    CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS MINUTES RADIO BOARD MEETING #01 19 8 3-84 TERM. _ 21 JULY 19 8 3 MSU FIRESIDE LOUNGE 11:00 A.M. Call to Order Chairman Jimenez g^JJ^dL-the first meeting of the 1983-84 Radio Board to order at 11:09 a.m. Roll Call Members in Attendance Others in Attendance Senator Long KUNV General Manager John Wennstrom Charles Martin KUNV Program Director Bruce Dyer Rafael Villanueva Tony West III. Announcements Chairman Jimenez distributed to board members a KUNV informa-tion packet. IV. Reports A. General Manager KUNV General Manager John Wennstrom addressed the board. He noted the attendance of the full board at this meet-ing was an excellent sign. He gave a report of the back-ground of the radio station, explaining it had taken at least twelve years to get the station on the air. He told the board the station license is held by the Board of Regents and that CSUN acts on behalf of the regents in operating the station. He explained that the station bylaws require that at least three quarters of all produc-tion positions be held by students, the program director is a student and as many positions as possible are filled by students. The overall cost of building the station amounts to about $200,000. All but $40,000 of that amount has been paid and the station has a $40,000 loan. The station can be operated with about 60,000 1982 dollars. The station has requested for this year's budget $51,000 in student fees and plans to generate $30,000. $30,000 has already been raised for moving the transmitter. KUNV has at this time $38,000 in cash allocated for moving the transmitter. Any excess will go toward the first loan payment. The loan will be repayed in $3,000 quarterly installments, the first installment to be made after the transmitter has been moved. The trans-mitter was to have been moved by 01 August but now a I. II. UNIVERSH Y OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS/4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY/LAS VEGAS, NV 89154/(702) 739-3477 19 8 3-84 RADIO BOARD MEETING #01 MINUTES CONTINUED PAGE 2 more realistic date is late September or October. Dr. Goodall has been informed of this change. Wennstrom predicts two thirds of the station's operating expense can be paid with generated revenue after the loan has been paid. In two to three years the station may need only from $15,000 to $40,000 in student fees annually. Wennstrom reported the FCC had recently changed its rules to allow noncommercial stations to rent their subcarriers. In a year the station will publicly announce its subcarrier is available for rent. This year the station has a one year contract with High-lights, Inc., for the experimental rental of the sub-carrier. The arrangement is only experimental because normally the state must allow for bids on items such as this. In future years income from the rental of the subcarrier may directly offset student fees revenue used by the station. B. Program Director KUNV Program Director Bruce Dyer addressed the board. Dyer distributed a report on area station rankings. KUNV is sixth in the valley for 14 to 17 year olds, sixth for 18 to 24 year olds and fifth for 25 to 34 year old males of twenty stations. Dyer explained the KUNV office was fairly unorganized when he began serving as PD but is now becoming more professional. The station has introduced a new poetry show and a travel show and is working on a comedy show. The station would like to form a basketball team to compete with other local stations. When the transmitter is moved the entire valley will be able to pick up a clearer signal for KUNV. Robert Holliday is the Urban Sunrise producer, Tom Hawley is the jazz'producer and Jim Hooper is the rock producer. Dyer has worked at KUNV for about two years. General Manager Wennstrom explained the station broadcasts a Sportspage twice weekly. The station covers four sports seasons yearly with play by play coverage. This includes high school basketball and football, UNLV Lady Basketball and UNLV baseball. The station covers about 80 games a year which makes them number one in the valley for local coverage. When the station dropped news it bolstered its public affairs broadcasting. The station also serves three demographic groups no other station in the area serves. (Black, Hispanic, Senior Citizens) Because KUNV is locally programmed the DJs have a lot of artistic control. The station runs PSAs at least twice per hour, giving priority to CSUN and UNLV events. The station is looking forward to working as closely as possible with the Entertainment and Programming Board. Senator Long commented he would be able to act as a liaison as he has been nominated for a position on the E&P board. V. Old Business There was no old business. 19 8 3-84 RADIO BOARD MEETING #01 MINUTES CONTINUED PAGE 3 New Business A. FY84 Radio Station (901) Budget RajEael Villanueva moved to approve the FY84 budget submitted by General Manager Wennstrom._ /Tony West sec-onded the motion. TDllscussIon "TOOK place". Wennstrom ex-plained the station will only spend for travel for sports coverage an amount equal to the amount donated for that purpose. He also pointed out a program guide will not be published unless adequate funds for print-ing are raised but that this is an important item for KUNV because unlike other stations, KUNV is a multi-format station. The electrical power expense may not be this high because after the move air conditioning is included in the rent expense and the total amount of power needed in the new location cannot be accurate-ly predicted. The motion passed UQanimously. A copy request is attached. B'.v/Approval of FY84 Fundraising Guidelines General Manger Wennstrom presented to the board a pro-posal for fundraising procedures. SejQa.tox,--I3ong-moved to approve the adoption of these guidelines, effective 2T~August 1983, with the understating that station management would work presently toward implementing these guidelines as soon as possible. Charles Martin seconded the motion. Discussion took place. Wennstrom explained that these procedures are in addition to procedures already established by UNLV and the CSUN business office and that all standing procedures will also be followed. Wennstrom explained that although the policy prevents salesman from accepting cash in the field he is reluctant to prevent salesman from accepting checks and money orders in the fields be-cause the most important skill of a salesman is closing a deal - actually getting a check. In light of this he proposed a procedure involving a donation form which will be numbered and checked out and will serve as temporary receipts. Field solicitation accounts for about 30% of the station's generated revenue. This procedure covers general operating grants, underwriting and paid commercials. New FCC rules allow noncommercial stations to sell commercials to noprofit organizations. The form attached to the proposal will be revised and submitted at the next meeting. The motion passed unanimously. A copy of the proposal is attached. General Manager Wennstrom presented to the board a proposal for the FY84 fundraising strategy (see attached). Tony West moved to approve the proposal. Senator Long "seconded the /notion. Discussion took place.

Tony West seconded the motion. Discussion took place. Wennstrom explained the station was inspected by the FCC three weeks ago and the biggest complaint was the station's logs and that this policy should help alleviate the problem. The motion to approve the proposal and the affadavit passed unanimously. E. Official Response of FCC Visit, If Required The response of the FCC has not been received yet. VII. Open Discussion The board discussed the transmitter move and future meeting times. Wennstrom announced he would be on vacation 12 through 2 8 August. Wennstrom invited the board members to listen to KUNV and provide feedback. X, Adjournment Chairman Jimenez adjourned the meeting to the call of the chair at 12:39.
