[rfu-membership] Membership Meeting Notes, Jan. 13, 2008

[Mike Lehman]

Attending: Noel, Mike

Discussed Janice's compilation of shows who are logging or sending 
proper notice of missed shows -- or failing to do that. Failing to log 
your show is a FCC violation. Failure to send notice of a missed show is 
a WRFU policy violation. Either one of these can result in show 
cancellation. Needless to say, about half the shows presently on the air 
could be immediately canceled at this point. As station manager, I am 
considering this if the situation doesn't improve immediately. Please 
remember that you MUST either show up to do your show and properly sign 
the log after doing the transmitter check OR you MUST send notice that 
you're missing your show to the RFU-Membership list.

We have been counting missed show notices sent to the main RFU list, 
however you should send missed shows notices only to 
rfu-membership at lists.chambana.net in the future so that we can more 
easily account for missed shows.

Please do NOT send missed show notices to the RFU-station list.

The current list of who has been properly logging their shows and who 
has not been is on the membership list that Janice compiled follows:
The format I'm using is # times logged/# times gave e-mail notice of not 
airing/# times not logged or given notice. Obviously we want the first 
number to be highest, followed by the second number and we should be 
shooting for “0” as the third number. I may have missed an e-mail notice 
for a show here or there (and if I did, I apologize), but this list 
shows the trends, starting with Sunday shows through those on Saturday.

Noel thought he'd done better than that and he may have something to 
add. However, as Janice pointed out, it does show a disturbing trend 
that could result in serious problems for the station. One suggestion 
that Noel had was that studio computer could be configured so that the 
dj MUST sign on before it would take down the automation and allow 
access to the air by those in the studio. Mike thinks this a good idea, 
but doesn't know how to implement it. It may just be easier to cancel 
shows that are not in compliance with proper logging or missed show 
notices. This would free up lots of air time.
