Important Update
I'm taking a break from the weekly updates and postings to my website, Blog and Facebook page. I wanted to give you an update on what's been happening here at Treasure Island Oldies since March, when we all stayed in place at our homes because of the Covid-19 pandemic. On March 25th I expanded the weekly four hour show to include a daily one hour daily show. I'm thrilled that eight of our Affiliate Stations of the Broadcast Partners Network decided to air the live simulcast Monday to Friday. Add that to the weekly four show which airs over twenty times throughout the week on all of our Affiliate Stations.To say that this has made an impact on my listeners would be an understatement. I have heard from so many of you, some long time listeners, while others are brand new to the show. Every single person has said how much they appreciate having the daily one hour show. They've commented that it's been so good to find a comfy place to hear their favourite music, away from the non-stop news feeds and social media postings. I am so pleased to be able to bring Treasure Island Oldies to you from the safety of my home radio broadcast studio. Nonetheless, this has resulted with me working six days a week, and not just the actual number of hours I am on the air. Add in the number of hours it takes to prepare each show, along with the post show tasks, including all the writing and posting to the TIO website, Blog, and Facebook page, and it is a rather substantial number of hours I commit every week. I'm getting tired.
I have made the decision to pull back on the number of Updates and postings I will be doing as of now. Please be sure that I am committed to bringing you the daily one hour show and of course, the Live Sunday four hour show. That will not change for the foreseeable future. What I want to do is avoid burnout or the feeling that I have to do "yet another thing" related to the show. So that's why I am backing off from all the writing, etc.
Just to confirm, the Rock and Roll News Podcast will continue to be updated and you can listen to it from the link at the website. In addition, the weekly playlist will also continue to be updated after the Live Sunday show is over.
I feel this is the best way to avoid any burnout and it will reinforce my commitment to bringing you the Daily and Weekly shows.
All the best to you.
Stay Safe.
Michael
