PROGRAMME DIRECTOR'S REPORT        for board meeting Nov 14 1997
Barb Woolner

What has Happened?

* I am still in the process of scheduling weekend programming and 
     contacting those who proposals have not been selected.  I have 
     been meeting with applicants to chat about how they can be 
     involved at Trent Radio.  Some new shows have been added to the 
     schedule since the printing of Trout Rodeo. 

* Trout Rodeo is at the printer.  Copies of the programme schedule 
     insert have been circulation.  The Arthur has contacted me about 
     printing the schedule in an upcoming issue.  Tim will add some of 
     the changes before submitting. 

*  Update on the Ontario Work Study Positions filled (Note: these 
are students I have hired and work with)

     Training and Production Support - Brendan Edwards
     Music Archving Magician - Kash Sayed

Both of these people are working out well in their jobs.  Please 
note that Sahver Kuzucuoglu has resigned due to too many prior
commitments.

What is Happening?

* There is a Radio Project Day on Tuesday November 18.  Radio Art Day 
     is being coordinated by Kristina Rawlings. 

* Radio Cafes are stalled indefinitely.

* Update on the Anthropology and Tourism class, programmes will air at 
     the end of this month. 

* Update on the idea is for Activity Haven (a recreation programme for 
     seniors) to have a radio club.  This project has been put on the 
     back burner due to lack of time on my part to commit to the 
     initiation of this project. 

* Update on the Katimivik project in Peterborough.  One Participant 
     (Frederick) will be coming to Trent Radio for a two week period 
     (starting Monday November 17) for an interest project.  
     I anticipate  that the will work with the Operators and Co-op 
     students for the first week and find a project of his own for the 
     second. 

* Update on Pinewood Alternative School has made connections with me 
     via a Trent Radio Programmer (Esther Caldwell). Possibilities for 
     their students at Trent Radio was brought up at the parents' 
     meeting October 26 and I will be presenting a session with them 
     in early January.
