Greetings All,

WHPW-lp in Harpswell Maine is in the process of testing our equipment and
will begin airing locally produced programming by Dec. 01.

We have had a wave of interest from potential producers.  One of those is a
singer/songwriter who is proposing a show in which they are the host and
also all of the material played/performed is their own.  I have concerns
that this could be very close to if not over the line of what might be
considered self promotion or "plugola".  I'm certainly not an expert on
this so I'm asking for input and opinion from those who may have faced a
similar type of question with their stations. Being a public access
community station, we don't want to dampen the enthusiasm of those who wish
to participate. But we also don't want to run afoul of the regulations that
we are bound to through our licensing.  Your insight and counsel on this
subject would be much appreciated.  Thanks,


John Halpin
