The marriage between the right Live DJ broadcast software (that you run from your computer) and a remote Auto DJ that seamlessly takes over when you are not broadcasting live, is a serious consideration when running an Internet radio station.
Dead air is a bad word in broadcasting. Not only to your listeners but also to your advertisers and sponsors who pay you to run ads on your station.
So selecting a reliable Stream Host Provider whose systems work well with your broadcasting software.
The perfect marriage is SAM Broadcaster Pro and Live365.
