A Facebook gateway is now available for both ba.broadcast.moderated
and rec.radio.broadcasting.

On your Facebook account, the gateway provides links on your Facebook
news feed to ba.broadcast.moderated or rec.radio.broadcasting
articles that are available on Google Groups. All you have to do
is "Like" the appropriate page for the newsgroup that you want
information about.

For ba.broadcast.moderated, look for Ba.broadcast.moderated (Usenet
Newsgroup). For rec.radio.broadcasting, look for Rec.radio.broadcasting
(Usenet Newsgroup). The initial capital letter is a quirk of
Facebook. You can also suggest the page to your friends through
the usual Facebook methods.

It should be noted that what appears on the Facebook page is links
to Google Groups. You'll still have to go to Google Groups (or to
your regular newsreader) to see the actual articles. This is
a notification feed only. Still, it might be a useful way to
introduce the newsgroups to those not familiar to Usenet by using
technology that might be more familiar to them (Facebook). Instead of
doing the sometimes hard work of convincing folks to sign up for
news access, or to check Google Groups, all you have to do is
invite them to the Facebook page.

To summarize, if you want to use this gateway, all you have to do
is "Like" one or both of these pages:

Ba.broadcast.moderated (Usenet Newsgroup)
Rec.radio.broadcasting (Usenet Newsgroup)

Many thanks to Paul Schleck, our Usenet technical consultant, for
setting up this feature!

Thank you,
The ba.broadcast.moderated/rec.radio.broadcasting moderation team
