Hello! I would like to let you know if you have a friend, a husband, a family member or a pen-friend at Polunsky unit (Texas death row or general population), you can send a message through an e-mail to the station kdolradio@livingston.net and put "shout out to (put the prisoner's name here)" and then write a brief message, of a couple of sentences or so. This message will be read over the air beginning at 3PM until 7pm on Sundays. Isn't that great!  You can alo listen to the radio. Hre is the link: www.radiocast24x7.com/kdol_launch.htm Have a good day! |

Hi Butterfly! I sent a birthday greeting via this radio station to my friend in Polunsky yesterday!  Just let's hope he heard it! Actually, I was thinking they were receiving so many requests that they didn't have time for my message. Obviously, they are dealing with a lot of "shout outs", so I was so happy when I heard my own message to Roy who turns 50 on Saturday. A wonderful effort!! ;D Love, Turid |

;D I heard your message, Turid!! ;D It took me a while to realize I could listen to the station online. Did you hear Glenn on there? *LOL* I heard you too! I just didn't recognize your name when I heard it pronounced as Lini......  I had hoped that the station didn't cut off the last sentence to my friend which was: "See you in June".....And - I also wish they had the song I'd like to send: "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. (My favorite song of all times!) I guess not many Americans know Pink Floyd, so that was a mistake! I will most definitely use this opportunity more often. Just hope our friends heard us!! ;D I know my friend would really appreciate it! Hope to see you here more often, Lene! Love, Turid |

He didn't just CALL in - he WENT to the station and talked on the radio. He sent a message to his brother, and my other friend, and to ME. ;D It was SO cool. It was pretty late though. He also gave the radio station a picture from one of my visits, so I think we're on the wall.
Haha - Lini - yeah... during the night he got it more right though, because Glenn told him how to say it.
I e-mailed them songs by the way. "Please Mr. postman" by The Carpenters and some other songs.

Also happy for you When they read mine you have no idea how much i was moved because my cowboy did not expect me to send him a message. Hope it was a good suprise  Love |

I thought it lasted only about 1 hour....I need to check out if it's possible to record it. I've never tried, but it should be possible. I'll let you all know. If anyone else knows, please advise!
Love,
Turid

The problem last Sunday though, was that I believe the radio station does not have nearly enough bandwith, so when the entire human race logs on at the exact time, they might experience problems. I will in any case see if it can be done. And of course I'll let you all know! Love, Turid |

I was told that the warden is already trying to dictate to KDOL what they can and can’t do  . Hope not ! Let us know. Thanks so much Turid. You are a wonderful woman Love, |

Why would the warden care if we want to send messages to our loved ones? Ok, I forgot for a moment that this is Texas we are talking about. Geeze, give us a break. All we want to do is bring a little light into our guy's lives.
What this station is doing is wonderful and I can't thank them enough. With them not getting mail on Sat or Sun it is nice to be able to get a message to them so they know we are thinking of them.

Let us know. Thanks so much Turid. You are a wonderful woman Love, Thank you SO much for the compliment! Same to you! I doubt the warden minds. I can imagine the guards feel like they're on vacation during this radio program, because most of them are most likely listening to the radio. I'm guessing, but I believe it's lack of bandwith. It's like a water faucet. If you only turn it up a little, you can't serve 100 persons. If you provide more bandwith (turn up the faucet) you can serve a whole lot. Perhaps they weren't aware of the enormous attention they would get when they set it up? What happened though, was that the entire planet was listening in at the same time!!  It is perhaps a matter of money though. It's my impression that kdol doesn't have so much money. Hopefully, when people realize the value of this station, they will come forward and donate. Love, Turid |

I did not get to listen to the program today. Can anyone by any chance tell me if they played my funny song by Charlie Daniels? Uneasy rider 88? I tol Michael how funny that song was and had the chance for him to get to hear it, so I put in a request, they said they'd play it. Anyone know if they did?

I fell asleep for a while, so I don't really know what happened a while before that. I did get through with my 2 messages to one of my friends and 1 to the other though! VERY NICE PROGRAM THIS!! I JUST LOVE IT!! Love, Turid |
