EugeneF wrote a pretty nice guide before the season which outlines the easiest and cheapest way to run and archive a webcast.
But one of the main problems we ran into issues with justintv blocking us (and a few other regionals) for broadcasting copyrighted music, even though FIRST has licenses for all the music.
I watch a lot of streams on Twitch.tv (video game streaming site) which used to be or is owned by the same company as Justin.tv (Twitch.tv just got bought by CBS Interactive so I don't know if this is still true) and their admins are very friendly and supportive of all channels. Maybe FIRST and the community can get in touch with the administrators of Justin or Twitch to make sure the licenses are known and approved for X, Y, Z channels on A, B, C dates.

I think FIRST regionals are "technological" and "gamey" enough to be appropriate on Twitch but that would be a question for their admins I guess.

(I know the madstream chat was running on Twitch because I could do the twitch emoticons )
