Fact checking _ work of the Program Director

Do you know what a program director does, John? I do -- my father was one for many years at radio stations in San Francisco, Tuscon, and Pittsburgh.

It would be much more interesting to be more empirical. Jim, you know your technical stuff and you are very personable (collegial). You and Bob (Laughton) have a very good program "Point and Click."
1)What, in your view, is the work of a Program Director? I'd like us to be more scientific about the discussion, which includes laying out what the discussion is about. 
Some questions for Jim:
And also, to understand this we need to know more about your Dad's experience. I don't mean these questions to be personal. But the nice thing about your Dad's experience is that it actually happened!
2) What kind of technology did he use?
3) What was the demographic of his stations? Size of potential listening audience? Power of the transmitters 
5) Were they commercial or public or community stations, urban or rural.
Thanks for bringing this discussion down to earth.
