What criteria do the PC use to determine which proposals are accepted?

Our standard operating procedure directs us in this manner and lists the following seven criteria in no specific order of importance:

1. Quality of proposal
2. Uniqueness of proposed program or relationship of proposal to providing diverse programming for WEFT and assisting the programming committee’s long term programming goals.
3. Airshifter’s commitment to the station in terms of length of time and amount of volunteer hours the airshifter has logged at the station.
4. Length of time the proposal has been under consideration.
5. Estimated cost of program production, if any, if produced in house. Actual cost of program acquisition if produced outside.
6. Perceived audience potential for the proposed program
7. An airshifter’s volunteer time to the time slot and show which s/he wishes to be granted, especially as an official co host (or member of a Collective).

May I propose with a co host? May I propose as a collective?

Yes on both counts. The PC has examples of successful program proposals for collectives that are available as a model upon request.

How many shows am I allowed to propose for and/or host?

You may propose for as many open slots as you like. However, to allow as many people to have a show on WEFT as possible, you may be an official host of only have one regular program (defined as a program you host or co host weekly) at a time. The PC, in the case of unfulfilled strip programming shifts, can make exceptions. Being an official host of a strip program does not exclude you from proposing for an open non strip slot, but more weight may be given to a proposal by an airshifter who has never hosted a show on WEFT.
