[rfu-automation] Automation Group notes, July 1, 2009

[Stephen Fonzo]

Present: Stephen Fonzo, Jacob Barton, Lori Serb

*New Manuals:
*- Automation/Music Library
- PSA Guide
- Airshifter Handbook (latest edit, in progress)

*PSAs
*- Farmer's Market (source of sponsorship?): play all summer/fall
- UBA/Sweetcorn Festival (August 28-29)
Question: Can we identify sources of underwriting via PSAs or
announcements?  These should be seasonal, so it's not constantly repeating
all year.
- Procedure for responding to PSA requests and inquiries (29 seconds; 58
seconds for IMC/WRFU announcements)

*WRFU Shows
*- Have every show do a short ad/spot within a month of starting show
- These could be combined with station IDs
- Create an evergreen file for every show, so that if someone does not come
in for their show, a pre-recorded show will air (there would still be
preference for live shows)

*Public Affairs
*- Fix Mumia's broadcast (contact source; in the meantime, download episodes
manually)
- Add local programming slot to automation (open this to one-time, live
shows)

*Scheduling
*- Coordinate non-live and live hours with WRFU Membership working group
* There was much discussion about membership and scheduling issues and
questions (finding show substitutes, announcing absence, using absent
openings for other live purposes, etc.)
