Radio Lady: We are re-imagining radio and TV formats at OPB. Please read and reply! Thanks!

[Radio_Lady]

Are you generally on the DU or on the Internet at this time on Friday? 8:00 AM Pacific Time/11:00 AM Eastern Time until 10:00 AM Pacific. We are also working with an afternoon time slot -- probably 2PM Pacific/5PM Eastern each Fridays. (PLEASE ADJUST FOR YOUR TIME ZONE.)

We are mostly looking for people who have expertise OR OPINIONS on individual topics, to join with guest authors.

See the thread developed this morning for a show that I have ALREADY COMPLETED.

1. No. This is a rare Friday off for me.

I'm generally in the classroom by 8:00 am on Friday mornings, and not out of that classroom until about 4pm.

I would love to participate, if I were free.

2. OK, LWolf. You're busy! Perhaps we'll open it up to other days or live weekends.

Right now, we're streaming on the Internet 24/7 so you would be able to listen at other times to other programs.

Right now, we're carrying lots of features that may/may not be able to be supported by corporate partners. So, the sky's the limit! These are just initial survey questions that will be suggested to management.

Appreciate the information. Can't tell if you're a teacher or a student, but thanks for input and good luck this semester!

3. Early, late, or weekends, and I'd check in.

:hi:

4. Excellent! I'm adding you to my buddy list as a potential listener.

It would be helpful to me to know what city you are in but if you don't want to identify, perhaps the part of the country. Whatever you feel comfortable with...

Management at Oregon Public Broadcasting is interested in developing local Portland, Oregon audience because that is all the HD Radio signal would supply.

However, the Internet takes it WAY beyond that as we all know.

Have a wonderful weekend!

5. Is anyone from Portland (Oregon) on the DU now? Other places in southern Washington state?

Would you be available to read the DU or listen to the Internet during these times --

10:00 AM to 2:00 PM -- and/or -- 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. (Pacific Time)

6. Kick for post count. Also, more details have been added from OP.

What days and hours are you available on the DU to check your PRIVATE MESSAGES? Please let me know the TIME ZONE you are in. Is it Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern Time? Other time zones kindly explain.

Is there a set pattern or not?

Would you be willing to submit questions to a particular PRE-ANNOUNCED guest via PM, post, or email?

Would you be willing and able to state your idea via telephone (NO CELLPHONES ALLOWED)?
Initially, we would have to give you our Portland (503) telephone number (Not a free call, sorry).

I will revise these questions as needed.

Cordially,

Radio Lady in Oregon

7. Thanks to the 98 people who opened this message.

I'd love to have a quick post or PM from you if you see this.

Thanks -- it's Saturday.

I might attempt to connect with some of you via PM, if that's OK.
