So do I -
If it is in the UK.
Just some observations.
1. No matter which way this radio/live talk forum works out, someone will have to pay; at the moment it definitely looks like the Brits and or Europe.
2. The time factor will be an issue which ever way you look at it.
There is a danger that because of this, any HDC Radio will become more 'Here' and less 'There'. By that I mean any discussions made during a talk show, will undoubtedly be brought to the written forum, with those members who cannot participate become a little put out by it, eg
Talk show:We are all going to Horrorfest, yah.
The rest:Horrorfest We don't have a Horror fest :( , (end of discussion for us)
Talk show:Pity............. Like I said cant wait, Horrorfest it's so good, blah, blah
The rest: Log Off 'click'
That's probably over dramatic but .........
Does this mean that people who can participate in a live talk have to watch what they say, for fear of alienating those who for what-ever reason cannot participate.
**"Im trying to organise a little forum thread "Oscars", I would love if every body would take part, but I know that wont happen; I would love to have a "Live" virtual awards night where everybody can take part in, where people can "present" an award rather than me or a tiny few making it up as we go along.
Some members have even suggested having the awards live via Gore's show, great idea,........... who's going to do that, will anyone be there, for this to be live it would have to be on late or very early.
When I suggested it, the first thing said was "yeah, I want to be involved", next question "what time is it on"; the response has so far, from the Brits I may add "I dont have to stay up alnight to see it" **
I am not actually against a HDC radio show and I am currently assessing, not only do I wish to pay, but can I afford to, especially when I work during the day, and can't really afford to stay up all hours of the morning.
**Please excuse the "plug" just trying get some interest going here.
