You can host your own one-time Talk Radio show!

Not sure if Talk Radio is right for you?

Want to get out an important message via your own talk show?

Or just want to have fun and take over our station for an hour?

No problem! We have the solution: You can host your own one-time 1-hour talk show, and find out for yourself! You show will appear as an episode of our "Public Access Radio" program at http://www.GlobalTalkRadio.com/shows/PublicAccessRadio. You can also learn more by reading our FAQ and testimonials, or contact us with your questions.

There's absolutely no long-term commitment required, and we'll help you setup and record your one-time show. Then, we'll broadcast and archive your show on our internet radio station and add your show's title and description to the Public Access Radio show page (along with information about yourself and links to your own web site)... so you can judge for yourself if Internet Talk Radio is right for you.

What we do for you:

Professionally engineer, produce, record and store your show
Help connect you with any co-hosts or guests you want on the program
Make your archived show available for on-demand streaming
Add bumper music (with royalty-free music, as appropriate)
Add your personal information and links to your own website to Public Access Radio's show page
Promote your show to other listeners on our station

No experience is necessary, as we provide all the technical support necessary to produce, broadcast and archive your one-time show. An engineer will assist you in preparing bumper music and connecting with guests or co-hosts (listener calls are not accepted for one-time shows), and your program will be recorded and stored in a universal format for archiving and rebroadcast. If you live in the Los Angeles area, we invite you to host your talk show from our studio; if you live outside of the L.A. area, you can still host your talk show via remote hook-up from your home or office.

How it works:

You will dial into the station's recording center at your pre-agreed time
If you have guests or co-hosts, they will call in at the same time
An engineer will perform a "sound check" and get you started
You will have have one uninterrupted 48-minute segment (no commercial breaks)
Your program will be recorded for archiving purposes
After the show, our engineer will check to see if any critical adjustments are necessary to the recording
Bumper music will be mixed into the beginning and end of the recording
Within a couple days, your show will be posted and available for on-demand streaming and MP3 downloads.
You can supply a short description for your show, which will feed keywords into major search engines like Google and Yahoo

How much does it cost?

You must also agree to the following:

1. Global Talk Radio ("GTR") agrees to produce, engineer, record, archive and stream a talk show for you ("Host"). If Host will be remote, Host is responsible
       for purchasing and configuring any necessary hardware and software to provide a quality connection to the studio, unless connecting by telephone.
       Host is fully responsible for preparing the show's content and for all vocals used in hosting the show.
2. The length and frequency of production shall be: One-Time 1-Hour Show (approximately 45 minutes of actual program)
3. Host will record one episode of "Public Access Radio" with its own subtitle and description. This episode's content (except for inclusion of any copyrighted
      material, such as music) will be owned by Host. However, GTR exclusively retains all rights to, and ownership of, "Public Access Radio". GTR is hereby
      granted a complete and irrevocable two (2) year license to promote, market, archive, edit and re-broadcast this episode, without compensation to Host.
4. The exact time of recording the show will be determined by GTR and Host.
5. At no time shall GTR be held responsible if any of the shows are illegally copied or reproduced by listeners.
6.   GTR will make a good-faith effort to backup and preserve recorded shows. However, at no time shall GTR be held financially responsible for lost, deleted
      or corrupted recordings.
7. GTR may obtain licenses with ASCAP and BMI for public performances of their copyrighted music, which Host may incorporate into its show. (However,
      if licensing agreements change with ASCAP and BMI, then Host shall immediately abide by those changes.) ASCAP and BMI require, and Host agrees to
      provide GTR with, the following information for any copyrighted music incorporated into any show: Name of Song, Artist/Bank, Composer/Writer, Author,
      Usage Code, and Duration of Performance. Host agrees to indemnify and hold harmless GTR in the event that there are any errors or omissions in the
      data that it provides to GTR.
8. Host agrees not to include any content that is copyrighted by parties outside the scope of this agreement, or which is illegal, slanderous or offensive in
      nature. Host agrees not to use profanity or vulgarity. Host agrees to indemnify and hold harmless GTR from any legal actions that arise as a result of
      broadcasting or archiving any material under this agreement.
9. GTR may edit these shows at its sole discretion, for the purpose of adjusting segment length, removing or adding advertisements and announcements, or
      for removing inappropriate content.
10. Either party may advertise or promote the fact that Host's show is available at GTR's website. Host is encouraged to record a show announcement to be
      played elsewhere on GTR's website. GTR is granted permission to a) create its own announcement for Host's show, using audio clips from actual shows as
      part of the announcement, b) create one web page on GTR's website for information about the show, and c) use Host's name and the name of Host's
      show in audio and visual format throughout GTR's website for the purpose of promoting the show. Host is granted permission to use GTR's name in audio
      and visual format throughout its website and recorded program for the purpose of promoting the show's availability at GTR.
11. As compensation for the time GTR will invest in producing this one-time show, Host agrees to pay GTR the non-refundable fee selected above in advance.
12. Advertising revenue from the show (if any) shall be divided as follows: 40% to GTR; 40% to Host; and 20% commission to whomever, at GTR's sole
      discretion, is primarily responsible for selling the advertising. (Advertising revenue refers to ads and sponsorship placed specifically for this particular
      show. There will be no revenue sharing for advertisements that are run generically throughout the station, even if they run with this show.)
13. Host will not be reimbursed for its own late arrivals and no-shows, technical problems out of GTR's control, or acts of God. (Host should arrive in our
      studio, or be connected remotely, at least 10 minutes before show time.) Further, Host will not be reimbursed for shows that would normally be scheduled
      on national holidays or during the period between and including Christmas Eve and New Year's Day.
14. GTR does not guarantee the quality or success of any show, and GTR shall not be held financially responsible for guests or listeners who are unable to
      connect to Host's show, or for technical glitches that occur during a show, regardless of the reason. Host must always be prepared to "go solo" when
      recording a show.
15. GTR reserves the right to immediately suspend or cancel any program at any time for Host's default under any section of this agreement, or for legal or
      ethical reasons.
16. This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California.
17. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Host and GTR, and may only be modified by a written document executed by both parties.

Do you agree to all of the above? (We suggest that you print this page for your records.)

(Upon approval, your credit card will be charged and a confirmation will be emailed to you within 2 business days.)
