Your Material,
Professionally Broadcast
Designed especially for artists, independent record labels, filmmakers, and other media professionals, our solutions make it easy for you to harness
multimedia technology to create a professional broadcast station style presence on the Internet. With our solutions, you can reach
and compete for a worldwide audience. Your fans can access your material 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Do you have video or music and want to get it out there? Then SurferNETWORK has the right solution to get your content in front of your audience. Getting started is easy. All you need is a web site.
Send us the audio and video recordings of the material
you would like to broadcast. We do the rest. We will digitize your material (if not already digitized), encode it into high quality
streaming formats, and store it on our servers.
When your audience clicks on your "Listen Now" website links, they will see and hear your material. SurerNETWORK can provide you with a branded player.
“Managed” Internet Broadcast Solution
How It Works
The Managed Internet Broadcast Solution broadcasts your material radio station-style. You provide us with your content and we will broadcast it from our servers 24x7 like a radio station – just put a “listen now” button on your web page. You can either provide us with a playlist or we can simply play your material in a continuous loop.
