So, most of you who know me, by now know that I am a total music freak. I know that a lot of ATSers use ATS for the friendship of other members,
connections elsewhere and the topical banter that keeps us well "ATS". I also know that ATS tends to enjoy various favorites and such to the
like.
My suggestion is, we have our podcasts, and we of course have our fine "voices of ATS", such as Dave Rabbit, but what if we took ATS just a little
bit further into the realms of internet adversity? I'd like to propose the possability of a dedicated server be assigned in the future to the idea of
an ATS Radio. Now, do not get me wrong here, I am not expecting this to be a simple thing, I'd like to also suggest a paid subscription be required
for this service, either in the form of ATS points or (preferably) in the form of a small fee, in order to pay for the legal rights to play music on
the station.
In addition, we can also host live ATS Mixes and such right on the radio. Additional call in shows, and the similar. I understand this would take
quite a lot of money, I have run an online radio before, and I understand the issues that do arise, but I would like input from members and staff
alike on how well this idea works for you, and if there would be any changes involved.
Please remember, I have made this thread out of pure speculation and in no way am pressuring ATS into the thought of the idea right now other than
discussion.
ATS members, would you be willing to post a small fee to listen to music on ATS? Would you be willing to do so for live ATS, and BTS Mixes? Discuss
please.
