STEVECOCHRANSHOW.COM WILL SHOWCASE “BEST FROM OLD SHOWS” PLUS “COOL THINGS WE CAN DO ON THE NET”

Chicago media columnist Robert Feder wrote, “the site will feature fresh, original material every day — some in blog form, some in podcast form, some in video form. It also will include an archive of interviews and news about his standup comedy appearances.” Cochran told Feder, “I want to take the best stuff I did from the old shows and add all the cool things we can do on the Net.”

RAIN readers will remember that Chicago radio legend (and RAIN Summit speaker) Steve Dahl, no longer on the air, is also maintaining his media profile through (among other avenues) a daily podcast, a Twitter feed, and video content on his website The Dahl Show.

NPR SURVEYS ITS FACEBOOK FANS

More than 40-thousand people responded to the survey, nearly all of whom (96%) say they’re on the popular social network site at least daily (80% access it more than that!). More than half listen to NPR for 1-3 hours a day, compared with the 4.25 hours per week for the average NPR listener. 84% say they “regularly read” the news NPR posts on Facebook, and 30% have participated by “commenting” on at least one story in the past 5 months. NPR seems to have found the “sweet spot” when it comes to deciding how often to post items on Facebook: 72.6% say the 8-10 (on average) NPR posts per day is “just the right amount.” Just 6% felt that that was too often.

In July, NPR surpassed 1 million fans on Facebook. Read more results of the survey from NPR here.
