Broadcasting High school Graduation On The Radio!

[SomeRadioGuy]

The high school here has 1 graduating senior this year & we’ll broadcast the ceremony on KSKO. We had No graduates last year and 4 in 2021

I'm just doing what i think is right. Our job at KSKO is to promote, be a champion for and support the communities we broadcast to. Stuff i do here is so insanely local, alot of other stations couldn't do it.. but being local and making a positive impact on our communities is what KSKO should be doing, and its FUN to come up with local things to do/broadcast... i couldn't care any less if it doesn't involve me.. lets highlight the community!

Good Lord. Seems like something right out of the old TV show Green Acres.

I'm sure the family of that one graduate, thanks you.

That, and it keeps you from going stir crazy from boredom.

Paul, you're doing EXACTLY what the licenses were issued for in the first place. To serve the community they're licensed to, and that's why I salute you for upholding your community's values and serving them better than 90% of the licensees who've turned Radio into a corporate jukebox. Keep up the great work, my friend!

For many years, a local daytime station aired area high school graduation ceremonies on tape-delay the following morning.

I would so love to have a station like that down here! As @exdjted said, practically all stations nowadays tend to be very homogenized, and they all sound basically the same, with virtually no local interests or presence.

Too bad Alaska is so far away....

I understand that Trump said that he could have one of his construction companies move the whole state right into that empty space of the Gulf of Mexico. The climate would be better, oil would be closer to the markets, but nobody could see Russia from their house any longer.

No no and no

I like the climate the way it is.

I'd fry like bacon much further south then about Nebraska.

Don't come to California, then!

Between a nearly constant threat of fires and earthquakes, it's a rather stressful place to live if you're in one of the many high risk areas.

Back east, some call the west coast "Shake 'n Bake", which is actually a pretty good description of it I think (I should know! I've been here my whole life).

I know what you mean!

In the near-east SFBA, it was a terrible 125 degrees for like a week in early September when that heat dome set in (normally, it only gets to the upper 90s or so

After that, 115 doesn't sound quite so bad!

Same! Anywhere above 70F or so, not for me 🥵 I'd rather be in Alaska

From the good ol' days, when "city of license" actually meant something. Which gave me an idea for a new thread.

In 1971 the station I worked for in Portsmouth, NH broadcast the city's HS graduation.....well, sort of......
They used the old Link tube-type RPUs, that were VERY, VERY temperature sensitive....and tended to drift when things got "warm"....
About halfway through the ceremonies, as the students" names were being called to receive their diploma, the RPU decided to drift off frequency.....the rest of the broadcast was nothing but a long series of grunts and garble....
Despite calls from listeners to "DO SOMETHING!!" or "Get that %$%$! off the air!!", we plodded on, per order of the GM....
Ahhhh....the "Good Ol' Daze"......!!
