I want to start a radio station what is the best way to learn how?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/radio

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • AzuraCast

    A self-hosted web radio management suite, including turnkey installer tools for the full radio software stack and a modern, easy-to-use web app to manage your stations.

  • Azuracast. Not quite as powerful but much easier to run. Also Linux, although you can tinker to get it running under Windows. It would run well in a cloud host like Linode or Digital Ocean, which might mean you don’t need a relay service like Alon depending on how many listeners you have. You can also host it at home of course.

  • obs-studio

    OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording

  • A few other pieces of software that might help: BUTT - a Shoutcast streaming app for Windows (to get your sound to a Shoutcast relay). OBS to stream (warning - if you use copywritten music and try to stream on YouTube or Twitch, you’ll get a copywrite strike quickly). Voicemeeter Banana which helps me connect all this together (plus send sound to my low power FM transmitter).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
