FAQ

A: That's okay. We've designed Animal Radio® to stand-alone with just one-hour. There are no references in the first hour about the second hour. So the show sounds great if you take one or two-hours. Remember, the ABC/NY satellite feed is only one-hour. The Jones Network feed is two...and LIVE.

Q: I want my listeners to be able to call in LIVE and participate. What's the best delivery method?

A: Jones Satellite downlinks a LIVE feed every Saturday at 1-3 pm EST. Learn more
