Smith: Radio SR Debuts

We made our debut this morning on KJRB. Good work by Dan Mitchinson and Dick Haugen gives us a professional sound right off the bat. Our two-minute news cut-in at the bottom of each hour showcases our staff's growing breaking news capability. So far today, each newscast has been fresh with the latest news off our website. But I don't want people to think "that's all there is." The brief news cut-ins are just the beginning. We hope to have an hour-long daily news and talk show up and running by mid-May. That format will give us time for more long-form work. And we'll continue to branch out from there/Editor Steve Smith, News Is A Conversation. More here
