I already emailed the old head of programming, Richard, at the end of last term.. and after much headache I was able to meet up with him. He'd been giving me the slip for a while so when I finally caught up with him he was fairly eager to satisfy our demands. So we've got 4 shows so far, provisionally for rock, metal, punk/ska, and goth/industrial.
The following email I sent at the end of Trinity has the rest of the details:

Whether or not we're getting 2 hours I think should be dependent upon the availability of presenters. Even if all the shows are 1 hour long, going from just one 2-hour show last year to four 1-hour shows this year isn't bad at all.
If you want to produce the shows, that would be great.. Of all the presenters this year I think Dan is the only one who's done it before, so it'd be good to have someone else who knows the ropes.
