RE-OPENING of RADIO KRISHNA CENTRALE BROADCASTING
(international covering) Exploiting the capacities of internet
radio broadcasting, to spread all around the world, we are
working to a very interesting project: recently some great firm
presented on the market a radio-set able to
receive,
besides the normal AM-FM
stations, also thousands of radio-stations broadcasting by
internet, using the home (or office, or any other) internet
connection, without need computer. The equipment is very
similar to a normal mini or midi audio system, but can
tune in also RKC's stations via internet.
Therefore, we are preparing to broadcast a broadband live
stream, near CD quality (128 Kbs - 44 KHz - Stereo), starting
with Italian language for real live (new) shows. Then, we
can talk about to open other language's streaming, too.
Since the price of these new audio systems is still little high
(200-250 $), we are working with some dealer to have a good
discount for our listeners, distributing them all around the
world.
Next time we will give you more details about the
project.
Thanks for your attention, have a nice vacation and enjoy with
TRKN, Hare Krishna !
