PRSS ContentDepot Operations Workshops
In conjunction with public radio regional organization meetings, NPR Distribution offered a series of one-day workshops in the late summer and fall of 2004 to provide information and training prior to implementation of the PRSS ContentDepot. These workshops featured in-depth training for station staff who manage the intake and playout of programs on a daily basis. Though operations-focused, the workshops were open to anyone interested in learning more about public radio's new distribution system.
