Why aren't there any Trance Radio Stations here in MTL. We need something like ID&T radio. That would definatly be sweet. We should start our own.

Bub I don't only listen to trance. I mean a station that plays Electronic music in general. I use trance as a general term. We need one here.

Well mainly because CRTC (I think thats the correct abbreviation), states that all radio station must play 40% of domestic content... Good luck finding Canadian trance/house to play on radio...

imagine a US company, administrated by a canadian guy, delivering trance via a webradio server hosted in sweden. which laws apply ? ;)


anyway, good luck finding cheap bandwith.. we're talking about terabytes here.

for example, here's some razernet.com stats;
One of ZinG's set lasted ~100 minutes and weighted approximately 100mo of upcoming transfer (128kpbs, 44hz, Stereo) This means 2go of total transfer for only 19 listeners.

An average of 20 listeners connected on a 24/7 radio during 30 days will suck up ~900go of transfer.

that's why di.fm isnt offering the 128kbps stream for free anymore.

I know a couple of radio stations that have EDM shows.

I won't post them until Krinker takes back that comment. It's disrespectful to tell ppl what to listen to. :D ;)
