How easy is to have an internet radio show? Does it mean that you only need a license and you are good to go? In my opinion, the only thing that you can be worried about are the internet crashes.

You have to pay licensing fees for any content you don't own. There are services that will provide the system and pay licensing fees for you, if you're interested in that.

I don't think the FCC would be heavily involved, if at all, with something like this. There is a lot of competition out there though, you'll want to find a niche.

You don't have to worry about the FCC, because the stream isn't broadcast on a radio frequency. It's BMI and ASCAP that you need to work with. They're organizations that collect licensing fees on behalf of artists, and they pay royalties for each of their songs played. Performance rights organizations like BMI and ASCAP get a healthy cut, so naturally, they're pretty aggressive in policing their members' rights.

I had no idea that there isn't any need for a radio frequency. It seems that finding a niche is what's important since it looks like internet radio is something worth trying out.
