[cma-l] : Audio broadcasting - Twicket

[Prashant Singh]

Dear All,
Young Volunteers (aged 15 to 25) of Radio Youthology, Birmingham produced
Live broadcast of Twicket on Easter Monday  .  We had 1780 hits on the
streaming, the largest we¹ve had in any one day!  It was a pioneering
initiative , one which attracted a lot of media attention, but also proved
that one doesn¹t needs vast amounts of resources to produce community radio
broadcasts and give young people form disadvantaged backgrounds a taste of
live broadcasting. Thanks to CMA for circulating the message, and
highlighting the opportunity to us, we broadcasted over the internet and
through our iPhone  ( http://tinyurl.com/3eqo2l2)  and Android (
