WKVH-FM Radio...all the hits, all the time

International radio has come to KVH's booth today as "Into Tomorrow with Dave Graveline" began taping this weekend's episode just a short time ago. This is the third time Dave and his team have joined us at a show - SEMA 2005, the 2006 Miami boat show, and this year. The show is broadcast on XM and Sirius satellite radio, on over-the-air broadcast stations nationwide, as well as Armed Forces Radio. A nice bonus from this episode – Graveline is donating MP3 players to members of the U.S. armed forces and five servicemen and women in Iraq, South Korea, and Afghanistan were announced as this week's winners. Make sure to check out Into Tomorrow's other efforts to support our troops.

The taping, which is being played over speakers live here in the hall and will be broadcast around the world in just a few days, will be going on for three more hours but we've already been entertained by Martin and Jim, who helped kick off the show talking about the TracVision A7. I think Dave G is a bit jealous...he's got a TracVision A5 and he seems to be drooling a bit over the new gear. However, he's got a new TracNet 100 that he just had installed last week so he's happy.

This conversation may be recorded for quality assurance...Martin, Jim, and Dave on the air.

Mad Mike also made a repeat appearance, spending about 20 minutes on the show with Dave before camping out in our booth's "office" for a few minutes of quiet before plunging back out into the fan-filled hallways.

Later today, Doug Schumacker from Cadillac will be chatting with Dave followed by Ian Palmer and Chris Watson doing an Abbott and Costello routine. Or maybe talking about TracNet. We're not sure yet.
