I don't mean that in a bad way about money though to them, PPNZ or APRA. It just costs time which is a hassle with LPFM with no budget for scheduling software with adequate reporting.
After all, we're talking about LPFM again, not big commercial radio. In saying that, I don't know which of the two has got tighter budgets, one's with or without shareholders watching over their shoulders. ;o)
FYI: Doug Gold's got a book I found at the local public library out called "Fun is a serious business". It's the More FM sucess story in the early days from his associates with Radio Windy in Wellington to the sale to CanWest in 1998 or whatever it was.
You should definately have a read if yours has it! I can see why they were sucessful compared to others with high ratings and poor sales.
The stories on Lyn Chung their accountant half way through was THEE most funniest things I've read in years. I had tears from splitting myself laughing over it and had to share out loud with non radio fans who were almost in tears aswell.
Anyway it's a great read for those who've been in the industry long enough to appreciate stories of commercial go getters like him, Doug Gold that is.

So, say I was to say I had worked out a way to 'timeshift' my radio
station... And was tempted to have an additional shoutcast stream at
-13 hours to current time (so it is in gmt...) Would APRA and RIANZ
frown upon something like that? Or would it be covered in my current
licences?
Its the same music that went to air 12 hours ago on my FM and Internet
stream, but is playing out over the net again 12 hours later (if I go
ahead with it).
It's still an idea at the moment, not sure wether to proceed with it
or not. Currently its just a test going no further than my computer
room. It means a stream would be available for GMT which is actually
playing the correct hour (ie: NZ 5am hour playing at 5am hour gmt)
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Grant
