prevents you from pulling your shift is unavoidable, it is your responsibility to
find someone to cover the time. You will not be penalized for getting
someone to cover the shift, but the Program Director must be aware of all
changes prior to going on the air.
2. FM90 air personalities are required to be aware of and follow the FM90
Operations Manual, Amarillo College policies, Matney Mass Media policies, and FCC operational rules. Failure to comply with these regulations will result in
Immediate suspension from the air for an indefinite period of time.
