Urban Unrest

All PSAs, Promos, Station Identifications and Liners have been moved to the “V-Cart” / Wireready system. Refer to the log on the clipboard for the current play schedule. Please note I try to be sensitive to your show and order PSAs/Promos that might be of interest of shows. However, the main goal is service to the community, informing listeners about a broad range of events, programs and more. Keep in mind that service to the listenership is the ideal.

Another point to keep in mind: whether a programmer plays PSAs/Promos as assigned on the log is to be a means by which your program will be evaluated in the future. Good to get into the habit now.

Attached you will find an illustrated walkthrough on Wireready. I am happy to train you one-on-one if you need help. My cell is 713-906-3229.

In short, to load a PSA/Promo:

1. Click “HotLoad” on V-Cart screen
2. Click “Select Folder” on far right of dialog box that appears on screen
3. Choose PSAs (for “P” PSAs) and Promos (for Promos)
4. Pick PSA/Promo by number on log (sort by clicking “Filename” bar)
5. Play from V-Cart pods on board

DO NOT CLOSE WIREREADY! THANKS!

If you are airing after midnight, run the long advisory in the Liners folder of Wireready, and the short one at the top of subsequent hours. This is to cut down on listener confusion about what airs when. Remember that station policy is stricter than FCC policy (i.e. no profanity 10-midnight or 5-6 a.m.).

Let me know if you have questions or needs. Thanks!
