Thanks for the post Luke. It's great that everyone will be able to hear it on-line and talk about the appearance afterward.

I believe this will be airing at 3 pm Eastern/2 pm Central on Sunday for those in the US.

Yeah, i've got a feeling this is a pre-record though. I used to work there many years ago and this kinda stuff was always done on tape a few weeks prior.

I'm not sure if it's just UK'ers that got it but this i think was from that email mailing list that the Henson Company started a while back. It's nice they are doing this kinda thing but live taking questions would be better. I don't think they've ever topped that Gonzo live netstreaming appearance for 'Play TV' - they need to do more of that and interact with people.

Guys,

This is gonna be great, People with Digital TV can also tape it from the Digital Radio Stations! I think im gonna tape Audio and on the Video, The TV gets better quality radio.

I called Capital and Henson and they both said that it was pre recorded, But with the Links and Music being broadcast live.
I dont know what that last bit means.

If it was Live i was gonna go down to Leicester Square to watch it !

Yayyyyyy,

I jusy recorded the advertisement they made for the Radio Station ! They said that you can 'Meet the rest of the Muppet Gang tonight' ! They must be doing another Advertisement.

And it IS Eric's Piggy.

See ya

Hi Guys,

That's great News. But 1 question to ask you -:

1) Is this like "I love Muppets" but radio ?

Hey Warrick

It just means that they have already recorded all the intro bits and then the producer just stops the tape and plays in the music track, then starts the next bit of dialogue after it. Theres not much point going down there. I think they meant the links were being played 'as live'.

It sounds like a great show and Muppetdanny, it's not like 'I Love The Muppets' - it's more the Muppets answering viewers emails and playing some of their favourite chart music tracks.

Danny,

95.8 FM

This is all getting very exciting. I guess they recorded this in the states but if the character list is correct then they got quite a few of the puppeteers together for this.
