The #1 World-Wide Internet Talk Radio Network
Become a BBS Host

Please be aware - The quality of the broadcasts will be greatly determined by the quality of your telephone, your telephone line, connectivity and clarity of the telephone service you use, your ability not to over-modulate in a microphone, if you're on a cell phone or land-line, etc. Further, those hosts that use their own recording equipment degrade the quality of our live output streams in order to get optimal levels on their side of the connection. We can work miracles with our equipment, but can only do so much with a poor incoming signal.
