We've run into some licensing issues with youtube and we're looking for some alternatives.
Is anyone using AWS (Amazon web services and cloudfront) to stream?

What type of licensing issues did you run into with Youtube? I recently did a 3-day waterski tournament and was forced to use youtube due to issues with my primary service. The live broadcast was fine, but there was copyrighted music playing over the PA system that was flagged by youtube and the audio was muted on the recorded version. For some of the segments of less than 2 hours in length, youtube has a setting that attempted to remove the offending songs. That was hit or miss. For segments longer than 2 hours, youtube wouldn't even attempt to remove the offending songs from the audio. Unfortunately, one day I had no hiccups on the stream - now I have a 10 hour recording on youtube with no audio. Fortunately, in my case, the live broadcast is what the viewers really want to see.

We ran into exactly the same issue. I used an audio gate once I realized it was happening and that pretty much corrected the issue. That's the biggest downfall of using YouTube imo.

@ g-mo
Can you elaborate on how you set-up your 'noise gate' to eliminate copyrighted BG music?
I'm not exactly clear on how this is possible during an interview or live play-by-play commentary where a PA system is blaring in the background, or maybe I've misunderstood you.

We do a mix minus with just race commentators (no music) and sometimes the PA bleeds through those mics causing the issue for us. The levels are usually pretty low....maybe -8db or even lower. I just set up the gate to cut anything off at that level and lower.
