[rfu-membership] Re: [RFU] Information on Re-Start of AON Radio

[Mike Lehman]

Hi Will,
The RFU-Membership group discussed AON's interest in resuming production 
of a show on WRFU today at our meeting.

There was great concern about letting AON resume production, due to the 
issues with this programming group last spring at WRFU. There seemed to 
be no control of the show's content by any of those responsible to the 
RFU membership for ensuring that AON complies with all FCC and RFU rules 
and policies. There was no response to attempts by the membership to 
communicate our concerns to AON. And the same violations were repeated 
on the next show, leading to loss of your air time on WRFU.

The RFU-Membership group will be proposing at Tuesday's RFU meeting that 
AON be allowed to reapply for a show slot in April 2008, a year after 
your programming group was removed from the air for the issues I noted 
above. If AON chooses to reapply and is granted a time slot, you will 
start your new show under an automatic 3-month probation period, during 
which any FCC or RFU policy violation will result in permanent loss of 
access to WRFU air time for all those involved in the AON programming 
group. After the 3-month probation period is over, all FCC and WRFU 
rules and regulations will still be observed and enforced, just as they 
are for all WRFU shows.

I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, as we want RFU to be available to a 
wide variety of diverse voices in our community. However, our previous 
work together raises concerns that AON should never again threaten the 
access RFU gives to all these other voices by any repeat of AON's 
previous on-air conduct and content violations. We'll be discussing this 
proposal at the Tuesday night meeting at 8pm in the IMC Family Room.
