[rfu-automation] Fwd: [grc] This International Women's Day - Support campus-community radio & locked-out CKLN programmers!

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

I'd like us to consider airing this programming either live on 11th  
(during times we don't have local programming) or later in the week,  
if we take the recorded versions.

Could Automation consider making a decision on this at its meeting  
this Saturday?

Thanks,

Andrew
