I'm the technician for WRMC, Moravian's intranet-only (only on campus) streaming broadcast radio station. We'd like to go Internet-wide, but the FCC site is quite confusing. Anyone have experience with the licensing involved in the change? The technology end is ready, but I wouldn't want to unleash us against the law, you know? We don't have any other licenses that I know of at this time. Thank you for your input! Forgive me, if I'm one of a hundred replies here... You don't need a license to stream on the Internet. The FCC does not regulate streaming audio. What you WILL need is clearance from various rights groups, such as the recording industry licensers (BMI, ASCAP, SESAC). That'll likely cost the college money, for any copyrighted music that your station streams. You may also need to talk to these folks: http://www.soundexchange.com/faq.html The following PDF file would seem to explain it...check near the bottom of page four for your situation: http://www.kurthanson.com/internet-radio-handout5-1.pdf But I'd definitely go through your college's faculty advisor, and through any NCE/college radio organization to which your over-air station belongs... |
