紐約中文电台 online Chinese radio

I just tried it on the web. Their site is quite slow. And, boy, do they have tons of ads!

I also tried it on my iphone, and the radio part does not work on the iphone. That is because it requires a media player such as Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

By the way, it is quite easy technically to start and run an online radio station. Just about anyone can do it.

May be you can start one! You don't have to have a day of programming to start... 1 or 2 hours at a regular time should be sufficient.

Good way to earn advertisement fees, on the radio and on your web site.

Or, if you don't want to go it alone, franchise it with them, with you providing a 1 hour program from Boston. Perhaps focus on stocks and real estate.

Or, instead of starting an online radio station, you can start small and do a podcast once every week, and then grow into an online radio.

If you are interested, let me know and we can talk in detail about what is involved technically.

Their senior staff is an experienced media guy, I am surprised that Philadelphia has enough Chinese population to support a radio station, it seems the online ad split is between NY and Philadelphia while the audio ad are mostly Philadelphia. Let's talk to c if we can do a Boston/Seattle podcast.
