Friday, September 01, 2006 Gustavus, Listener Groups and More!

The pace of things seems to have accelerated in the last couple of weeks. 

Will Judy, KTOO’s IT Director, and I spent the afternoon in Gustavus yesterday doing a site visit and facilitating a town meeting.  About 15 listeners joined us for a discussion about the upcoming radio changes and mapping out listening options for the community which will only be able to get one station due to an FCC translator freeze. Mike Atkins, owner of the Homeshore Cafe, was gracious enough to publicize and host the event. 

Also this week, KTOO held its first listener discussion group.  Participants represented a range of KTOO supporters, from casual listeners with particular program concerns, to core audience members and volunteer dj’s.  The two hour conversation was lively and informative. 

We continue to map out the three program schedules.  They are still a work in progress but we plan on having what we feel are great schedules available for the public to respond to in the next couple of weeks. 

Keep the comments and questions coming!
