The Live365 Broadcasters Facebook Group: A Community for Radio Knowledge & Support

The Live365 Broadcasters Facebook Group is an excellent resource for both new and experienced broadcasters looking to engage with the Live365 Broadcaster community. With over 2,900 members, this group provides a wealth of knowledge, shared experiences, and helpful discussions about the world of radio broadcasting.

Who is it for

Starting with a new platform can be overwhelming, but having access to a community of veteran broadcasters can make the learning process much smoother. This group serves as an invaluable space for current and prospective Live365 Broadcasters to connect with others who have hands-on experience with the platform. However, it's important to note that while this group is a great place to ask for insights and troubleshooting tips, it is not an official support channel for Live365. Instead, it is a space for exchanging general knowledge about broadcasting and tips that may pertain specifically to Live365 software.

Members of the group come from all areas of radio—some have only worked in internet radio, while others have FM experiences. This diversity offers a broad range of perspectives on topics such as station management, industry trends, and technical know-how. A quick search within the group might reveal that your question has already been answered in a previous discussion, but if not, posting your inquiry can lead to valuable insights from experienced broadcasters.

Benefits of joining

The Broadcasters group offers countless benefits. The depth of radio knowledge shared within this community is immense. Some key topics frequently discussed include:

  • Tips for using the Live365 software
  • Station marketing advice 
  • Industry trends and insights
  • Equipment recommendations

For example, a recent question involved a broadcaster asking about automation software experiences:

"Anyone use PlayoutONE with Live365? Is it even compatible?"

Another member responded:

"As long as you're sending artist-title data and the required ad trigger data, any automation software will work with Live365 in Live mode. I use 'PlayIt Live,' and it works wonderfully."

Conversations like these provide useful, real-world insights that can help broadcasters optimize their setups.

Even if you prefer to observe rather than actively participate, simply browsing the discussions can be highly educational. The group is a resource for our broadcasters to share knowledge as well as build valuable connections within the radio broadcasting community. While direct station promotion is not allowed, networking and collaborations—such as joint shows or cross-station promotions—are encouraged.

With an active and passionate group of broadcasters, there is no better place to share knowledge, ask questions, and exchange ideas about Live365 and radio broadcasting in general.
