[nabs-l] A New Radio Station Is On The Horizon, Will You Join The Radio Revolution?

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello David,

I do not see how this message advertising your new radio station along with a personal narrative about how it was created has anything to do with blindness or being a student. Therefore, I do not believe this message is appropriate for this email list. I believe the only time it would be appropriate for you to advertise your radio station on this email list would be when you are advertising specific NABS related events. Otherwise, your continued mass announcements about your radio station are simply not appropriate for this email list.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

for advertising specific NABS related events.

Please consider passing this along to any friends you think would be
interested in being part of this new and up and coming radio project.
As a side note, we plan to carry Nabs events at convention, membership
calls and a whole lot more! So stay tuned and read below!

Thank you.
Hi All!
I'm here to announce that a new radio station is going to be born
soon. But to understand more, let me give you some quick background.
Internet radio is something that's been around for quite some time.
Fast connections and powerful computers and easy to use software have
made it possible for the average person to do a radio show about
anything; from music to talk and more.
I was actually fortunate enough to be able to run a station of my own
called Audio Access FM til 2013. Circumstances came up in my life that
forced me to give that station up.
For awhile, I began bouncing around to different radio projects, and
one thing was clear.
People on the various projects were doing a variety of things that
would take the fun out of radio. Whether it was playing favorites,
letting those who didn't work on the station into managerial meetings,
too many clicks, station owners not giving equal support to all their
djs, etc.
I decided I wanted to return to running a station. Despite my
controvertial radio past, I felt that the observing I have been doing
over the years plus growing up taught me a lot. Furthermore, I decided
I wanted to set a standard for radio that I believe could make it fun
again, at least for some people.
So my friends Will Ouellette, Clara Deitz, Chris Nusbaum and I decided
to get together to form a new station with a unique name and concept.
We want to change the standards and expectations of an online radio
station. We want people to know that radio can be fun, and that a
station can be an atmosphere where people feel welcome, there's no
drama, and everyone can have a good time while doing their best to put
on a quality show. There's a reason the broadcasting bug doesn't go
away for many of us who have been around for awhile. And that's cause
we know that if you have a nice mix of good people, professionalism
and the ability to have fun, being on a station with cool people can
be an amazing joy ride.
So since the station is on the internet, and the internet is world
wide, and there are 195 countries in the United Nations Charter, we
came up with 195 The Globe. And since we want to change expectations
about radio, our slogan is Welcome To The Radio Revolution.
This message is inviting you to either broadcast with us, or to follow
our journey to our launch date and beyond.
So if you'd like to apply to be a broadcaster, thus being part of this
new radio revolution, feel free to fill out our broadcaster
application right now at
http://www.195theglobe.com
The above address will soon be the home of our web site, but while we
work on it, this is where you can fill out our application.
Eventually, this application will be integrated into the web site. Our
site is being built with Wordpress to make it easy to find out about
what's going on, interact with djs and listeners, etc.
Not a broadcaster? No problem. You can follow our progress til launch
date by following
195_theglobe
on twitter.
Our facebook page and other forms of interaction will be coming soon.
I truly believe that this station will be unique and fun. We might not
be the biggest and most advanced, but we'll be innovative, fun-loving,
and there to entertain our listeners and make them happy.
So, if you want to join the radio revolution, apply at
http://www.195theglobe.com
or to follow the revolution, follow
195_theglobe
on twitter.
If you have any additional questions or want to talk about anything,
please email me at
ddunphy at 195theglobe.com
I hope to see you on our exciting revolutionary radio journey and beyond!
All the best,
David Dunphy
