[Imc] Fill the hole locally (fwd)

[Danielle Chynoweth]

Pardon me if this is a repeat idea.  I think the IMC should propose to
fill some of these holes.  We could also propose to fill the first 15-30
minutes of all of them with weekly local stories.

We'll miss the PC meeting tonight, but I will bring this up at the next
IMC meeting and we can approach the PC after that.

Subject: Fill the hole locally

Dear WEFTies,

When the "Friday Forum" (Mondays 6-7pm on WEFT) goes on hiatus when the
semester ends, a tremendous opportunity opens up for WEFT to experiment
with new, locally generated programs.  These could be one-time-only
programs or a short series.  This time slot has traditionally featured
news and public affairs programs but since this hour is not protected by
strip programming, the Programming Committee will consider all
proposals, including special holiday and music programming.

Current open Monday night slots are:  11/20, 1127, 12/4, 12/11, 12/18,
12/25, 1/1, 1/9, 1/16, 1/23, 1/30.

Two WEFTies have already expressed an interest in proposing for one or
more of these Monday slots.  Thank you! There are still Monday slots
available.

Think about submitting a proposal in time for consideration at one of
the upcoming Programming Committee meetings:  11/9 and 12/14.  If you
need help, please contact me or any other member of the PC for
assistance in submitting a proposal.

Short of local programming ideas, the PC will likely fill the holes with
national public affairs programs.
