[FFCF-PNA] PNA Minutes

Programming Committee Minutes      August 8, 2007
 
1.  Meeting called to order at 7 pm.  In attendance:  David Gendron, Rych
Withers, Randy Stover and guest John Pethel.
 
2.  Minutes of previous meeting approved.
 
3.  "Music for a Blue Planet" will be evaluated next month.
 
4.  Evaluation of "Move on Up":  The program received positive reviews on
the content and music.  Devoya's radio voice was singled out for praise as
well as the variety of subject matter on the show.  One observation was that
the volume level of the music soundbed sometimes makes it difficult to hear
the voiceover.
 
5.  The next evaluations are "Music for a Blue Planet" and "Down on the
Farm"
 
6.  Report on the "Cambodian Review"' :  The producer, Lay Prum, provided an
outline of a recent program.  The program content was a roundup of news
stories mainly about events in Cambodia and was found to be in keeping with
KFCF programming criteria.  It is the only Cambodian show in the area.  Most
of the other Asian programming in our vicinity is Hmong language
programming.   The time-frame of the show was also discussed.  The program
(9 pm to 11 pm on Fridays) begins halfway through La Onda Bajita and ends
halfway through History of Funk.  While this is not the most tidy
arrangement, there is no inherent problem with it.  The fans of the book end
shows get a little of what they like and the Cambodian show can continue on
the air.  Since it would present a personal hardship on the producer if the
program were moved to an earlier or later time slot, it was decided to keep
the programming arrangement in its current format.
 
7.  Discussed the upcoming AIDS in Fresno specials to be produced by Valley
Black Talk and broadcast on September 3. 10, 17 and 24.
 
8.  Other business:  Discussion of "Pipe Organ Showtime" to deal with recent
production and broadcast problems.  Discuused "Cold Turkey Shakes" and it's
future.  The main producer is moving out of town and we discussed whether
the program will have a future program once-a-month on KFCF with new
producers, or disappear from our airwaves.
 
9.  Next meeting will be on Wednesday, September 12 at 7 pm.
 
10.  Meeting adjourned at 7:50 pm.
