Programming Meeting Minutes 8.27.09

In attendance: Derek Goodwin, Keely Malone, Strong Oak, Tony Udell, Matt Alvey

NEXT MEETING is: Monday SEPT. 14th

This meeting was to review programmer re-application proposals. No other business was discussed. We did not assign any show time slots, only approval or denial of show proposals. Although we did give yes or no verdicts to each application, there is still one month left for programmers to fulfill station requirements in order for their show to be approved or denied for the next year. Shows below are categorized by the verdict and the requirements that need to be completed for the final approval of each show. Also note that these are just the Programming Committee recommendations to the board, who will make the final decisions.
