I'll need DJs and curators to help me make programming blocks. If you have music you'd like to share or a podcast then you are needed! Check the community often; within the next few days I'll make a post on how you can help contribute.

Edit: Given the community we're in, I feel like it's my duty to mention that unless you so happen to live in my neck of the woods, this will be an internet-only station for the vast majority of listeners. The OTA component will come later next year, and will be extremely low power to avoid expensive licensing fees (the digital broadcast license is expensive enough as-is).

Not as exciting—I know—but I'm still hoping that some of you will still check it out when I launch in Q3 this year.

Woah, that sounds awesome. I'd definitely be interested in helping out with that.

The website for the station is up! Here's how you can contribute:

Hmm, the website seems to be down.

It shouldn't be. Try clearing your DNS cache. The website went up just a couple of days ago so maybe your DNS server hasn't updated its records yet.

Edit: There's also a post about it in the community for the station: !radiolemmy@lemm.ee

Thanks for your interest! This is actually my second attempt at a radio station for Lemmy.

The first go around did okay but the schedule was fairly empty most days. I did have a couple of dedicated DJs who would put on some amazing live shows, but for most of the day the station was just playing random music and the listener count would plummet as such.

This time I have a game plan. Taking my time to make sure I don't launch until I have a full schedule filled out.

If you know anybody who wants to build a programming block or do a live show, please send them my way! There will be plenty of timeslots available, from 30 minutes in length up to 6 hours. You can make a prerecorded show, or do it live. Music or talk. Whatever you prefer.
