[nfb-talk] streaming the NFB convention

[James Aldrich]

Hello sherry and list,

ACB has a fulltime online station which puts it into an advantage for 
streaming its conventions.  Our admininistration feels programs as Newsline, 
legal challenges and a host of other things are more important than running 
an online radio station.  I'm certain various streams will soon be available 
on the NFB site as well as the August or September Monitor.  It is a matter 
of priorities I guess.  Till some kind of year round NFB stream can be 
justified, we simply won't have it!  I believe we have the expertise in our 
organization, having such an online stream must show that it is a 
justifiable expense!

Jim

I am currently, just for the sake of comparison, listening to the ACB 
convention opening session on ACB radio. There are no drop-outs, no loss of 
signal, but it sounds as though maybe 400-500 people are in the 
audience--only based on what I can hear. I think it would be phenomenal if 
someone knowledgeable in the streaming process could help our NFB be better 
able to stream our convention. Our National Convention was so exciting! I 
believe that if it could be streamed in its entirety, it would encourage 
those who have not attended to want to attend a convention. Is there anyone 
who could maybe talk to the ACB folks and find out how they do such a good 
job streaming their convention? Attending our convention in Dallas, I found 
it to be inspirational and though much of it will be put on the convention 
issue of the Monitor, I would hope that in future, especially for the 
banquet and the Presidential Report, the convention could be streamed via 
audio to those who will not be able to attend.
