Hello!
Our own Greg Perry has been diligently working on a new system to reserve
studios for recording your show.  As I mentioned late last year, the
previous system, Skedda, eliminated their "free" tier and wanted to start
charging $50 per month!

The new system utilizes "The Hive" which is an internal KCBX website that
offers many handy links for use by KCBX staff and volunteers.

https://www2.kcbx.org/thehive/

Once signed in to The Hive you'll see a list of handy links along the right
side of the screen.  Under "On Air" links you'll see links for Production
Studio Reservations land Studio X Reservations.  Select the studio you
want, then the desired day.  The studios are reserved in 30 minute blocks.
If the studio has been reserved by somebody else, their blocks will be
grayed-out.  If you need it for three hours, you'll select the desired six
boxes, then provide your name and email address,  There is also a place to
include Special Requests.  That could be for extra microphones, if you also
need use of Studio B (The room adjacent to the Production studio, aka
Pledge Central), or if you'll be needing the Telos telephone system to
record phone interviews, or anything else you might need.

You will be sent a confirmation email that contains links to either edit
your reservation, or to delete it.

To receive login credentials, please email Greg gperry@kcbx.org and he'll
hook you up.  Let me or Greg know if you run into any questions pr issues -
and thank you Greg for your hard work in getting this up and running!
