Abstract
Technologies are generally described for a media service platform to stream broadcast media. A broadcaster may select media, such as audio and video recordings, to be included in a media broadcast. The media broadcast may be streamed to one or more subscribing users through one or more client devices over a network employing the media service platform. The subscribing users may be able to provide input and suggestions related to the streamed media through a broadcast page displayed on a user interface of the client devices. Additionally, the subscribing users may interact with each other and the broadcaster employing a real time discussion pane on the broadcast page. In some examples, the broadcaster may insert commentary and recordings concurrently with the streamed media broadcast. In other examples, the media broadcast may be saved and played again at a later time in part or in full.
