November 12, 2025

Meeting Minutes

The regularly-scheduled meeting was called to order by Chairman Yoder at 5:32PM  All Committee members were present with the exception of James Mahoney who was in Tucson getting ready for a medical procedure, Kirk Reynolds who tendered his resignation, due to difficulty making it to meetings, in an email to Chairman Yoder, and Molly Harrico who also tendered her resignation via email, citing scheduling issues.

Guests included DJ appllicants Cara Bielass, Ryan Goode, and Sue Bumpus

1.) The Committee was informed of the resignations of Kirk Reynolds, Molly Harrico and Stephen Yoder, although the last will not go into effect until Thursday, November 13.

2.) The floor was opened to nominations for Committee chair.  There being no nominations or volunteers, the matter was tabled.

3.) Discussion of new DJ candidates and their demo recordings.

	Cara Bielass (“Down the Rabbit Hole”):  Cara’s application was approved unanimously.  Her live time slot will be 5:00-7:00 PM on Mondays.  This will displace a syndicated show (Counterspin), a 30-minute Meg Music Mix, and the Monday evening edition of Democracy Now!.  More on Democracy Now! later in the meeting.

	Sue Bumpus (“Grab and Go”):  Sue’s application was approved unanimously.  Her live time slot will be 10::00 AM to Noon on Mondays.  This displaces a 2-hour Meg Music Mix.

	Ryan Goode (“Kill Yr Idols”): Ryan’s application was approved unanimously.  His live show will be 10:00PM to Midnight on Thursday.  This displaces a 1-hour Meg Music Mix and the syndicated “Fiesta” program.

note: “Fiesta” and “Counterspin” will be rescheduled.

4.) Steve Moramarco asked to have his “What’s New” program extended from 60 minutes to 90 minutes.  The original time slot was 10:00-11:00AM on Wednesday.  This would change to 10:00-11:30AM on Wednesday.  This change will displace 30 minutes of a 1-hour Meg Classic Rock Music Mix.  This change was approved unanimously

5.) Rebroadcasts: Currently, none of the new programs, nor “What’s New” currently have scheduled rebroadcast times.  Between Syndicated programs and current rebroadcasts, we are simply running out of spots for new rebroadcasts.  This will have to be addressed by the Program Committee soon.

6.) A motion was made to start working on eliminating some syndicated programming to make room for more new DJ’d music shows.  The motion was approved unanimously.

7.) A motion was made to immediately eliminated the Monday evening rebroadcast of Democracy Now! to make room for Cara Bielass’s new program.  The motion passed with 4 in favor and 1 opposed.

8.) The motion was made to add profiles of our occasional DJs (those who do less-then-weekly shows, usually on DJ Open Mic) to the KBRPradio.com website.  The motion was defeated unanimously.

There being no other business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 6:32PM.

Respectfully submitted by:

Stephen Yoder
Program Committee Chair
