WREK Town Hall Meeting TODAY 11AM

The WREK Town Hall Meeting will be held today, April 17 from 11AM-12PM in the Campanile Plaza on the Tech campus. A "Pre-Town Hall Meet and Greet" will be held immediately beforehand, from 10-11AM, and a post-meeting show fill run from 12-1PM immediately afterward.

The meeting will feature a discussion about WREK's future, including the WREK 2007-2010 Strategic Plan (PDF), which is posted on WREK's website. Here is a brief summary of the Strategic Plan taken from the WREK website:

WREK has been profoundly shaped by Georgia Tech and its student body. Founded by Tech students in 1968 as a noncommercial educational station operating in tandem with the Institute’s mission to educate and serve the public, WREK is run by students who exemplify the initiative, creativity, leadership, and engineering excellence that Tech nurtures.

WREK wants to shape a future that envisions us as a leader among independent, student-run college radio stations. We will achieve this by keeping the station on the cutting edge of radio technology and positioning ourselves as an important and original source of ideas, information, and entertainment for both Tech’s campus and the growing public it serves.

Update (9:40AM): WREK will broadcast the meeting live and will also stream webcam video of the meeting at the WREK website, www.wrek.org.

Another Update (Wed, 4:10PM): If you missed the broadcast, you can listen to it here on the WREK Archive until it is automatically erased next Tuesday.

More on the RCB/PBA-AETC Meeting

Today's Technique has an article on last week's RCB meeting with PBA/AETC. As reported earlier by Adam Preble, AETC stated that they would like to assist WREK in fundraising and on technical issues, but they are not interested in leasing or taking over WREK's signal.

The article also mentions the upcoming "Town Meeting":

A town hall meeting will be held to allow the RCB to present the student body with the different options that were given by the three entities. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for the week of April 9.

That's next week. More details as they emerge.
