Time Slot Renewal Opportunity

Hi ExCom and All,

We need to make a decision on the LPSF TV show "The Libertarian Revolution." As Mike Denny had indicated, our show is not being aired on the time slot we thought we had. I stopped by the Access TV office to inquire and was told to call or e-mail, since the desk could not answer programming questions. I e-mailed, and left two messages for them to call me back. No response whatsoever. I know tapes are due, but since they will not accept tapes without airing dates written on them, I seem to be in a quandary. Now it is time to sign up for next year; please see form-letter type e-mail from Dina below. Our current membership expires 1/31/07.

Considering the labor intensiveness involved in this project, and the unknown benefit, I do not recommend renewing the membership ($36.00). But, I can change my mind if I hear a lot of interest and willingness to help publicize our program from you.

Marcy

Thanks Marcy. Do you want to talk about this on Saturday?

Justin

Hi Justin,

Yes, thank you. Maybe 5 minutes to consider the costs and benefits;
taking a vote whether to continue the show or not; and if vote is to
continue, who would like to take over bringing in the tapes (new
person needs to take an orientation class of one hour or so).
