hey folks

i am interested in streaming a live audio signal over the internet.  i host a radio program on saturday mornings, and i want to make that content available live on-line to people who live outside the over-air broadcast signal.  the radio station i work for does not stream their signal, but they also have no objection if i wish to do so

currently i record the programs, then convert and save them as WMA files

i have windows media encoder installed, and i CAN create a WMA file, and it does record live audio that goes through my sound card - because i can play it back after i 'stop' it.  the problem of course, is that i cannot change the 'internet address' box, and the file is created on my local machine only.  i have no way (translation: "i don't know how") of making that streaming file available to people on the other side of the world.  So HOW do i make that streaming file available to anyone and everyone??

I  DO  have FTP access to a server, but if i try to upload the streaming file to it as it as that same file is being created, it errors out - and says it can't upload the file

any suggestions?  how the heck do i make a streaming broadcast available to the world

i am amazed how i have yet to find a simple, easy to use, 1, 2, 3 type of step by step instructions to stream live audio on the internet.  i don't have a budget that will allow me to make a deal and pay monthly fees to radio365.com, warp radio, etc.  i have a whole server at my disposal and can't launch the one thing we'd like to launch most

suggestions?  help??

thanks..
