[CIMC-work] Fw: [Imc-chicago] Chicago timeslot on Global IMC Radio?

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Rita, all,

I'd be glad to lend a hand with audio processing, if that's required. I'd
have to look into conversion to the ogg format -- I'm sure there are a
number of utilities that could handle that....

> Here's our latest schedule for the global Indymedia radio.
>
> As you can see, there is quite a bit of open time from 23:00 to 03:00
> (6pm to 10pm your time) for new programming.
>
> Any IMC can get programming on the radio, including non-IMC content.
> Editorial is left up to local IMC audio groups, so radio producers
> should contact their local IMC and request their program's scheduling
> on the global radio.  For example, Democracy Now! comes to us via
> IMC-NYC, one of their members setup a Ogg streaming box in their studio
> to give us a very high quality live feed every morning.
>
> I'd specifically like to see if we can get "From The Trenches" on a
> weekly spot (monthly show repeated four-five times?).  We would need the
> show encoded to Ogg format directly, the 32kbps MP3 format is far too
> low bitrate for transcoding.  This would also provide an alternative
> format and location for your shows archives, as all content on the
> global radio is publically archived on http://liveradio.indymedia.org/
>
> As much as possible local content is scheduled only for the primetime
> of the source IMC, this way US content doesn't conflict with European or
> Australian scheduling, etc.  The only current exception to this is DN!
> because the show is streamed live.
>
> Pretty much, to get FTT or any other show on the global radio, someone
> from your IMC would just email imc-audio and ask for the program to be
> added to the schedual.  A password would be provided to maintain this
> program on the web (uploading the monthly program to the server, then
> editing the playlist to use the new program vs the previous month's).
>
> As far as I know, nobody from Chicago is on the imc-audio list.  This
> would be a good first step towards getting local programming onto the
> global radio.  We also need someone from your reigion to help manage
> your time zone's primetime schedule for the IMCs in your reigion.

> Cheers!
