[rfu-automation] Re: Earthbeat Radio

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

Myki,

We do have some syndicated current affairs content that runs on our  
automation system from 4-8pm daily, and which is broadcast when no  
live programming is airing - thus, either when we have no scheduled  
content or when scheduled shows do not air. I'm going to add your  
show to this block.

We haven't reflected these shows on our site so far, as the block is  
still taking shape, but we're looking at ways in which we might  
inform our audience about the shows on our site and elsewhere.

Andrew
