Urban Unrest

One of the biggest requests from various bodies has been evaluations. During the drive, I got several requests from programmers for evaluations as well. Starting in September, I will undergo what I will call a program assessment for a few programs that have specifically requested an evaluation on how they’re doing, suggestions for improvement, etc.The process: I will randomly choose one of your (drive and non-drive) programs each month for the last eight months, then review it for programmer presence, microphone/voice work, content/relevancy, promotion of KPFT, engineering, news/public affairs or music categories (depending on your show), and additional factors/mission. The assessment I use is based on the one used by KBOO in Portland. Once I am done, I’ll schedule a meeting with the programmer and go over some things I heard/noted; I will do my best to save examples of items of mention.

If you are interested in participating in this first program assessment round (I expect it will take me about six weeks to review them all), please let me know. Programs that I have on my initial list (based on those who requested it): Son Pacifica, Progressive Forum, Howlin’ the Blues. If you told me and I forgot, please remind me. ideas on those categories would be appreciated!
