so unless you gots a lotta money or if people accept perks as currency it my be hard to do

Most of the people who made these songs are dead, and I doubt anyone bought them since then. In fact, one of the most popular big band names of the time, an Air Corps favorite (Though his name escapes me at the moment) was killed by a Lancaster's UBER cookie during the war. I dont think we'll be paying royalties.

well on my stupid squeaker opinion, it should have music playing and after every song or 2, announce who landed kills for what squad.

Also, if you gonna make it live, put it on like satalite radio.

That would require a Radio DJ for the duration of the day, and dont think it would be good idea.

You don't need Sat Radio if its streaming on the net, it can be accessed anywhere, any time, in a stream format.

Meaning if your on dialup or even in space you can still get a stream live.

Well that is a kink in the plan, only bands that have not agreed or refused the law can be played freely on the air, but its according to Bandwith used, for example 50 gigs you will pay 12 dollars per month.

Has anyone looked into "Shoutcast" as a starting point for this.......?

No put it on sirius satalite radio, and just put like a list of songs for the day or have like a 1 hour show where they play music, discuss tactics, and announce who lands kills and what not.

I think it's a neat idea. Here is a link to one I use for Flight Simulator X called Sky Blue Radio.

http://www.skyblueradio.com/index.php

Once started, you tune a Com radio to 123.45 and the radio plays in game. You can also just play it without the game running. It's free.

An excellent idea. Maybe we can get an interview with SkyRock and he can name all the people he owns...

That would take an entire day just to list all the number guys in order.

no no adonai, like when they announce them between 2 or 3 songs 1 or 2 hours of the day when some1 themself is there, they announce who lands kills during those 1 or 2 hours. Not for the whole day. Then everyone has a chance to land kills, but they need to change the time up so ppl dont try to land kills during that time. It would be cool like if some staff members did that like from the game. And when announcements came out, it would be announced on the radio. I think Sirius Satalite radio is cheaper to use for stations than regular satalite radio. (from what i heard.)

Sirus is Holy expensive compared to running shoutcast.

Mister Fork · « **Reply #58 on:** February 25, 2008, 09:43:44 AM »

I would have to agree that the SHOUTCAST method would be the most cost effective (apart from being free).

i think it is a kool idea! i listen to xm radio 40,s on 4 during the summer after d-day all the time,they do the original broadcast from nbc radio for days, the music and news as it comes in. check it out sometime.
would it be possible to hear on say channel 225, or something in the game, running a loop of two or three hours rebroadcast from the live show for that day?
