About me Chances are you'll find him in abandoned home, walls yellow with age and doors teetering dangerously on their hinges. Maybe there was a murder in the home or perhaps a fire. Whatever the case, Todd Bates is intent on one thing: hearing the voices of the dead. Electronic Voice Phenomena, or EVP as it is known in the industry, is the collection of disembodied voices via digital or analog recording devices. For Todd, it is a way of life. After years of investigating this mysterious phenomenon, he decided to create a website dedicated to EVP research and education. www.hauntedvoices.com , now in its 5th year, it has quickly grown to be one of the most successful Electronic Voice Phenomenon based websites on the Internet. This Palestine, Illinois native is dedicated to the exploration of EVP, and with the help of audio editing software. Todd has been a beta tester for ?Adobe since 2002 where he has written program features to assist in the development and research of Electronic Voice Phenomenon. Todd has collected some of the most impressive samples of the phenomena available today and currently teaches his techniques to others with free EVP lessons as well as other forms of paranormal education.
Todd's radio experience has spanned out over a few different networks. His radio-hosting career began with Dr. Ed Craft of Magick Mind Radio and following that, he met up with and decided to co-host along Dr. Jimmy Lowery of APSR Radio. Todd was then given the opportunity to host his own show on the BBS Radio Network where he did an incredible job on touching on the subject of the paranormal prior to moving on to the world of podcasting. He began podcasting his pre-recorded information and shows before starting up and airing live on the Haunted Voices Radio Network. Since its creation several years ago, Haunted Voices Radio Network has grown exponentially by the day and the listener base continues to jump. Haunted Voices Radio Network is committed to providing the best, quality, 24/7 paranormal talk around. The Haunted Voices National Network is currently hosting seven shows and is receiving interested applicants by the day.

This is a typical station page.
Here station fans can tune in, discuss, tag the station, and join a station's group. Groups provides a closer connection with listeners and allows you to build a community around your station.
Tags are a way for listeners to bookmark your station and also provide a way to classify your station for searching. For instance, the more people that tag a station 'Alternative', the higher that station will appear when someone searches for or clicks an 'Alternative' tag.
new!When you purchase a broadcast package you are given a number of Listener Units.
You divvy your Listener Units up among the four bit rate options: 32kbs, 64kbs, 96kbs, or 128kbs*. We came up with the idea of Listener Units so that you can re-allocate your bandwidth at any time.
For instance, let's say you start broadcasting thinking all your listeners will have a broadband connection. Eventually you start hearing from people that can't tune in because they're
(unfortunately!) still on a dial up connection. All you have to do is re-allocate some Listener Units to the lower quality 32kbs stream!
*bit rates correspond to stream quality - a higher number means a higher quality stream
Basic stats are provided for your station. You can see what's happening 'now' and the last thirty days.
Weekly spin charts are generated for your station. They contain the top 100 most heard songs you played during the week. Charts are often linked to by artists which drives traffic back to your station.
There are many ways for your station to be found on LoudCity
All active stations are randomly rotated and appear on the homepage as a featured station.
The most used tags appear on the homepage. Click next and you'll see what happens when someone clicks the 'Alternative' tag.
This is the search results for all stations tagged 'Alternative'. As mentioned earlier, the stations most tagged 'Atlernative' are listed first.
When someone clicks on an artist name anywhere on the site they're taken to an artist page where they can see the stations that play that artist. Again the stations that play that artist most are listed first.
Yet another way for listeners to find stations they're going to like.
In addition to all the features you've just seen we also offer a Custom Launch Page option. This allows you to upload your own html page(s) to LoudCity.
Since our webcasting licenses require our broadcasters to 'launch' their streams from the loudcity.com domain, the Custom Launch Page option is a great way to keep the
look and feel of your existing site when you send listeners over to tune in.
Whether you're a seasoned online broadcaster or just want to try it as a hobby, LoudCity provides a great set of tools and features for you to be successful. Give it a try!
