How r u gonna pay ur costs?
if the ppl u're targetin make up a small % of the mtl population, no1 would wanna advertize or do anythin to help u cover up those costs....
i dunno wot costs there are, but am sure there are some.....n they're gonna have to be paid....n i dont think u'd wanna pay from ur own pockets......

i dunno....but good luck anyway

oooh! this one looks good!

Its like, $2500 tho

Still, if we all pool our money together, we can all chip in and buy something (maybe not that $$$).

As for advertisers, I'm sure we can approach places like Moog Audio, or record stores or clubs for advertising. Charge em a little bit (since we're a small radio station) to make little announcements etc...

I can perhaps help you guys out with some of the electronical stuff, although I'm no expert, but I'm quite good at researching various subjects. Although, I am more than experienced in computers (any area) so perhaps I can lend you all a hand in that. Also, I'm pretty up-to-date in wireless technology (not just computers) so that's something else. One thing, however, is that I live in the West Island, so setting this up downtown will suck (for me, anyways).

If you guys plan to do this the legal way, get ready to shell out a lot of cash. I suggest you start underground to give it that warm, fuzzy feeling of a non-commercial station that everyone will love and tune into because it's illegal.

well, someone said we're allowed up to 50kw legally...as being an "informal" radio station...so lets aim for that.

I'm in the west too (well, Ville St. Laurent), so someone will have to volunteer their place as the boradcast house.

I can try and talk to the VP's of OP Canada see if they wanna sponsor something this, but would have to get some thing on our end worked out first. I would ask my dads best customer, but he wants results before anything happens (so his off the list). Also talk to the ppl at Fornarina in Montreal. I wonder if 4DJ's would sponsor us. Got to try the beverage companies also.

Wonder if we can get rights from ETN, Proton Radio and DI.FM (if we go the legal way to rebroadcast their stuff)
