I also just updated the original post with both links. The goo.gl one is simply to help some basic analytics of where traffic is coming from, etc.. nothing more than that.

I have to ask what is that link to. It downloaded some sort of file onto my system and then it was flagged by my virus software that it was bad. I do not recognize the file it downloaded, so I will not open it until you clarify what it is.
It comes from Shoutcast, it's a .pls file. I have already posted about it just above your post for some reason some A/V programs think it's a virus.

Anyone had a chance to listen to the stream yet? Suggestions on music to be added? Dj's wanting to be on the air? Anything?
Still looking for advertisers so we can build funds to get better equipment and expand!
goo.gl/cDV8ni will take you to the direct source to stream the channel. It's from Shoutcast.com -- I've had one person say that Bit Defender said it was a trojan, please feel free to visit Shoutcast.com by yourself and search for "Spaced Out Radio" and you can stream directly from there, or download the .pls stream file.

Also I have updated the first post to show the link to our Shoutcast.com link. Please click and listen!
If you're a DJ interested in joining us, please send me a PM with some information about yourself and what kind of content you might be interested in delivering and I'll talk with you about opening a spot!
I would definitely love to have some tech talk/interviews and such from members of the Bitcoin community! (Yes, if you're a DJ and you're sponsored in someway by someone you can throw out their names during your session. Just don't become overbearing with promotions.)
Likewise, if you'd like to advertise on our station, please let me know and I'd be happy to negotiate a price for advertisement placements!

So, I've setup a spot in my garage, have put up insulation and some not the best insulator, but at least it helps with a smaller area of keeping heat in as it gets very cold this time of year. People wanted some updates, so here is the current setup so far for my station.
It's nothing spectacular but it's a start to the final work area.
Once I clean it up some more, I have a nice large area rug that will be placed in there as well for local bands to play, but as of currently it is capable of sitting two people in there very comfortably!
It may not seem like a lot, but I've had to run power, network cable, insulate the garage and setup a small work area to keep warm in. The left window you see, is where I would put the antenna mast as there is trees covering around and my antenna would pop up just above those tall trees, so would be very hard to find/catch the antenna.

I think if we can get the server paid for, for a year ~$600 in BTC that would definitely get us some traction. Though, I'd still like to broadcast over the FM to those who don't have the ability to listen via the internet.
Please everyone, I need your help, online radio needs you help, Bitcoin needs your help, those who DJ would appreciate the help since they will be allowed to DJ. It's a win-win all over the board!

That is a good company I know of that has a nice $25/mo plan with PLENTY to offer. If someone would be willing to pick this up, I'd get it started as soon as it's operational and be sure to advertise for you too.

Does that make sense? About bridging the gap of allowing streaming and FM at the same time with the same content?
I would need a server to do online streaming, which getting that can cost a lot of money going through a traditional provider, though, if I get a server that I can install say CentOS on, I could simply install my own streaming service for the price of a VPS or a dedicated system. So, that's why I put in there a dedicated server that provided enough bandwidth.
If someone is willing to chip in on a VPS with enough bandwidth and at least a few GB of memory I could at least get the streaming up and running and always expand on the FM as I gain an audience.

You can also help up out by joining in on the Reddit conversation to gain interest outside of Bitcointalk here: https://redd.it/3uxl48
Even if you cannot help financially, help spread the information and let's get this rolling! I'd love to get us on the airwaves and online.
I have seen the post recommendation in a prior post and I have not seen an answer, so I will rephrase; Why are you not trying to stream online to boast this up? I understand what you are trying to do, but you have to realize that the FM Radio is dying. I personally have not listened to FM radio in over 3 years, since I got a Bluetooth device for my car and there are many others like me. Try what is working now, streaming, and do not try to reinvent the wheel. Even if you cannot help financially, help spread the information and let's get this rolling!

I would highly disagree with you about radio being dead. Especially in the format I plan on doing it in. It allows you to listen to it on a FM radio along with that as well letting that same transmission be online as well. It's covering both aspects with the same material.
Here's just one link about radio (FM) that shows you that radio is not dead and is doing quite well. http://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2015/08/13/no-radio-isnt-dead-in-fact-its-doing-better-than-ever/
I think the problem with current FM stations is this practice of having an FM only so when you're in a car listening to the radio it's free, no data plan is required and when you do get done driving you can just tune right it with a data plan or at work or home and continue to listen. I'm bridging the gap not re-inventing the wheel. There is something to say with re-innovation of a current technology adapted to the digital world and embracing the best of both worlds.
I know you can have bluetooth in your car, but not everyone drives a car with bluetooth already built into the car or their CD players don't accept input jacks and buying equipment to stream music over an FM band costs money, etc..
I guess my response is that I see it as not re-inventing the wheel but as I've said bringing the gap of FM and Online broadcasting together.
Thanks for your input!

No company is interested in helping out? You'd definitely be advertised and knowing that tech is in Detroit and having a way to spend Bitcoin is possible I thought by now I'd have some takers on this.
Is the amount too much, should I go for one item at a time?
You guys let me know, I need feedback at the very least. Just trying to make this all happen and be successful doing it.

Could really use the help from members of the community on this project. Please also know I want to hear your thoughts and feedback about what it is exactly that we want to do with this. I have MY own ideas from what I've taken in from talking to other people, but I most certainly would like to know your thoughts whether or not you donate.
Let's talk about this!

If 1,100 people donated 0.005 BTC to this, we could order the dedicated server along with the FM transmitter!
