For those of you just joining us, let me explain.  Rob from WREK proposed a
group for the discussion of non-commercial radio, largely for use by the
folks working in student radio stations.  Over the past few weeks
we've been debating content and naming of such a group.  One or two people
have made comments about this being too narrowly focused a group, in that
commercial broadcasters or TV people might want to be included.  We have
been close to a consensus on what we want.

In response to a post by welty@lewis.crd.ge.com (richard welty), it was
pointed out that this might be too narrow a group to merit it's own newsgroup.
However, it seems to me that we've almost figured out what we want.  I suspect
that richard simply wanted to make the discussion a bit more widely known,
and draw more folks into the discussion.  He seems to have succeeded.

Shall we continue?

William
