I can only hope that through e-mails from interested groups, discussion boards such as this, and other forms of publicity that the word about net radio gets around. I am fairly familiar with everything about legal and illegal immigration but I heard good points on your show that I hadn't heard before - and know that I will NEVER hear them in the 'get it out' in 30 seconds format of the national TV shows, dominated by the left.
So when do the internet video shows get going? Just a thought.
The problem with doing video is $$$ Video production costs a fortune. Right now, to do this lame little talk radio show, I've got $25g + in hardware tied up, not to mention 2 months @ 18hrs a day of engineering labor (anywhere from $60-$100 hr if you hired me to do it...) to set all that stuff up that I provided for free. Not to mention ongoing expenses in hardware and labor to keep everything up and running which amounts to a second full-time job. Mind you, the studio is extremely modest by broadcast standards....In addition, these interviews are all conducted by telephone so doing video by telephone is difficult to say the least. Bandwidth costs are another factor. If the major networks are only doing limited video by net, you know the economics aren't there yet.
In the mean time, we do radio and we do the best we can with what we have to work with. I don't like hustling guests in and out, like they normally do in broadcast, so I take enough time to let the guests say what they need to say. The trick is getting good guests. Lemme tell ya, it ain't easy. Lamestream broadcasters have staff. I wish...
