'''OPENING'''<br>
 
"Hello and welcome to the eighty-eight one KDHX Arts/Events Calendar for ''DAY/DATE''."
 
 
'''EVENT LISTINGS (4 or 5 max)'''<br>
 
"On ''DAY'', ''PRESENTER'' will present ''EVENT TITLE''.  ''DESCRIPTION'' (1-2 sentences max - remove provocative, promotional, qualitative, or quantitative language). ''EVENT TITLE'' (or the event/screening/lecture/etc.) will ''happen/screen/take place'' on ''DAY & DATE'', at ''PLACE'' (location with neighborhood, but omit street address) from ''TIME SPAN''. For more information, ''XXX''.com (omit www)"
 
 
'''CLOSING'''<br>
 
"You can view and search KDHX's comprehensive Arts and Events information anytime on the web at KDHX.org - just click on EVENTS. 
 
 
To get your event listed in the Events and Arts Calendars, send a text-only e-mail to calendar@kdhx.org. 
 
 
And when you go, let 'em know; when you attend any of these events, let everybody know you heard about it on the KDHX Arts/Events Calendar.
 
 
I'm __________________ and  _________________ and this is eighty-eight one KDHX.  Independent music plays here."
 
 
==Scripting Notes, by Sentence==
 
 
*On what Day and Date, Who is presenting “What,” (in quotes)?
 
**On Saturday April 1st, the St. Louis Artist’s Guild is presenting a workshop entitled “From Trash to Art.”
 
*Event Details - briefly explain features, beneficiary, why I should go.
 
**The workshop will feature a presentation by sculptor Dave Long, and hands-on demonstration of welding and shaping metals.
 
*When (w/day, date & time) and Where (location, address and neighborhood)
 
**“From Trash to Art” takes place on Saturday, October 25 from 10am to 3pm at the St. Louis Artists, Guild, 1 Oak Knoll Park in Clayton.
 
*Phone No. and Web site (do not use www’s & keep it basic)
 
*For more information, you may call… or visit….
 
 
Here is the [[Arts and Events Calendar Script Template]].
 
 
==Some Notes and No No's==
 
 
*The data you enter into this calendar is displayed on our website, but is also used to generate our verbal on-air calendars. Some of the particulars of writing may seem strange for display on the website, but are intended to do double duty, in assisting our on-air calendar producers to have ‘ready to read’ copy from this data source.
 
*Please keep in mind that we are a non-profit, and do not want to encourage commercial interests, rather inform the public about what things are going on.
 
*Please keep all information brief and to the points mentioned above.
 
*Put titles of events, displays, etc in “quotes.”
 
*Omit the mention of the year (anything in these calendars should pertain to things happening in the near future).
 
*Omit “www” from web addresses – these should be stated “…or visit STLArtistsGuild .ORG”. (uppercase letters in web addresses indicate that the voice talent should read the letters aloud vs. stating as a word.)
 
*Also, individuals names should be omitted from ‘for more info’ copy – you may use first names (ala ‘call Tony at 314-xxx-xxxx’), but please don’t use full names.
 
*Try to avoid writing the final info in a manner encouraging ticket sales - please do not use “For tickets, call X.” It is best if we keep it to the standard, “For more information, you may call, " even if the only number you have is for the box office or for Metrotix. Metrotix doesn’t need our help - please don’t mention them.
 
*Calendar entries should NEVER contain: - Calls to action (”so go on out to X” or “so you should X”) - Superlatives (”this will be the best event of its kind in the area”) - Cash Dollar amounts (yes, ‘free’ is an amount. We’re not allowed to say it)
