NEW--What time do guests need to
arrive at the studio?
The show starts at about 10:30am, so we like to see all guests at the studio by
10:15am. That gives us time to "warm up" a little and get
comfortable before airtime. The program runs until 11:00am -- with
commercial breaks, we get about 30-minutes of actual "talk
time."
NEW--How many guests commonly
appear on each show?
If possible, we would like to limit the number of guests to one (1).
Exceptions for additional guests may be made.
Who can appear on KINY's
Capital Chat talk program?
Virtually anyone or
organization that would like to discuss a local issue or community
event. All guests are required to appear in-person at the KINY Radio
studio. We do not conduct interviews via telephone.
Is there a charge for an
appearance on Capital Chat?
No. KINY provides this free and open forum for discussion of local issues and community
events. An appearance on the program should not be considered
"advertising," per se, and should be backed up with paid announcements.
We have special two-for-one rates for non-profit, civic and community
groups (click
here). Remember, Capital Chat is a one-shot deal, and as much as we'd
like to think so, not everyone is able to listen everyday. You'll be missing a share of
our audience if you rely solely on Capital Chat to "advertise"
your event on KINY.
What
if my organization purchases advertising elsewhere?
As a general rule, we do not schedule interviews with for-profit businesses. Non-profit and
community organizations are always welcome with the following caveat:
if your organization buys advertising for its event in the local newspapers, on television, other radio
stations or from any competing media, but not on KINY, please don't
ask us to give
you free airtime on Capital Chat. There is a common misconception that
commercial radio stations are "public property" and are required
to provide free airtime to community groups. Not so. While we diligently
strive to offer public service time to local organizations, we are a
business (like newspapers and other media), and shouldn't be left
out of your paid advertising plans. All we ask is fair and equal
treatment.
For ad rates, please contact our
Advertising Department at
586-1800 or visit our Advertising web
page.
How are dates chosen for the
program?
Capital Chat airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The schedule tends to fill up
quickly, so we suggest booking your appearance at least six weeks in
advance, though you may find an earlier opening.
Who is the contact for
scheduling an appearance?
Please call 586-1800 for scheduling informaiton.
Where is the KINY Studio?
We are located at 1107 West 8th Street, second floor, in downtown Juneau
(right in front of the Alaska Department of Labor building, west side of
Egan Drive, just south of the Douglas Bridge).
