Transmission technology

All shows are streamed live, and when shows are not being streamed there are usually repeats of past shows, The Computer Chronicles, movies, other podcasts (such as The No Agenda Show), or music licensed under Creative Commons licenses[disputed – discuss]. Jupiter Broadcasting also uses social media such as an IRC channel[12] and reddit.[13][14] The company encourages viewer interaction during live streams.

In June 2012 Jupiter Broadcasting announced it would begin hosting a more active Live Radio segment, using Airtime. Members of the public could help participate by producing their own shows on a regular basis, creating a legitimate always-on Internet radio stream, featuring music held under the Creative Commons License (or other similarly permissive licenses) and interesting shows put together by the public when Jupiter Broadcasting is not streaming its own content.

Awards

The Linux Action Show came fourth after Richard Stallman in the Linux Journal for Best Linux/OSS Advocate/Evangelist for 2013.[15]

Sponsorships

Jupiter Broadcasting was a media sponsor for Linuxfest Northwest 2014 and 2015.[16]
