Concept

The concept for Channel 15 Radio (dot com) came from the story that got us started: The Ambassador. There are 15 lead characters. The idea of a radio station – that might somehow extend out into the universe – seemed perfect for an old-fashioned, theatrical audio show. It was also perfect for the idea of slowing down and listening.

In the real world, Channel 15 is a CB channel open to everyone. It’s also a Maritime channel – receive only for emergency beacons. And, it’s a digital channel for TV.

In May 2025, we won a Corporate Live Wire Innovation and Excellence Award for our work on The Ambassador.

We’re currently developing the Artist Anthology series hosted by Jennifer Bonaparte and working with Sam Citron to promote his award-winning TV shows for seniors, Senior Care Home Entertainment.

We’ll be back to work on Episode 2 of The Ambassador soon.

From “The Ambassador: Chapter 6 – The Old Guard”

B’ani had been listening carefully. She leaned towards Maru and whispered, “She doesn’t have a plan, does she?”
“I don’t think so, not yet,” Maru whispered. She shook her head.
B’ani lowered her head. “Oh great. We’re out here wherever that is and…,”
Maru grinned and shrugged. “Sit back and enjoy the show?”
B’ani leaned back in her chair and held out her hand. “Where’s the popcorn?” she asked.
They both giggled.

Class C EPIRBs

These are manually activated devices intended for pleasure craft which do not venture far offshore and for vessels on the Great Lakes. They transmit a short burst on VHF-FM channel 16 (156.8 MHz) and a longer homing signal on channel 15 (156.75 MHz). Their usefulness depends upon a coast station or another vessel guarding channel 16 and recognizing the brief, recurring tone as an EPIRB. Class C EPIRBs are not recognized outside of the United States. These EPIRBs were no longer recognized after 1999, and are no longer recommended by the Coast Guard.

Tell me a story
of princesses and kings
with swords and jewels
and magical things
where the heroes could be me
and the tales they tell
of worlds far away
carry me home.
