Notes from Radio Meeting(01/09/10)

In attendance:

Matt Brier J. Stone Bill Engebretson John Hicks Martin Larsen David Link(via phone call-in)

Finances Update

• No income generated in last month.
• Underwriting rates have been added to the website.

"Underwriting packages start at the low price of $100 per month for 20 prime-time(5:00pm-midnight Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 8:00AM-midnight Saturday and Sunday) mentions or $70 for 20 overnight mentions(Midnight-6:00AM Monday-Friday, midnight-8:00AM Saturday and Sunday).

Prepay six months and receive a 5% discount, prepay for a year and receive a 10% discount."

At Bill's suggestion and with full support of all in attendance an additional 'Introductory Offer' will be added to the website wherein a client can get the first three months at half price to 'test the waters.'

Our current plan is to focus on Fern Creek businesses, but certainly reach out to other businesses in Louisville as well.

• The first steps in implementing sustaining memberships for radio have been put in place. Matt has setup a Paypal account linked to Radio's bank account. As soon as it has been confirmed(Monday or Tuesday) we will be adding those options to the website.

Promotion

• The current tri-fold flyer is in need of updating. Matt has taken this task.

• Theatre - ULYSSES' CREWMEN - We have been asked to stream this live on January 27th. Martin has volunteered his services.

Brainstorming

• David offered that he has the resources to help business record their own spots for underwriting if they so desire.
• David offered that he has a live dial-in number available for anyone interested in doing a call in talk show.
• We are looking at a future calendar date to pull some of the show producers together to do a skills share with anyone interested in doing radio.
• J and Martin offered that they are working on several shows to be included in the broadcast - Local music, Global music, and Best of Noize bands.
