Announcing FPS Radio

What started out as a lonely 32 slot ETL only weekly shoutcast (ETL Radio) has outgrown the confides of a single league broadcast & needs to run as it's own entity in order to achieve it's full potential.


ETL Radio is now FPS Radio & is currently running a 100 slot shoutcast with the potential to run up to 500 slots, all sponsored by Primary Target. This is all due to the hard work & dedication of ETL's own Rocky & the suprising talent of our new shoutcaster, ETL's own Mistaken. Great work guys.

Plans are in the works to expand into several leagues & cover several games. As a result the FPS-Radio guys are in search of new talent & help.

Sweet, ET has badly been missing an english speaking shoutcaster for some time. Mistaken is pretty decent too... american voices are just cool. :(

All those radio stations. Honestly I do not think that it will survive long. Sorry, but it just does not have what it takes. I mean without payed Shoutcasters you will reach nothing at these times. There are a way better Radios outside which provide better music, and in the language of each listener. In my opinion you should first of all kick out the DJ function, you will never get more than 10 listeners. I have experienced this myself. I know how hard it is to get a radio going, but even if you have really ambitious commentators, they will leave as soon as they have a sort of reputation in a community.
But good luck, though

Honestly, everything outside of match shoutcasts is just filler so it doesn't really matter. The name "FPS" insinuates that it is intent.To assume that they are concerned about music is ignorant. They're simply trying to offer others a creatiive outlet when the radio isn't being used for shoutcasts.

QuoteSorry, but it just does not have what it takes.


Funny that mistaken is getting several request daily to shoutcast various matches.Funny it's the only English radio I see being posted to cover matches on gamesTV.

servOo 31 Oct 2008, 14:30
Well, if you say it is the only English Radio being posted should be a hint. So why is there only you shoutcasting? Why did not anyone else get the idea of shoutcasting a match in English?
There have been many English Radios in the past, but there was none which lasted very long. The commentators are leaving the radio to go to some better equipped station or the commentators are losing their fun in shoutcasting. Either way it means the radio will die. Without investing money and having something new to show, there is no use in starting a new radio. There have been so many other radios around, why should yours make it and last longer or be successful?

Furthermore if you see mistaken is actually kind of "famous" related to his shoutcast activity ( which actually does not mean a lot, every person who has shoutcasted is asked a hundred times a day to shoutcast someone's match), a founder of a "bigger" radio doing competitive game covery, would get interested.
The point is that it takes a lot of itme to build up a radio and it is senseless since you will never become as big as the others. That is what I experienced.

Ya I've heard the "you'll fail" in every gaming or ET related venture I've taken on.

I'm not worried about it.

servOo 31 Oct 2008, 23:51
Hey, it is no offense. I was just stating some clear facts. But good luck.

Actually mistaken is doing a good job, no doubt. But it will be hard to etablish in this buisness.

ya I know & I didn't take it personal. I guess I just look at it differently. It's all in what your expectations are & we've never been a group that expects much. We just do what we do cause we enjoy it & we enjoy that others enjoy it & let the cards fall where they will.

just remember nothing is for free! If you don't pay the caster they will leave you asap if they get the chance to go to a bigger station.

xeoxis 1 Nov 2008, 01:57
I would like to do some stuff but I don't think I'm cut out for a shoutcaster :D.

I could do DJ'ing but it seems boring.

PS: Why the DJ function? Wouldn't you rather go listen to real radio instead of some random noob dj'ing.
▼
Mashed 1 Nov 2008, 16:33
Have to agree with the points about how long it will survive without providing further incentives for people to continue casting along with or instead of other oppurtunities. We'll see...

Good luck have fun.

True - recently beat some Canadian high school team. Beats me, I don't have a clue how it works, ET just seems to freeze with some texture/gfx issue whereas css seems to run fine.
