Each “set” features lighting and video cameras that capture artist interviews. Stations then visit a central website to download footage for edit and posting on their websites. For examples, check out the sites of participating stations including WXTU/ Cowboy & Me: Curb’s Tim McGraw (c) visits with WQDR/Raleigh’s Mike Philadelphia, WDSY/Pittsburgh, WKLB/Boston, KFRG/ Wheless (l) and Marty Young.
