We have done quite a bit of thinking about our broadcast schedule, weighing the\u00a0 pace of new material and needed repetition so that our listeners are able\u00a0 to keep up.<\/p>\n
As you know, our content is audio books.\u00a0 Some of the content is from serial works: chapters of longer books, for example.\u00a0 And some of the content is stand-alone.<\/p>\n
Radio stations traditionally work on an hourly format and things are organized in “shows” of 1-hour length.\u00a0 That is what listeners expect to find.<\/p>\n
Here’s an overview of our current broadcast schedule plan:<\/p>\n
We will have eight one-hour shows, separating our material by content type:\u00a0 History & Biography, Mystery & Suspense, Travel & Nature, Americana, Humor, Romance, General Fiction.<\/p>\n
Each weekday (M-F) we will have 8 hours of fresh material followed by two repeats of that, to make 24 hours.\u00a0 That gives us 40 hours of new material per week.\u00a0 On the weekend we propose to replay those 40 hours.\u00a0 And that leaves us with 8 hours unallocated on the weekend.<\/p>\n
An hourly show would start off with one or more chapters of the book or whatever piece we are working through.\u00a0 Then any remaining time in that hour will be filled with random small selections from our library.<\/p>\n
We must have a station identification at least once per hour.\u00a0 And our underwriting message for that hour will most likely fit at the beginning of the hour.<\/p>\n
