WESU board of Directors Agenda
program guides – let’s get (Tri)folding!
-TM-didn’t find coverage first show, sent out an email, no one covered it, so person after him turned up automation and he entered automation into spinitron (did he actually do this?)-further disciplinary action? Service hour?
-didn’t know standard procedure about turning up automation, emailed the DJ before him and the DJ said he would turn up automation
-knew he was supposed to find coverage and he didn’t (he thought that automation was coverage-as long as there was something playing on air, that would suffice-Rick encourages TM not to have a defeatist attitude in life)
-BM asserts that the reason that TM was suspended was because the board had to investigate why TM wasn’t at his show
-board encourages TM to pre-record his show
