I was premature in my posting yesterday about the IP convention. A few of us were unaware of the "transient" nature of the event depending on the weather. We have to have phone lines installed at these venues, with hard locations. In this case, there were multiple locations where the podium could be located and having the phone company install multiple (not to mention expensive) lines at multiple locations is impractical and too expensive.
So live coverage on the radio and an Internet podium stream has been cancelled. The new plan, according to producer Sara Meyer.
We will plan to RECORD the speeches and produce a one-hour special to air on MIDDAY Monday, June 26th. Laura McCallum is the assigned reporter. Mike Mulcahy and Curtis Gilbert will plan to attend as well. Mike Mulcahy is hosting MIDDAY on Monday
