You need a website (domain name and server). you need server software for the radio stream like shout cast or ice cast. You’ll need a client software like edcast to connect your djs to the server, or do this in house.

Each set up is diferant so it’s best to research the diferant programs etc, and see what suits you best.

There are also places that host radio stations for you if you pay them.

A lot of these post come from small countries in Asia. Out there it is far easier to set up a traditional radio station than it might seem, and if you can get reliable Internet service from your telephone company you can stream on line as well.

You do need to work with the Communications Ministry, but many make it easier than doing it in Britain, especially in rural areas. Your license conditions may say you cannot just play electronic pop music 24/7 but must have talk programmes, news and weather in the morning, and shows for any minority languages spoken by your community, and about farming and environment – and if there should be an environmental incident (floods, earthquake etc) you must have some emergency equipment so that you can give out news and support to your area.

Check with your local and national Governments, and the UN – they are actually very supportive of community radio in Asia these days.
