Moderated Chats - per event vs. long-term contracts?

Hi all,

A client is looking to set up an online moderated chat in conjunction with a
quarterly TV special they'll be having.  (The chat session will be during
the 1-hour program and for another hour beyond that - so a total of 2 hours
a quarter.)

I'm looking at hosted chat - don't want to mess with putting something up
myself.  We may be looking at a couple hundred people being on the session.

I've been investigating possible hosted chat services (BTW, thanks to all of
you who have contributed in the past - the hwg-techniques archives have been
very helpful).  HOWEVER, all the ones I've looked into look like they want a
monthly committment.  We just want to contract for the 2 hours/quarter.

All suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.  TIA ... .
