I think licensing becomes a bigger issue if you try to run a radio station on YouTube with any commercial music. Even if you're OK from all copyright perspectives and fully-licensed, YouTube's copyright system is really easy to abuse.

What should be a good deal more cost-effective is an old-fashioned, Icecast/Shoutcast/Azuracast-based internet radio station.

Well there’s the Lofi Girl: https://www.youtube.com/live/jfKfPfyJRdk

BGM Channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/s1KpZtdvAdA

The Good Life Radio: https://www.youtube.com/live/IkmLXvBfVv0

Every one of those has multiple concurrent streams too.

BGM channel is more a cover band than a radio station. I don’t know the details, but it is my impression that YouTube strikes are for copyrighted _recordings_ and not copyrighted written music.

In the same vain, I think that lo fi is more a DJ (in the modern musician sense) that was good at automating and promoting himself rather than someone choosing other people’s recordings. I don’t know the sample sources at all
