Adding new stations

[scloughley]

Surely you are not serious with advice for us to "contact the station you wish to add and ask them to contact FlyCast"?

I want to add BBC Radio 4, for example. Who would you propose I write to at the BBC? And even if I do contact them, what are the chances (other than close-to-zero) that they would bother with me since I am not in their home market in the UK (I live here in good ol' USA)?

We live in consumer-led markets, none more so than in media. The consumer - ie your user base - needs to be able to add its own stations, not the content provider. Just like with radio podcasting via Podgrabber or iTunes. Is this not obvious??

So...long intro....but other than your current recommendation what other processes can you suggest for adding stations? I use Moodio which allows its users to add almost any station, but I prefer FlyCast for your superior design (especially the recording and caching ideas, which are truly fantastic).

Final second question. If I travel overseas, any reason to believe that FlyCast will no longer work either via GSM or via Wi-Fi (of course assuming my phone plan supports overseas use, which it does...I use T-Mobile and my plan allows me to roam everywhere and to connect with almost any WiFi hotspot).

Thanks

Hi,

FlyCast is a contractual aggregator. We do not URL re-direct, like other non-contractual aggregators. We have been engaged in the past with the BBC and have some of their content now in the Genres/Talk and Channels/BBC sections. We are not engaged with them for additional content. We do not add new stations to the guide without contractual agreement by the content provider.

FlyCast will work internationally, with a proper data connection.

How do we get international stations.

I have talk radio and only BBC is listed. I'm looking for stations out of Canada and France.
