Do You Want Your Public Radio Station to carry DOG TALK® (and Kitties, Too)?
We had some wonderful news this week: DOG TALK® has joined the programming on Saturday mornings at 10 AM on a lovely new public radio station in upstate New York: WCSQ-LP 105.9 FM, known on air as "Radio Cobleskill."
They are a licensed, non-commercial LPFM station and have just had their one-year anniversary on the air. During the week, they feature an "adult hits" music format, while the evening hours and weekend mornings are reserved for specialty shows (like DOG TALK®). They cover much of Schoharie County, NY, including Cobleskill, Richmondville, Warnerville, Central Bridge, Seward and Carlisle, plus a significant stretch of Interstate 88 --- with a listenership that is largely 25-54, female and male, though their weekend specialty shows reach an older demographic, as well.
It was as simple as pie --- they reached out to me and asked to air DOG TALK®. “Here you go” I said, and my engineer, Kyle, will now send them the show weekly, as he does for Robinhood Radio in the Berkshires.
This is such great news because it gives me a chance to reach out and ask everyone who already listens to DOG TALK® as a podcast: would you love to have the show air locally on your NPR station? If so, then call up the station and ask if they’d like to have DOG TALK® on the weekend. There's no cost of any kind to them --- it’s all about sharing the information and inspiration that I strive for every week with the show. The more people who know more about their dogs and cats, the happier I am! And of course, it’s really nice for my sponsors, too --- like Halo, Weruva, Best Pet RX, Pura Naturals Pet, and Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat --- because without their support there could be no show at all... nor the privilege of offering it as a gift to other public radio stations across the country.
Please get your NPR station to take advantage of this opportunity---so you have the option of hearing the show as more than a podcast after the fact!
