BMIR reminds you to bring an FM radio to the playa

[Bobzilla]

BMIR, Burning Man Information Radio, reminds you to bring an FM radio with you to the playa.

BMIR, 94.5 FM is The Voice of The Man and will be broadcasting 24/7 from the playa starting sometime on Wednesday, August 25th. BMIR is Burning Man’s official radio station and is your source for news, music, official burn information, interviews, weather, Exodus information and general madness.

Start trying to tune BMIR in when you reach Gerlach and listen to BMIR while you’re sitting in line at the gate. We’ll be broadcasting live from the Greeters station on opening night and will keep you entertained and informed.

This is going to be a particularly good year to have a radio in your camp so you can listen to BMIR.

For the first time ever, BMIR will be live 24/7 during the event. That's right, we'll have live DJ's in the studio all day and night and we just got a generous donation of a state of the art broadcasting system from WideOrbit Radio Automation so we've got top notch gear!

We have lots of great programming in store for you like Reverend Billy, live broadcasts from the Dustfish stage, interviews with artists like Dr Megavolt, music from the Burners Without Borders stage, the Center Camp Café Speaker Series, A Playa Home Companion, The Sexy Sunburn Sarah Show and much more.

Of course if there were to be severe weather or any type of emergency BMIR is where you tune for official information and instructions

Tune us in while you’re lazing around camp with a cocktail during those hot playa days. Stop by the station and say hello, BMIR has moved and is now located at 1:00 on the Ring Road in Center Camp, right on the Esplanade between the Rangers and The DMV.

Our Production Office will be open everyday from 12 Noon to 4 PM for you to come by and record an announcement promoting your camps events. Relax in our lounge and chat with our DJ’s and have a cocktail.

So remember.....................bring a radio.

We'll see you in the desert!

[Bluemandrew]

I fear it may have been the dust, but my radio failed after a fairly short time. I think it may require a waterproof radio.

[teardropper]

Don't know how three got here...

We found a sweet little (5") weatherband radio powered by crank & solar (no batteries) on Amazon for $29.99. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QT ... ss_product

>as pretty funny last year, some guy was interviewing a bunch of kids on >it.. made me smile

That was me. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh and yes. BMIR will start streaming sometime on 8/25. You will be able to listen at http://www.bmir.org or http://www.shoutingfire.com

Instead of broadcasting at Greeters it may be more entertaining to broadcast from D Lot.

Love, Love, LOVE the little weatherband radio. A few cranks make it work for a long while--and it has a USB port to power a cell phone! Awesome! Lotsa folks in our families are going to be getting these as holiday gifts.

In addition to BMIR and all the other temporary playa stations you may want to check out radio Free Gerlach, KLAP 89.5 FM.
