I - Announcements/Agenda/Administrative
Approved 9/27 minutes with no objections
Reviewed draft of program council letter regarding interactions with station collectives
II - Evaluations
Program council agreed that Cycle 6 PA committees would be released over the break over the e-mail so PC members could begin working on them. Luis and Tracy would work on getting the cycle 5 music program CD's distributed over the break, so those evaluations could be completed. Cycle VI music program committees will be distributed at the first PC meeting after the fund drive break.
Africa Today was approved for a year-long contract.
Pitch-A-Fit, Night Magic, Friday Night Vibe, and No Other Radio Network were approved for year-long contracts.
Roots Kommunication was approved for a year-long contract, with the proviso that a time change request was already approved by a previous program council and remains in effect.
The Late Night Hype and The Big Thang were approved for new contracts, with a six month check-in scheduled with the music director to assess progress on pending issues.
III - On-Going Programming
Review of the pilot demo tapes for Work Week and New Dimensions Redux were carried over to the November 1 meeting (post fund-drive).
Program Council looked at possibly re-engaging with the DN time change discussion. Straw poll results were evenly divided in desire to open the conversation or not. Discussion to continue.
IV - Special Programming
Program council discussed problems with the failure to broadcast the 9/24 anti-war rally. Issues came up ranging from equipment delivery problems to structural issues to communication problems. Discussed how the reasons/causes for the problem relate to and how PC can
(if it can) have an impact on any of them. Discussion to continue.
