Welcome to Radio-Talk.net!

Radio-Talk.net is a place to go and discuss, without fear of censorship and retribution, the business that we all know and love.

Radio-Talk.net is not corporately owned and does not accept corporate advertisers so, you don't have to worry that we will feel the urge to steer your conversations in one way or another so as to satisfy our corporate sponsors. We also do not condone "know it alls" who seek only to elevate their own status and to stroke their own egos by belittling others who are not quite as knowledgeable but who would like to learn and come here to ask questions.

You Are Welcome Here! 
Radio-Talk.net is here for you to learn from and to enjoy as well as to share your own knowledge with others.

Radio-Talk.net Is A Friendly Forum! 
We realize that our industry is indeed ego driven. But, other sites allow some of the most conceited and egotistical among us to set the pace and "attitude" of the conversations and this seems to almost always end-up with those overly inflated egomaniacs "shouting down" anyone who would dare even attempt presenting an opposing view. We will not condone that here. Everyone will be equal. (For this reason, most of the true egomaniacs will probably never migrate here and this will make Radio-Talk.net a friendlier site, indeed!)

Incredible Knowledge And Support From Very Friendly People! 
Radio-Talk.net, for the past four years, has amassed an incredible membership that includes some of the most brilliant leader of the broadcast industry! All we need to set this huge source of knowledge and information in motion is enough conversation to keep everyone returning on a regular basis. Please, when you come to Radio-Talk.net, don't just look and say "Well, it's all quiet and there's nothing going on." and then leave. POST SOMETHING!!! Help us get things started so that we can be what you, and everyone else is looking for!

Professional Attitude! 
Most importantly, let's all try to get along! Yes, some of our newer members will have formed some opinions that are far from correct but, that's all part of learning about our business, right? Instead of coming out with endless derision, how about gently explaining how and why the person is wrong while explaining the reasoning behind your thinking? Let's all plan to and strive for a pleasant and enjoyable - yet educational - experience as we learn and share our knowledge of a great industry that we all know and love!

xxWKLF Clanton silenced by today's tornado

The Birmingham News has a photo of the WKLF radio tower in Clanton that was destroyed by this morning's tornado in Chilton County.

It appears there were few if any injuries from this tornado, which struck Maplesville as well as Clanton.  People were not so lucky around Birmingham, however, where scores of injuries and a few deaths came from a long track tornado that hit Oak Grove, Fultondale, Pinson, Center Point, Clay, Chalkville and Trussville.  I hope everyone here made it through these terrible storms without issue.

It's interesting to note that WKLF's license has been deleted for a while, maybe years, but they've remained on the air AND gotten an FM translator during this time.  It took an act of nature to finally do what the FCC couldn't.

xxAnother use for Part 15

January 18, 2012, 08:59:34 PM by FOSTER | Views: 47 | Comments: 4

While looking at old posts on another web site, I saw a post by Radio Brandy suggesting broadcasting talk radio programs on Part 15 when they are preempted on the local station by sporting events. I think that is a great idea, but how can you get the talk radio feed? I have sometimes heard preempted talk radio programs by listening to skip from out of my area, but the audio quality is poor. Radio Brandy talked about making an arrangement with the preemting local station, but I doubt that is feasible.

xxA question of web hosting.

During the night of January 14th, for whatever reason, the hosting company that hosts (hosted) monsterfm.com and our local radio station's website somehow managed to "accidentally" delete the entire sites (both of them) as well as all of our email accounts. They were nice enough to immediately set new hosting accounts (both completely empty).

This is the third time this has happened in as many years so...

Would anyone like to suggest a reliable hosting company that does not do the "annual accidental deletions" or, would it be the general consensus that we'd be better off building a web server at our offices (the connection will withstand it) or leasing another server for hosting purposes?

Obviously, I would like to have something in place by Monday (tomorrow) morning.
