Setting our own media agenda
Lads,
I came across this on an unrelated matter, but it might be of some interest here.

Basically it allows anyone to host their own radio show, which can accept callers and can be listened to online.
At Cityweb, we are looking at it with the view to perhaps introducing live streaming audio commentary from game. Unfortunately with the facilities in the Brandy it might be an issue.
However there might be scope for a wider eircom League programe.
You could have someone hosting the show who isn't at the game. The host could then call volunteers at the games who could provide updates and a summary of the games to date. An amateur Friday Night Sport if you will.
With most grounds now with wifi or broadband, people could use VOIP to call in and give updates. Otherwise the host could call the volunteers on their mobiles using VOIP from their own PC.
The rest of the show could feature interviews, discussions with callers who are not at their teams games etc.
Basically it gives us the chance to drive independent coverage of our league.
