Radionomy Offers Anyone Their Own Full-Featured Radio Station--And Ad $$, Too
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at 8:20AM
Radionomy, a Europe-based streaming service, is offering users the change to create a do-it-yourself radio station, following in the steps of Live365.
The new platform allows you to create music playlists and schedules from a universe of songs (just like a real radio station), record your own jingles and IDs (just like a real radio station) and record talk segments (just like a real radio station). Everything can be programed up to a month in advance.
Even cooler is the chance to collaborate with anyone else on the planet. And because Radionomy sells ad time, there's a money-making opportunity. The company's most popular channel brings in about $2,000 a month to its progammers.
This is a fantastic opportunity for radio wonks, political types, gadget geeks, broadcasting students and businesses looking to incorporate something new into their marketing plans.

Aside from the obvious music-bias, is this a lot different from the really popular BlogTalkRadio.com? I was involved with a show on that platform for about a year and it was a lot of fun. I think with BTR you could work your way up from free to ad-supported too, depending on popularity.
Radionomy is different than Blog Talk Radio for a couple reasons. First off, it's completely free: they cover streaming costs, server costs and pay all music rights royalties. Beyond that, they share ad revenue with producers. Radionomy also has a completely professional programming tool that feels like a real Radio DJ tool...jingles, newscasts, podcasts, fades, unlimited uploads...these are real programming tools.
