Hello u/radio**,**

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on—MothPlayer, an audio player designed with radio automation and deejays in mind! It supports both playback and casting, making it a versatile tool for broadcasters.

I'm currently trialing the initial release for 30 days to gather feedback from the radio community and refine the software. If you're interested in trying it out, you can download it here: 🔗 MothPlayer Download & Info and 🔗 Listen Live.

Features:

✅ Audio Playback – Supports WAV/MP3
✅ Automation & Scheduling – Playlist, random playback, DJ support, weather integration
✅ Content Management – Queue, hotkeys, categories, tracks, artists, playlists, schedules, DJs, and genres
✅ Logging & Configuration – Track your broadcasts and customize settings
✅ Casting Support – Stream directly to Icecast2

System Requirements:

🖥️ OS – Windows 10/11
⚙️ CPU – Modern, multi-core processor (Intel i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen 5/7 recommended)
💾 RAM – 16GB minimum
🎧 Audio – Dedicated sound card recommended for best performance
🎮 Graphics – A dedicated GPU improves responsiveness

I’m still documenting features and refining the software. If you're part of a community station and want to provide feedback or suggest improvements, I'd love to collaborate!

I’ve designed MothPlayer to be intuitive, but if you need help getting started, feel free to reach out:

Note: Streaming incurs costs on my end, so I’ll be limiting casting time.

If you’re interested in a license once the final release is ready, or if you have other service requests, please let me know.

🚀 Thank you for your support—long live radio! 🎙️

Hi everyone, this is such a long shot but I figured I’d post anyway. A few years ago I called in to Elvis Duran to try to win $1,000 and I won!! I was so excited, I talked to Elvis and his team for a bit and then they transferred me to one of their staff so I could give my information. The lady said I should be receiving an email so I could fill out my information for tax purposes, but I never got the email. I obviously know this was a long time ago but it’s frustrating that there was no follow up. Anyone else have a similar situation happen to them?

I’m looking for all of the most popular songs! Here’s what I’m looking for:

Good rock and roll from the 70s and 80s.

Pop from the 70s and 80s. Pop from 2000-2016.

Modern country from about 2000-now.

My PD's version of a perfect show would have 11 callers for a show. Right now, no one calls me.

I get about 1 call a week from listeners if anything. I've been farming my friends for fake callers but some of those friendships are deteriorating because of it so I've been holding back on those calls.

I feel like it's horrible radio to just fake all your content, and maybe if no one's ever calling we shouldn't be doing call based radio??

Have any of you been here? How do I farm people for content? I'm not even friends with any locals 🥲

Hey guys,I'm an amateur broadcaster from the Philippines,And I compete as a technical director(dude that handles the sfxs and bg music) And I can't find any more decent sounds online,can y'all recommend or send me some sounds If you can?Thanksss!

Looking for some advice and recommendations on a remote studio setup for my drive home guy. He had to move about 45 minutes away from the studio and doesn't make sense to be driving through days we have inclement weather.

Here is what we are hoping to accomplish. He refuses to do VoiceTracking or IVT... he wants to do it live like he has always done (Old DJ stuck in his ways). I can have the playout schedule of his show with the on air pc run but he would simply need a way of being able to hot mic in and with a pc/laptop be able to see the on air playout from his home studio via internet and to also hear the audio on his side.

I have an Axia Livewire setup. Is there a remote setup within Axia or would it be better to network another codec and tie that in? I'm drawing a blank on how to route all of this.

I apologize if this is the wrong sub-reddit for me to be asking this question but recently I've listened to KYARadio and KABL 960 Radio which are two online streams that re-create the feel of listening to radio in the sixties. Just now, I found an online station with Wolfman Jack on it and I've known about Rewound Radio for a long time.

Out of all the streams that I mentioned, I love 1260 KYA the most because of the vintage jingles and ads that are played in-between songs which really makes the station feel like a "Solid Gold Oldies" one when most "Oldies" stations are starting to cut back on songs from the 50s and 60s. Gary Mora's VO work is great too.

Hi, thanks for taking the time out to read this post.

When I was a child I would listen to the radio station.

Alot.

At that time my brother and I had to share a gameboy & My parents would Watch TV, We didnt really have any other forms of entertainment since computers were just coming around (90s).

It was sort of a way I entertained myself...

Sometimes I would lay down on the foor and put my head very close to the radio on low volume.

I recall one night I was listening although I cannot remember the occasion. I seem to remember a time a radio station was being fairwelled live on air. I believe I had exprenced it going off air as part of a fairwell!

If anyone has any knowedge or evidence of this happening please let me know!

Feed A is airing a simulcast of the postgame show from the Eagles Radio Network, which is understandable in the aftermath of the NFC championship game. But Feed B is airing earrape, Feed C is airing static, Feed D is airing silence, Feed E is airing a conservative talk show, and Feed F is airing silence.

While Feed G is airing the AFC championship game, what's up with the earrape and political talk?

Hello. I heard a snippet from Bob Kingsley’s ACC from 1990, specifically the song, Nothings News by Clint Black. it was on TikTok. I instantly fell in love with the low fidelity sound and feel of it all. After 4 days of hunting YouTube I finally found the broadcast it was from. I also found a few more and have listened to them. Im absolutely hooked on these broadcasts, I love Bob’s passion for the music and the stories he tells.

I would really like to hear more of them, specifically from 1990 to 1994. But most get taken down unfortunately.

So my main question, does anyone have any broadcast they could upload to YouTube or the Internet Archive?

Thanks to anyone who post any!

I’ve had 1 big commercial break that lasted me 3 months - the host and I didn’t get along. I had another gig of 3 months doing remote for several stations. I can’t afford to move right now, but I want to keep relevant and see what is out there! Tips, help, advice - all welcome and appreciated!

My best friend many years before I knew her tried to win her husband tickets to a concert of band he liked on the radio. The contest was super simple. Spell the name of the band and the tickets were yours. She called in and failed.

I’ve heard the radio clip played probably on YouTube. Again years before I met her. She didn’t tell me about this story until we’d been friends for a few years.

The radio station was in the north east. Maybe Delaware or Maryland. Maybe New Jersey, long island or maybe even Illinois. She doesn’t remember where they were living at the time. It would have been mid to late 80s or into the 90s. (They were a military family) The band you ask? INXS.

I’d love to find this clip and send it to her. The way she tells it is hysterical. If you find yourself bored please link any inxs radio contest fails. I’d know her voice if it doesn’t play her name.
