Backbone Hosting Suite

You can broadcast to the world from your own web site for as little as $500 per month. There are several companies that offer various streaming services, but most severely limit how you can present your station. And typically, they are very complicated to configure. But worse, some services impose their ads over your station, or even charge their listeners to subscribe to their radio listening service...and your content.

Backbone Hosting Suite is different.
This is an integrated service that gives you the power to serve your listeners without the limitations on you and your audience. All you need to do is put a link on your own web page, and your listeners simply click to tune in. Simple and easy. We can even provide you a web template that displays your schedules, embeds your station, etc.

  • No software to buy.
    We supply you with a licensed copy of Backbone Radio Pro, the intuitive "jock friendly" automation system that runs on your Mac and let's you go Live whenever you want.
  • All you need is a Mac and a mic. We take care of everything else.
    We provide you with your broadcast transmitter/server, which we configure for you. This also stores all your recorded content, playlists and schedules. We handle your listener connections and provide your bandwidth to the Internet.
  • The only connection you need is a DSL...from anywhere.
    We provide you with high bandwidth access to the Internet on fiber optic trunks. That means you can control your station, and broadcast Live, from any location you can get DSL or cable modem access: your church, the stadium or the award ceremonies.
  • See who's listening; real time demographics.
    We provide you with all the reporting you need to determine your demographics, metrics and other requirements. Find out how many people are listening to what programs or songs, when, from where, and for how long. Make your own reports and use them for ad sales, promotion and program development.
