Subject: [NCRA-Members] FM Chip - Update and call for Audio
To: NCRA Members <ncra-members at ncra.ca>


Hello Everyone

The NCRA FM Radio Chip campaign has gotten a bunch of support
<http://freeradioonmyphone.ca/2016/05/canadian-fm-chip-news-stories/>, we
almost at 1500
<https://www.change.org/p/canadian-telecoms-enable-fm-chips-on-smartphones-canada>
on our change.org petition!

However the initial momentum has worn off and there has been very little
update by our members.  We need your help to get the word out.   You can
reach over 1 million people!  Here is what you can do:

1) Create a PSA (or 5), air them on the station (hourly would be great),
and SHARE them with other stations here.  The information about what goes
on it is located here <http://freeradioonmyphone.ca/for-broadcasters/>, so
PLEASE develop and start to share.  Please pass us a copy!

2) Social media:  Like the above, that is a key to getting eyes on the
project. Here
<http://s3-mu.nextradioapp.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/04/21120515/WebBannersCanada.zip>
is some already made images to share, and more can be found here
<http://freeradioonmyphone.ca/for-broadcasters/>.  Why not make your own
and share it?  Please share with us

Why not put them on your website, like BCIT
<http://commons.bcit.ca/evolution1079/> has!

3) Sign the petitions yourself, and TWEET/Facebook/Email/Call your own
carriers.  This is what will make them happen.  You can find out how to do
that here <http://freeradioonmyphone.ca/take-action/>


We have been told at the conference this is an amazing thing we are doing
and it can really help impact the community sector to gather more
listeners, but two staff here at the office cant do the work, it lands on
the stations to reach out and publish it.

I am happy to provide more information, interviews etc as needed.

Additionally:  NextRadio App will be on google play July 1st, so those
mobile devices that are already authorized will have access to your station!


Please share, please promote please help get FM radio on your phone!


Barry
