660News & Facebook, a good mix.
Facebook truly is an amazing thing. I know it’s merely the latest edition of social networking websites, but it goes beyond just talking with the friends you already have. I, like many others, have been able to find friends who I haven’t seen or talked to since grade 3. Those kids who used to beat you up for your lunch money can now chat with you and maybe set up a get together for some beers…hopefully not stealing your beer money or stiffing you with the beer bill.
Not only do you have the option of searching for people that went to the same school as you when you were still trying to figure out what 7 x 13 equals, but you can also join groups with a common interest. You’ve probably already figured out where this is heading.
Yes, there is a 660 News Facebook group. I should know, I started it a few months ago. At the moment there are 42 members with some of them being my co-workers. We also have many fans of the station who have made their way to the group and have joined in on our discussion topics.
This gives you the listener yet another chance to take a peek inside the newsroom, but with the group you can also voice (type) your opinion on the news of the day. It also give me a chance to connect with you on a more personal level…and let’s face it, connecting with the listeners is what it’s all about. I always enjoy hearing your thoughts on what we’re doing as a station and maybe even what you think of this blog.
So whether you want to check out some photos of our station, or just discuss the latest move from city hall or the legislature, stop by the 660News Facebook group and say hello.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Cormac
