I - Approved draft minutes for May 31, 2005 Program Council Meeting with one modification: Add Dev Ross to the list of excused absences.
II -Program Council issued 12 month contracts for the following music programs on completion of evaluation: Earth Songs, Dead To The World, The Bonnie Simmons Show, Musical Colors ,Transitions on Traditions and the Early Morning Music editions with the following hosts: Kevin Vance and Lewis Sawyer. The guest slot and the Friday slot currently filled by Eddie Pay were not evaluated at this time, and the overnight slot hosted by Peja Peja will be reviewed with the rest of the overnight music slots.
The program council discussed the purpose of evaluations and what role the process plays in future work to be done on grid ecology and dealing with pending proposals for new programs. Discussion to be continued.
III - Suggested two possible minor format changes to address grid inconsistencies.
A) Moving Free Speech Radio News to a 3:30pm daily broadcast and moving Cover to Cover to a 3pm daily broadcast. This was described as providing a more compatible lead-in for both shows. The question of how the news headlines at the start of Hard Knock Radio would work in this new format was presented. PA director will research possibilities and bring them to June 14th PC meeting for approval.
B) Moving Radio Chronicles - an arts and literature program - to the Sunday evening arts block for broadcast from 6:30 to 7:30pm and moving the Bill Mandel/Pushing Limits programming to Friday afternoons at 2:30 - with Counterspin moving from 3:00 to 2:00, and opening a 30 minute Friday edition of Cover to Cover for book talk with a rotating format. PA Director to discuss with all involved programmers and will bring responses and feedback to the June 14th PC meeting for further discussion.
IV- Sunday Salon Update: GM presented continuing schedule for Matt Gonzalez to host the program until Larry Bensky's anticipated return sometime in July.
V - Proposal to begin broadcasting differentiated programming on KPFB on afternoons and weekends. Programming would be youth-oriented and the station would put together a KPFB-specific advisory council to review the options. Reported that a trial run on differentiated broadcasting on KPFB on a weekday afternoon resulted in only one listener calling in. Research needs to be done on FCC concerns.
VI - Energy Town Hall scheduled for a teaser program with excerpts on the June 19th broadcast of Sunday Salon and full broadcast on July 4th from 10am to 2pm. The Program Council asks that About Health be offered the day off, so that the new Feminism Journal can avoid pre-emption and broadcast at 2pm that day - as they are on a 13 week contract.
VII - East Meets West: Buddhism in America rebroadcast remanded to June 14th meeting.
