[WXBH-Discuss] Planning for WXBH Streaming and PR

[Aron Conaway]

Okay, yes, I realized that I forgot to change the subject. So to those who 
are reading this for the third time, apologies....

In general , if there is a time that someone wants to get into the Brick 
House to do work and Kristen is not available, I am more that happy to meet 
anyone there to let 'em in and help out with whatever, as long as I am 
available at the time.

As far as volunteer/ governance manuals, I am interested in working on these 
as well. I don't know if we can get too far into the writing of them without 
some consensus from the group about how we will govern the station. But, of 
course, writing them will bring up these issues and we can make the 
necessary steps to make such decisions as each issue arises. A computer in 
the Radio office will be important to start hammering them out. Corey, when 
can we work together on getting that computer going?

Also, Stephen George and I had a long phone conversation yesterday and I 
brought him up to speed on our status. We agreed that our best bet is going 
to be to set our launch story for the streaming date (We, as a group need to 
discuss this issue as to when we should break the story). LEO is really 
behind us bigtime and they are interested in having a show, so that can be 
really big for us and them. I am investigating an ad/announcement similar to 
the old Kentucky Theater Project's old full page gig. It may cost a little, 
it may not, we'll see. It would do us a lot of good.

I think that maybe we should consider using Forecastle as a streaming 
kickoff milestone, July 28-29th (at the Mellwood Arts and Entertainment 
Center, with openning ceremonies/events in other venues). There we can make 
the announcment that we are on the web and inform the bands, artists and 
activists there that we are alive, well, and accepting show proposals/ show 
pilot proposals that we can stream. Then we can guage response and get 
feedback. We already have confirmation that we will be able to have a table 
with the sponsors of the festival for free (we will need to staff this for 
both days too). Look at the Festival.... http://www.forecastlefest.com/

Also we all need to keep asking everyone we know if they want to have a 
pilot show to broadcast on the stream for the first few weeks. A brochure 
announcement, a myspace profile and an email blast ought to be launched to 
explain the status of the station and ask for content/ financial 
contributions.

I'll bring the brochures down early on Sat. if possible. Or I'll bring 'em 
on Saturday at 4:00pm when my shift starts.

Peace, Aron
