absence/automation policy – clear up in code for training manual

— First move is to contact these people
— Emphasize this in training, that automation is not a replacement
— Emphasize recording evergreen shows, not great but it is a better last resort
— Maybe establish how many absences is okay, a threshold?
— With or without a sub
— OR With or without proper procedure
— Or a mandatory minimum attendance? 50 % 70% 90% 100%
— We will keep working on this.
@wesu emails / @gmail (NB) where are we at with this?
— working on it
Bumper CD/playlist? (Ben) New idea – to play between shows as buffer and promotional tool – would help with promotions for rec fair, special events, underwriting announcements, etc…
— not a new idea in radio, but would really help us out
— transition playlist—but more formal!
— more orchestrated transistions
— help us promote better and make better transitions
— something to think about
— really easy to make it a cd and a playlist for both use cases
— step towards automated shows between breaks
— increasing automation use
Note to staff on alternating schedule…(BM) Necessary??
Sunday staff meeting (MB)
— any announcements people want to make?
— no BM, many family responsibilities
