Open Line is a forum for civil conversation...we ask that our callers follow certain guidelines while participating:

  • Callers are welcome to call in every other week. For example, you call and get on the air on Thursday... skip the next week, and you are allowed to call the following week on Monday (or any other day that week).
  • We appreciate thoughtful, courteous, and civil contributions to the conversation. Our callers respect the opinions of others and engage in meaningful dialogue.
  • Think about what you want to say before you dial. Please be brief and express your thoughts clearly with the call screener. The same goes for email messages...the more concise the better.
  • Don't use a speakerphone-the sound quality is inadequate for the radio. Don't call from a cell phone WHILE DRIVING-it's dangerous for you and other motorists.
  • TURN OFF YOUR RADIO as soon as the screener answers the phone! The 10 second delay on the radio broadcast causes confusion for caller and screener.

Our callers are an integral part of Open Line. The show relies on a steady flow of engaged and thoughtful listeners to keep the program moving. By following these guidelines we'll be sure to hear you on the radio!
