From a radio technical perspective all is ready and waiting at the studio for a phone-in show and or a debate of all candidates in the upcoming NG presidential election.
Alas to date there are only 2 phone lines to the new building, old one had four at least.
To have a phone-in there would have to be a designated line to a special phone all hooked up to the board, that phone is there waiting.
To do the phone-in without the special phone OK would need more than the two lines there at moment.
Only way a debate could be done is get all the candidates into the studio, easier said than done with them traveling etc. It would seem most if not all of them will be in Nain by the end pf this week or the weekend, most likely a little late, but then who knows.
From a radio production perspective the crew are disappointed, they have been getting phone calls asking if there was going to be any of the above mentioned.
The latest from Aliant is that a crew will be in on Monday [weather permitting] to see how many more lines can be re routed from the old building to the new, and then there is a congestion problem up around the new building area. This is not a critique of Aliant, just explaining the facts; the Labrador division of Aliant has been very co operative with OK Society to date.
As you can see in the weather for Nain the yellow circles with pointy bits are dominant for our area, boring in it? Unlike the Avalon Peninsular who just seem to complain all the time about RDF, I guess if I lived there I would complain too.
Also for those CKOK listeners in the Lake Melville region, I hear there is a little problem with noisy reception there. I have it on good authority that technicians are working on fixing the problem, it's a telephone ;line issue again, hopefully it will be sorted out soon.
