Internet radio station query

David. I might be interested if they promoted the Caravan, Camping and 4x4 industry but it looks like they are Motor sport people.

Yes that's what I was wondering, TerraFirma.
Esarby... have you listened at all? I wondered why they approached us, from the website it didn't give any indication of camping/caravan/camping etc.
Thanks for your responses so far,
Michelle

Hi Michelle, I think the average sales person would see your site as motoring orientated, which it is to a point, however motoring to the outback is vastly different to Motorsport. I think they are simply looking for vague similarities to market their business to.

Just fishing for advertising leads me thinks.

Michelle. Is the interest in ExplorOz to drag people away from this site. I am a avid V8 fan and would only watch it on T V or attend a race. It looks like they want to promote there own site, rather than promote E O. How many people would want to have Motor sport running in the background while surfing E. O.

Like you Tony, I use Tune In as well and has been great, when no other options are available, and I want to listen to something in particular, which is not very often, but I have that option.

My favourite during the footy season is ABC Grandstand on the internet, when I cannot get audio of a normal radio live broadcast.

I particularly like it when I can listen to the Knights flogging Parramatta :-)

I have no knowledge of that particular station, but I wouldn't discourage any legit corporate input to this site. After all, this is a business, bottom line, and I think management know how to run their business, and corporate support is important.

At the moment as I am typing this, for example, I can see a big Discover Auckland ad, which no doubt brings corporate dollars to management, but has no real relevance to the nitty gritty of explorOz. Just part of any business these days, particularly those conducted on a website.

BTW those wanting to come on board, would have also done their homework, and want to be part of someone elses success.

Thats just MHO.

Fred.

Thanks for your response Gone Bush. To answer your query, neither is the case. This isn't about advertiisng. I am just trying to find out who they are in the market.

Thanks, Michelle

Well there's a whole world of research out there for you David. Your black hole will soon fill with light. Overwhelming too.

I am just amazed by the whole internet radio thing.

I have 3 or 4 stations on my iPad that broadcast ONLY Beatles music. Yes, tragic I know, but being a teenager in the early 60's, they were a big influence.

Classical music stations stations from all over the world.

You should have an iPad next to you with Tune-In Radio on it while you are tweaking away at your various web projects.

Hey ...nothing tragic with that!
Actually, when we were in the states, the car radio was digital FM and I just loved being able to tune into my preferred style of music - there was top 40, rock classics, classical, country etc. That's even better than plugging in your ipod to the car, which I do when driving.
Oh well, think I've got enough feedback now on this issue.
Thanks all once again for your contributions to this topic.
