FAQ

What time is Pangea Day?

The 4-hour program will be broadcast live to the world on May 10th, 2008 from 2-6 p.m. EST (14:00-18:00, -4 GMT) through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.

How can I access the Live Program on Pangea Day?

There are three ways to watch the live Pangea Day program on May 10:

1) Television (local terrestrial or cable network): We expect hundreds of broadcasters around the world to carry the live program May 10, 2008. Watching a local broadcast is probably the most convenient option – and free unless the program is being carried on a cable network. We will post an initial list of broadcasters on this site in early April and continue to update it as new broadcasters sign on.

2) Satellite: We will be beaming our broadcast (unencrypted) via satellite around the world for free. You will need special equipment that can be expensive to rent – prices vary depending on region – if your venue is not already equipped. We will post the satellite coordinates on this site closer to the day of the event.

3) Digital/Internet: The Pangea Day broadcast will be streamed live on this site. It will be available for free to anyone who has an Internet connection, ideally a broadband or high-speed connection (cable or DSL) for best viewing.

Can Pangea Day pay for the satellite equipment or any other special equipment we might need?

Unfortunately, no. We do not have the funds to support local Friends of Pangea Day events. All arrangements for downlink, venue set-up, screens, and associated costs are the responsibility of the local organizer and/or venue.

Can we charge people for watching Pangea Day at our event?

No. Pangea Day cannot be used as a commercial endeavor to make money for the local organizer or venue. The Pangea Day broadcast is intended to be freely available to everyone.
