As long as our "i"'s are dotted and our "t"'s are crossed, there will be a New 
Year's Eve special on WBCQ on 5.110 MHz from the production team at Erie 
Looking Productions in concert with the team behind the Ubuntu UK Podcast.

The Joint New Year's Eve Special will be airing at 7 PM Eastern on New Years 
Eve, 12 AM UTC New Year's Day.  The show is a variety hour with a retrospective 
on the world of Linux and Ubuntu more specifically, poetry and music by 
Ashtabula-area musician Mike Kellat, and a policy essay on global 
communications in the aftermath of the World Conference on International 
Telecommunications 2012 in Dubai.  Other PSAs such as "Profile America" from 
the US Census Bureau and some silliness is included as well as a music break.  
Cleveland-area life studies artist Big Ed Kellatis assists Mike Kellat with the 
poetry reading.

Erie Looking Productions produces "LISTen: An LISNews.org Program" at 
http://lisnews.org/podcast to cover the realm of library & information science 
as well as "Ubuntu Ohio - Burning Circle" at 
http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/burningcircle to cover the activities of the Ohio 
Local Community team of the Ubuntu Linux project.  The Ubuntu UK Podcast 
production team releases programs at http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ covering the 
world of Ubuntu more specifically and Linux more generally.  Gloria D. Kellat, 
producer at Erie Looking Productions, served as overall producer for the joint 
effort this year.

Much like last year's shortwave special produced by Erie Looking Productions 
alone, this is done to highlight the impact of dangerous trends towards a 
fractured and broken Internet that have grown ever larger since the start of 
the Arab Spring.  It is far too easy in today's world for the Internet to 
simply go away whether by human intention or the intervention of natural 
circumstance as seen in the multiple failures of Netflix during 2012.  This 
remains yet another drill to show that message content rather than transport 
medium is key to communications viability.

Shortwave is most certainly not dead yet...
