You'll need to run the pi_pcm server program in another terminal and keep it running the whole time. This is the program that actually generates the radio signal from the Pi. The watch.py program sends commands to the pi_pcm program, telling it what to broadcast.

In another terminal, enter:

scons
su
./pi_pcm

and then you should be able to run the watch.py program.
