A REVIEW OF KUNV'S ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE STRUCTURE BY REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CORPORATION OF PUBLIC BROADCASTING CONFIRMED MY LONG EXISTING POSTURE THAT THE POSITION OF PROGRAM DIRECTOR SHOULD BE RECLASSIFIED TO PROFESSIONAL STATUS DUE TO THE BROAD RANGE OF STATION RESPONSIBILITIES ENCOMPASSED UNDER THIS JOB TITLE. BY RECLASSIFYING PROGRAM DIRECTOR TO A PROFESSIONAL POSITION AND ELIMINATING THE POSITION OF OPERATIONS MANAGER, WE WOULD ACHIEVE CONSOLIDATING THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DIRECT AND COORDI-NATE FORMAT, TRAFFIC, PRODUCTION, MUSIC POLICY, AND ANNOUNCING IS.

KUNV WOULD MAINTAIN THE PRESENT TWO (2) STUDENT POSITIONS; TITLES WOULD BE CHANGED TO (1) ASSISTANT PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND (2) PRODUCTION DIRECTOR. THESE STUDENT POSITIONS WOULD SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF OPERATIONS NOT ABSORBED BY THE PROGRAM DIR-DIRECTOR AND BOTH POSITIONS WILL REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR. THE P.D. (PROGRAM DIRECTOR) WOULD ACT AS AN ASSISTANT TO THE GENERAL MANAGER, COVERING ALL AREAS OF THE RADIO STATION'S OPER-ATIONS AND DUTIES AND WOULD ACT AS "SECOND IN COMMAND" IN THE ABSENCE OF THE GENERAL MANAGER. COMPENSATION FOR THE POSITION OF PROGRAM DIRECTOR WOULD COME OUT OF THE FUNDS NOW BUDGETED FOR THE OPERATIONS MANAGER. FUNDING FOR THE STUDENT POSITIONS WOULD REMAIN AS PRESENTLY BUDGETED.
