Q: How do I get on Speakers Corner? Our interactive video booth is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All you have to do is come on down to the building at Queen and John and have your say. It costs a dollar to use our video soapbox.
Q: What kind of pieces get picked to be on air?
The editors are looking for the segments which are the most compelling. This can mean the most opinionated, the best expressed, the funniest, the most passionate, the most human, or sometimes the most contentious. Because Speakers Corner is used on our Newscasts as well, we are likely to select pieces which are topical. The more concise and the better presented your view or performance is, the more likely you are to get on air.
Q: Can I get a mobile Speakers Corner for my wedding or party?
Unfortunately, no. These roaming video machines are currently used exclusively for broadcast purposes. We send them out to community cultural or newsworthy events, in an effort to give people an opportunity to express their views about specific events. We have sent mobile units to schools, literature festivals, youth employment forums, etc.
Questions? Comments? Please come down to Queen and John and have your say.
