Global Talk Radio was launched in 2004 with the sole purpose of
providing the very best station for
talk show hosts, guests and listeners to
come together. With several new and exclusive shows already in production, supplemented by informative and inspirational material from
other providers, we are on our way to becoming the world's fastest growing source of live,
streaming and archived quality
radio programming. And now, you can become part of
the fastest-growing
internet talk radio station, too!
Advantages of hosting your own show:
-
You will
become an instant STAR!
-
You will establish your credibility and expertise.
-
You will gain international exposure and publicity.
-
You will earn heightened respect and prestige among your
peers.
-
Reach a highly-targeted audience that is interested in
what you have to offer.
-
You may be
able to sell advertising and generate revenue for your show.
-
Your celebrity status will open doors to new opportunities,
both personally and professionally.
-
And most of all...
it's fun!
You can join the growing world of
talk radio by
hosting your very own show online.
Internet talk radio is the fastest
growing outlet for new
talk shows, and is quickly becoming a driving force
behind syndicated programming on conventional sources (AM & FM) and for newer
technologies (Satellite & Cable).
What we do for you:
(benefits vary by hosting package)
-
Professionally engineer,
produce, record and store your show
-
Make your archived shows
available for on-demand streaming
-
Mix in
your royalty-free bumper music, as appropriate
-
Configure your show's web
page with your bio and links to your
website or email
-
Promote your show to other
listeners throughout our station and the internet
No experience is necessary, as we provide all
the technical support necessary to produce, broadcast and archive your show. An
engineer will assist you in preparing bumper music and connecting with guests
and listener call-ins, and your program will be recorded and stored in a
universal format for archiving and rebroadcast. For your convenience, all shows
are hosted by telephone from the comfort of your home or office.
How it
works:
-
At show
time,
you will dial into the station's recording center
-
If you
have guests or co-hosts, they will call in at the same time
-
An
engineer will perform a "sound check" and get you started
-
Your
program will be broadcast live and recorded for archival
purposes
-
Our
engineers will check the archive for any critical sound
quality issues
-
Bumper
music will be mixed into the beginning and end of the
recording
-
Within a
couple days, your show will be posted and available for
on-demand streaming
-
You
supply a summary ("blurb") for each show, which feeds
keywords into search engines

Types of Hosting Arrangements
There
are two types of hosting arrangements:
PROFESSIONAL and STANDARD. Which one is best for you?
Here are some pointers:
PROFESSIONAL:
This package is ideally suited for businesses and
professionals who wish to have a regular day and time of
the week reserved for their show (which helps greatly in
scheduling guests), who desire to have control over
the advertisements associated with their show and who
want their archives available for MP3 download.
Here are a couple examples of well-done "professional"
programs:
Calling All Authors
and
Indie Business Radio.
STANDARD:
This package
is perfect for the home-based business or any individual
interested in social networking. The host is not
committed to producing a weekly show, and in fact, shows
are only produced when enough points have been
accumulated (either by attracting listeners to your
archives or by online donations). Otherwise, this
package has all the "bells and whistles" of the
traditional package, including the ability to accept
listener calls. Here are a couple examples of
well-done "standard" programs:
Love Safety Net
and
Meet The Sales Experts.

PLEASE NOTE: Hosting a show is not right for everyone. Global Talk
Radio invests a great deal of time, money and expertise in every show we
produce, and we expect our hosts to be similarly committed. If you have a
show concept for a targeted internet audience, are desirous of working together
with us to develop and promote the show,
then please complete the following short application for immediate
consideration.
