Programme Director's Report
Barb Woolner made mention of Barb Bell's radio marathon success. Tim
Cromey (a co-op student) acted as Interim Programme Director from
December 16 to 28. He was happy with the results overall, though he was
disappointed in the number of spoken word programmes produced during the
period. Listeners phoned in to say thanks for staying on the air.
Barbara Woolner suggested that Trent Radio could apply for a continuing
education course fee. She is planning a bowling social.

UPON A MOTION duly made seconded and carried, the reports by Barbara
Woolner and Tim Cromey were accepted.


Committees:

Fundraising & Special Events
About one thousand dollars was raised in total for the radio marathon.
Perhaps we could do this every year?

Propaganda & Publications
Dean Girard has created new volunteer forms. Tony Tarle is to work with
Dean on the new issue of the newsletter Trout Rodeo. The deadline for
submissions is February 3, 1997. John suggests that Dean create a how-
to-be-a-sponsor guide.

Special Programming
Franca Cioffi is trying to establish contacts with the Peterborough
Public Library, Trent A.V. and Trent Departments.  John Muir, Ian
Osborn and a Futures person may be employed to tape lectures for Trent
Departments. John will ask that Franca Cioffi be put on the Trent
communications distributions list.

Radio Reconnaissance & Outreach
Danielle Tassie plans to distribute T.R. propaganda to surrounding areas
after the power boost to solicit new listeners and maybe new
programmers.

General Manager's Report (JK Muir)
John Muir reports in the absence of Jean Reno or Andrew Cousins. A
discussion of the frequency change as a media event ensued. The new
Bell line is due on the 16th of January. The line will extend from
Trent Radio to T.V. Hill. John suggests that Trent Radio should start
to make plans for a future beyond the frequency change and power boost.
He suggested that we consider things such as digital audio and an
acoustically separate radio re-creation room acoustically separate.

UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried the reports by John
Muir, Dean Girard, Jean Reno, Danielle Tassie, and Franca Cioffi
were accepted.

Appointment of Vice-Chair
UPON A MOTION duly made, seconded and carried Dean Girard was
affirmed as the new Vice-Chair.

meeting to be held on February 7/97 at 2 p.m..
