Live Audiobridge
The audiobridge is a two-way telephone system that allows you to speak
live with the people
in the studio, and them to speak with you.
To participate on the audiobridge, please call the audiobridge operator
(800-222-0055) as early as possible (up to thirty minutes prior to
the Workshop) to let us know you'll be joining us live.
We encourage you to stay connected throughout the entire program by
leaving your phone off
the hook. However, it is not necessary to have someone manning the phone
at all times. During
the Workshop, the audiobridge operator will receive incoming calls and
will tell you who will
be speaking next. You will be told just before your call is taken on the
air.
It is likely that your site has only one available phone. Think about
how comments from
various participants will be communicated once your call is taken on the
air. Options include using
a portable phone or passing notes to one person who speaks for the site.
Please keep in mind the following suggestions when participating on the
audiobridge:
- When your site wants to ask a question, the person at the site
should pick up the phone and say:
"Audiobridge Operator, (name of your site) has a question or
comment."
- When you are speaking, please keep your phone as far from the
television set as possible and
the television volume at a moderate level to avoid feedback.
- While waiting to speak on the audiobridge, please continue to follow
the Workshop.
- If using a portable phone, please keep it near its base to avoid
static.
- Please keep conversation away from the phone unless you are speaking
to the on-camera
presenter or to the audiobridge operator.
