Your audience will not only be tune into your station through their desktop computer, but through all of their other devices as well which is commonplace today. This includes their tablets, phones or even televisions. Your audience will be able to connect to your station via a number of media players including RealPlayer, iTunes, Windows Media Player or even iTunes. While primarily used for audio streaming purposes, SHOUTcast can also be used for video streaming as well.

How Do I Promote My SHOUTcast Radio Station?

Aside from the easy experience you'll have launching your radio station, a main advantage of choosing SHOUTcast is the promotion that your station will receive. Within minutes of starting your station, you will be listed on the SHOUTcast.com site. SHOUTcast visitors will be able to search and find your station on their site ultimately helping you improve your listener numbers. SHOUTcast.com lists radio stations in over 20 categories. Even if you have a niche station, you will find an audience of listeners! Are you planning on generating revenue through ads played on your station? The more listeners you have, the more ad revenue you'll be able to receive!

You may also want to consider starting a web site to specifically promote your station. The more unique content you have on your site, the more likely your audience will find you through free search engine traffic. You shouldn't have any problems generating unique content about your station. Just talk about your station! Add content including your station's schedule and DJ biographies. Most importantly though, you can have a link to launch your radio station right from your station's website.
