We handle all call-ins through our US toll free 888 numbers and our direct station call-in lines. These lines are for the listener to interact with the broadcaster and guests during live or pre taped broadcasts. Station 1 and Station 2 have multiple call-in lines, from multiple carriers, for maximum clarity and fluidity. These 888 numbers hunt between these 6 distinct analog/digital lines per station for an open line. Callers can even call in on our Skype phone line to interact, also at no charge.

We are a fully reporting corporation and submit royalty payments to the music performance agencies! We can play music during your live broadcasts. However, for your protection, we will edit all music out of your broadcasts (and replace them with an audio liner). We do this before the broadcast is converted into a podcast, uploaded into syndication and made available for download by the listening audience. If you are doing interviews with musicians and bands, you may play longer music segments, assuming you have their okay!
We will create free professional audio bumpers for your program, such as your intro, outro, commercial liners and one commercial for your talk show program! All we really need is ad copy (text for the audio tracks). We will then tape a voice, usually ours, or yours, or someone else you have in mind, via phone or Skype, then embed selected music in the audio track, music you send us (that you have derivative rights to use) or music you select from our large database. We will then send you the finished product! This process usually takes about 24 hours!
Broadcasters can request the rebroadcast of prior taped shows aired on other networks simply by emailing their files to our attention, or by providing a URL link to their program page, which should contain a download link of the podcast! Network programming consists mostly of live engineered programs. However, we also re-stream programming, handle simulcasts, syndicate podcasts and air programming delivered to us electronically. Programs files that are delivered to the network can be sent to us in any bit rate or format.
Prominent display of donation buttons and payment links! Many of our hosts have paypal donation buttons and links displayed on their most highly visible content creations. You can post them within any piece of content you create, including each podcast episode and throughout your program page. We also post your donation button, and/or payment link(s), on the top of our home page during your live broadcasts. (High Visibility of Donations Links!)
We pay ALL long distance charges. We call your co-hosts and guests on our dime no matter where in the world they reside! Therefore, Hosts, and guests, can choose to use computers or phones with analog or digital signals. We can go from computer to computer, or computer to phone, mixing all signals in real time as necessary, using our custom systems.
Live talk show broadcasts are edited, coded, uploaded, archived, metatagged, and provided all the necessary text and field data for automatic syndication to other radio network portals within 24 hours after airing live on station 1 or station 2 network streams. Live broadcasts are recorded and archived at 44,100 Hz, at 128k bps, using joint stereo sound settings in mp3 format. Live talk show broadcasts are also taped in loss less wav format at 1411k. Ultimately, all programs are taped in two formats!
When necessary, broadcasters can prerecord shows during times and days that are different from their regularly scheduled broadcasting time slot, at no charge. Although this does require an extra hour of studio time (one to prerecord and another to broadcast) instead of just the normal one hour we do not charge a fee for this service. This allows the hosts and guests the freedom and flexibility to tape their broadcasts during more convenient times. Guests living in other times zones, especially guests living oversees, greatly enjoy this benefit!
We update and edit live broadcasts regularly for any sound problems, mistakes, requested verbal changes, timing issues, dynamic levels, and other mistakes that may happen from time-to-time during live broadcasts, before they become available for download as an archive file and before they are syndicated to other radio portals! Free of charge! We also, upon request, edit delivered files. Delivered files (delivered broadcasts) that were originally taped by other radio networks, almost always include advertisements, bumpers, liners and station promos that are undesirable.
Broadcasters can be heard during their live broadcasts on BBS Radio's customized Android smart phone app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bbs.radioapp&hl=en) and Apple smart phone app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bbs-radio/id864799909).
