Hi friend of PRX,

Mark your calendars: Friday, Nov. 21. That’s launch day for PRX 3.0 — all new Web site, lots of new stuff.

Now, before you light the sparklers there are some things you must prepare for if you’re a producer or station on PRX. We have to shut off the current PRX.org by 8 p.m. EST on Nov. 21, so the site will be unavailable until we relaunch with PRX 3.0.

• First, get all the programs your station will need for Nov. 21, 22 and 23 — that entire weekend — before Friday, Nov. 21.

• If you are a producer, post your programs and make any site edits for that weekend before Friday, Nov. 21.

Questions or problems? Drop us a line.

We’re psyched!! We hope you are, too.

3…2…1,

John
