for volunteering to help with all this! Dave will be responsible for broadcasting the first of hopefully many shows on aberdeen-music.com radio. Keep an eye out for the date and time of when we expect this to take place.

HAHAHA, i just saw the link... clicked on it... WHAM! Onion Terror... good stuff.

I'm guessing you're going to be using this host / location / url all the time, as it's the same one that was saved in my i-tunes from the test broadcast.

Yep, the broadcast URL will not change so you are safe to bookmark it or whatever.

[Dave]

Yes indeedy, this is going to be great. This is for all of you who have ever moaned about DJs in clubs and the radio not playing the music YOU want to hear. Your time is now.

For all of you who want to host a show on the station, please PM me and give me some details about what you plan to broadcast, and when you would like to go on air if you're doing it live. I'll get back to you as soon as humanly possible and let you know what your next step is going to be. If anyone would like me to sit in on their show when they do it for the first time I'll be quite happy to help out.

We want to broadcast a wide variety of interesting and exciting material on the station. All we ask is that your broadcasts don't break any laws and are presented in a way that is going to be as enjoyable as possible to those listening. There is no set music policy, feel free to have fun and make your voice heard. Just remember you're representing Aberdeen Music to the world.

The shows will be advertised on the public calendar, and once the station takes off we will look at getting a schedule of sorts in place. Once we get an idea of the amount of people who want to get involved in the station, and the material they want to broadcast, then things should become clearer.

Tomorrow, my bedroom is being converted into a radio studio. No half measures for me!
