Internet broadcasting is one of the easiest ways of sharing information with the masses. Not only is it easy to set up and maintain but it is also fairly cheap. There are numerous options that may be considered by people intending to use this service. The types of online stations are broadly divided into personal and professional stations.

Although the details of the whole process involved are rather complex to the lay person, there are numerous software programs that will help you. Some are downloadable as freeware while others require that you pay. Providers of these programs act as your transmitter. They have infrastructure in place to allow thousands of streams to be hosted on their servers. They charge their clients on a monthly basis depending on the air time required.

There are many reasons as to why people set up online television or radio stations. Commonly it is used as a way of generating revenue. This is achieved through the running of advertisements for clients. The other reason as to why people set up the stations is the opportunity to share content with friends and relatives.

To start the streaming, you also need to get some graphics and content description on your site. Some of the sites that allow for free broadcasting provide the service on condition that advertised content is placed on the videos. A webcam or a digital camera can be used to create videos in the case of a telecast. If your budget allows, you also acquire video editing equipment and a powerful camera.
