1. Streaming Servers
We have a customised VPS Server that houses all of the shows and automates them being played out. This is quite an expense every month.
Recurring monthly, the cost comes from the station’s account and is the the stream of shows from us to you.
2. Bandwidth Server
The Bandwidth Server takes the strain off the Streaming Server. We use a system in Yorkshire to relay the broadcast from the Streaming Server to the individual receiver. So, there is a slight lag. A slight delay of a fraction of seconds between it being played on the broadcast server and you picking it up. This is a Saas Service, paid monthly from the Station’s accounts.
3. The 'Listen Again'
This is the smallest cost of the lot of them. We use Mixcloud for this. Mixcloud Pro costs around £10 a month – we pay monthly and this comes out of the station’s accounts, as funded by our sponsors and the admin.
4. Radio Licenses
This is the meat of the costs. We bought the licenses (we, the admin) to last until 2021. We would be grateful to anyone who could contribute to the upkeep of the station so that we can continue broadcasting.
We are licensed by PRS and PPL – these two licenses are the biggest outlay for the station.
