Where Have You Been? S04E12: We Orange the World at Artsville

We’re pleased to present the lat­est episode in our orig­i­nal series, “Where Have You Been?”, where we dis­cuss things to do and places to vis­it across the Sec­ond Life Grid.

Episodes are broad­cast on Wednes­days and Sat­ur­days at 12 noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific Time.

In this episode we dis­cuss a new instal­la­tion at Artsville: “We Orange The World”

Orange is the sig­na­ture col­or of the Unit­ed Nations women’s UNiTE cam­paign, and it rep­re­sents a future free from gen­der-based vio­lence. The instal­la­tion “We Orange the World”, now open at Artsville gal­leries, embraces both the cheer of the col­or, and the men­ace of gen­der-based violence.

Programme Schedule

We have recent­ly changed our broad­cast­ing hours, but that has not affect­ed the sched­ule for our orig­i­nal pro­gram­ming, which remains unchanged. Here a list of shows, days and times. All times SLT/Pacific.

Broadcasting Hours

Lis­ten­ers may have not­ed inter­rup­tions in our broad­cast­ing and a move away from our 24/7 sched­ule, begin­ning in late Octo­ber.  We val­ue our loy­al lis­ten­ers and want to let you know what occurred, and what can be expect­ed mov­ing forward.

In Sep­tem­ber and Octo­ber, a sharp and unex­pect­ed rise in lis­ten­ers sig­nif­i­cant­ly increased our lis­ten­er­ship hours, which would nor­mal­ly be a Good Thing. How­ev­er, as more lis­ten­ing hours means more music licens­ing costs, it increased to a lev­el that was finan­cial­ly unsus­tain­able with our lim­it­ed income, espe­cial­ly as it occurred out of the blue. We took tem­po­rary mea­sures in order to avoid incur­ring addi­tion­al costs, and ulti­mate­ly decid­ed that to remain with­in our bud­get, we would no longer broad­cast on Mon­days and Tues­days for the time being, and focus on air­ing our orig­i­nal series, whose sched­ules remain unchanged.
