Vestaradio, create your web radio

Start a hobby radio station

Turn your passion into a station from home, without a big budget or professional gear.

Radio, at last within everyone's reach

Radio used to be the preserve of a few. With a web radio you can build your music schedules, present your own live shows and gather your first listeners. A web radio streams over the internet, so it needs no licence from Arcom (the French broadcasting regulator), unlike FM. You can be on air within days, from your own computer, and grow the project at your own pace.

Unlike FM, a web radio does not go before the regulator. You can be on air within days.

A computer and a microphone

No studio, no control room. A good connection, a USB microphone, a pair of headphones, and you are set.

A plan that grows with you

Start at 27 €/month, then add live broadcasting, a website or an app when your audience asks for it.

How to start your hobby radio

Four straightforward steps, from the idea to going on air.

1

Define your concept

Choose your musical style, the tone of your shows and who you are talking to. A clear concept helps turn listeners into regulars. Think too about a name and a logo that stick in the mind.

2

Declare the music (SACEM & SPRE)

Even as an amateur, playing music means paying the rights holders:

  • The SACEM for authors' rights. There is a web radio package for individuals, starting at around 80 € excluding VAT per year per channel.
  • The SPRE for neighbouring rights on commercial recordings.
3

Keep the kit light

To start, the basics are enough:

  • A good internet connection
  • A quality USB microphone and a pair of headphones
  • A computer and, later on, a small mixing desk

See our radio equipment.

4

Choose your plan & get going

Vestaradio hosting streams your station around the clock and gives you the manager to schedule your playlists and your shows. You can add the live broadcasting software, a radio website and jingles whenever you want.

SACEM and SPRE rates are given as a guide: they vary with your project. Check the current amounts with the organisations themselves.
