NworcsRadio is an Internet Broadcasting Pioneer

NworcsRadio is one of the leading providers of complete Internet broadcasting services. NworcsRadio has been in business since 2001, and we have created a “just like radio” experience for our radio station affiliates. With virtually unlimited bandwidth, our industrial-strength Internet broadcast solutions offer you the highest level of reliability, and are economically priced to meet your budget requirements.

We have a great deal to offer, and very satisfied customers.

Why broadcasters stream on the Internet

1. The most important reason is to reach your P1 listeners at the office. Since uneven terrain and buildings can interfere with radio reception, an on-line broadcast is the only way to reach people at work.  Statistics show that 85% of people that listen to radio on-line do so while they are at work.  If your competitor’s stream and you don't, those listeners will tune in to your competition.

2. Some stations are successful in significantly increasing their audience with their Internet broadcast, while others improve their ad sales or generate Non-Traditional Revenue because of Internet streaming.

3. And, streaming is one way to compete against satellite radio -- the new threat for terrestrial broadcasters.

Streaming is not very expensive. Most stations can stream their broadcast for a few hundred dollars a month, including digital rights payments. Many station managers are now realizing that it's hard not to get a 5:1 or 10:1 return on your streaming investment. Just keeping your P1 listeners from listening to your competitors may justify the cost.

AFTRA – The Real Story

Three years ago, radio stations en masse stopped streaming because of AFTRA. AFTRA is an association representing performing artists (singers, announcers, etc.) who are used by ad agencies in the creation of commercials. What everyone in the industry heard at that time was *$600* -- that somehow it was going to cost them $600 per ad that they ran if AFTRA was involved.

The real story is this: artists didn’t want to miss out on the “next big thing” and negotiated new contract terms with ad agencies for commercials that would be broadcast on the Internet. AFTRA has a structured fee schedule based on the size of the audience that will see an ad. An artist might earn $300 for a day's work for an ad to be broadcast to small or mid-markets, and could earn up to $600 for an ad to be broadcast to the major markets (NY, LA). The new AFTRA Internet provision allows the artist to earn the higher pay schedule if the ad is broadcast on the Internet. Radio stations are not in any way obligated to pay anything to anybody for running commercials that use AFTRA talent. The worst that could happen is that an ad agency might request that an ad not be streamed so they don't get charged the higher rates.

In any case, our ad replacement technology, which replaces the over-the-air ads with new ads, sidesteps the problem while creating new ad inventory and creating new NTR opportunities.

DIGITAL RIGHTS -- RIAA / SOUNDEXCHANGE

You've been paying performance rights to ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC all along – for the better part of a century, actually. So, really, not much is new. There has been a big flap over the RIAA / Sound Exchange / CARP / Digital Millennium Act, but in the end, it's just one more invoice.

Now, with the final resolution from the Copyright office and Congress, we all know the score. They get some payment, but the amount is not oppressive. 10,000 aggregate listener hours a month for a typical music station will generate a combined Digital Rights bill of about $160 a month total across the four organizations -- a talk/news/sports show will need to pay the minimums to all these organizations, which totals about $100/month. See our page on Digital Rights for more information. Nobody likes to pay, but these rates shouldn't chase you out of the business.

It's really a simple question -- is it worth a few hundred a month to reach out to your P1 listeners at work, rather than having them listen to your competitors?

We can help you with your reporting requirements to make compliance relatively painless.

YOUR LONG-TERM PARTNER

NworcsRadio has been in business since 2001. During that time we have developed every capability for an Internet Broadcast that is required by a radio station.  We can draw artist & title information from your automation system and display it on the player; we can create new ad inventory by replacing the over-the-air ad with a new one (also avoids AFTRA complications); and much, much, more. If you have any special requirements, please ask us – we probably have done it already for someone else.

If you have any questions, please ask us – we'd like to talk to you.

 

 

GETTING STARTED

It is simple to get started. All you need is a computer with a windows operating system, remote access software like PC Anywhere on the machine, an antivirus program, and a reliable high-speed connection to the Internet. You would also need to create an access to the broadcast on your web site with a "listen live" button. We provide the instructions for installing the button with the proper address to point it to (it's very easy to set up). We remotely enable and manage the service by accessing your system. Once you are ready, our end takes less than 15 minutes to test the system and go live.

FOR BUSINESSES

Offer audio or video to employees & customers

·                    Training for employees or customers

·                    Sales material

·                    Product demonstrations

·                    Briefings by executives

·                    “live” testimonials

Why not just do it yourself?

·                    It is technically challenging -- you may not have the time or resources

·                    It can be expensive

o           You need to provide enough server capacity to handle peak loads

o           You need enough network bandwidth to accommodate the maximum number of users who might watch or listen at any given time

o           You need to be able to accurately predict what those peak loads will be

We make it simple

·                    Just send us your material, either in electronic form (ftp, email) or physical form (tapes, CD’s, DVD’s)

·                    We will encode it into digital form if it isn’t already, and load it onto our servers

·                    We give you a link to post on your web site (that part is very easy)

·                    When visitors click on that link they access your material from our servers using their Windows Media Player

 

You get all the benefits; we do all the heavy lifting

 

 

Our streaming service supports a virtually unlimited number of concurrent listeners so we can accommodate promotion or advertising that might attract hundreds or even thousands of listeners or viewers.

BLOCKING OR STREAMING CERTAIN CONTENT

Some broadcasters do not have the right to stream certain content such as professional sports games or syndicated shows. We have developed the capability to record a previous broadcast of your choosing, and stream that material in the time slot for the blocked material. For example, one station airs the audio for an NFL team on Sundays, which they must block out. We automatically record a wee-hours show, and stream that during the blocked-out period.

Conversely, we have stations that only wish to stream certain events, such as a game (for example, the station that broadcasts the Boardwalk Bullies hockey team is an ESPN affiliate, and cannot stream most of the content they carry, but they do stream Bullies games). We have arrangements so that the streaming turns on and off automatically according to a schedule that they provide to us.

RECORDING A LIVE BROADCAST

In addition, we can record a live event while it is being broadcast and streamed, so that it is also available later for on-demand listening. We have an automatic process that records the event while it is being streamed and then uploads it to our server afterward as a file. The file is then available for access from a link on your web site. Example: Let’s say you broadcast a college game live. With this feature, a recording of that game will be available on your web site after the live broadcast for anyone who wasn’t available at the original time.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

We have developed an entire technology suite that sets us apart from others -- among many other features, that technology includes “instant-on” for which we have recently been awarded a patent. There are some advantages to our proprietary solution, but we can also provide you with a Windows Media solution if you would prefer.

NworcsRadio offers a customized branded tuner for each of your stations, or a group tuner with all of your stations to select from. A “listen live” button on your website will link your listeners to your PLAYER.  Once a listener downloads the PLAYER from your website, they will get your station and only your station each and every time they click on the PLAYER.
