I am trying to get a ballpark figure on what it would cost to live audio stream six hours of talk audio per week. Little music. The talk stream would be a sports broadcast.

Let me give you an example. I subscribe to Yahoo College Broadcasts. Yahoo streams college sports broadcasts from major colleges. I pay $5 per month to get basketball, football, baseball, and any other sports streaming from my favorite university. During the sports season Yahoo broadcasts probably a minimum of twelve hours of streaming audio per week per team.

Questions: What is the bandwidth requirement for 100 people to access a streaming audio? What is the disc space requirment for a typical broadcast of six hours with no archiving of the audio stream other than what it normally takes to send out a broadcast over the web? What would be the cost to do an internet broadcast of six hours?

The bandwhich requirements would be defined by the quality of the audio. The lower the quality, the less internet traffic will be needed. You would have to check that.
