Promote your camp's events on BMIR, 94.5 FM!

[douglaswolk]

BMIR, Burning Man Information Radio, is the best way to let the citizens of Black Rock City know about your theme camps, art installations and events. Now that you know where your camp's located, this is the perfect time to record a promotional spot that we'll play on the air repeatedly! While BMIR broadcasts on the Internet all year long at http://www.bmir.org, beginning August 1st, we will start playing this year's camp promos. Then, starting August 21st, we'll be broadcasting LIVE from the playa, 24 hours a day. Across the city, people will be tuning in to 94.5 FM to hear late-breaking news, weather reports and--of course--your announcements.

It's never too soon to send us your radio spots. (Not sure how to record one? No worries! We've put together a handy tutorial at http://tinyurl.com/mn55p5 that will show you how to record an announcement with a free audio program. It's pretty easy.) Please record an MP3 at 320kbps, keep it under 60 seconds long, and don't be afraid to repeat the basic information of what, where and when. Remember to mention your specific location! If you have questions, drop a line to our Promo Whisperer, Douglas, at [email protected].

The best way by far to get us your spot is to email an MP3 to us at [email protected] before the deadline of August 18; that will ensure that we can get your spot properly programmed and in rotation.

If you can't make that deadline, you can also put your announcements on a CD or flash drive and hand-deliver them to BMIR on the playa. BMIR is located just off Center Camp, right between the Black Rock Rangers and the Department of Mutant Vehicles.

And if your plans don't come together in time to pre-record a spot, the BMIR Production Office will be open during the event every day from noon to 4 PM. We can help you record an announcement right on the playa, though there may be a wait.

Thanks, and don't forget to tune your radio to 94.5 FM!
