I think it's going to come down primarily to what original content the station has to offer. As it stands there isn't much if any new original content there and when it comes to competing with other avenues of media, it has its work cut out for it. I'd rather listen to whatever I'm in the mood for when I want to from my music collection, so the music that is playing isn't a huge draw (not that that is the fault of the station or your selection or anything). Twitch doesn't translate well to audio only most of the time. The commentary is often too sparse to fill the airwaves (the streamers are playing a game, not dictating a play-by-play for the "blind"). Audio tracks from the CIG vids is good, but we've heard them all already.
The point I'm getting to I suppose, is what does a radio station have to offer at this moment that will make people want to listen to it? It's difficult to get people to dedicate a block of time to anything when there are so many dozens of other things vying for their attention. Now, I'm still totally on board with the idea and my offer to host for an hour or so every few days is still standing (although I do need to go into more detail as to what I can/want to do, but that's not the point of this post), but to get people to tune in, the station has to have a hook of some sort. What is your vision of that? What do you want this station to offer that will make people want to listen?
