Finally ready to host your own online radio show? Well, 2009 is poised to be the year that social networking sensation Blogtalkradio becomes mainstream as more and more listeners flock to the Internet and talk assumes the top spot for terrestrial stations.3BAAS Media Group CEO Kevin Ross was asked to beta-test the site and it looks like some of his recommendations were actually used.
Today, January 5 is the official launch day of the new site at Blogtalkradio.com. Allowing anyone with a phone and a computer to be the next Rush Limbaugh, people from all over the world are able to listen, call in live, cyber-chat with the host and also hear the downloaded rebroadcast. 3BAAS has been doing shows for a year now and our clients have found it to be an extraordinary marketing tool.
And what's particularly unique is that you can do it for free. Now ideally, we would have like to have seen less content on the home pages. The old sight was sleeker and much easier to navigate. Overall, however, the site is still incredible and will only further solidify Blogtalkradio as the best online destination for great content and diverse opinions.
Particularly for African Americans and women, who continue to be marginalized in traditional syndicated radio despite the huge numbers wanting to work in the conservative leaning, predominantly white male industry.
