I want to build a site for my local community radio station in Drupal 7 (specifically want to try out D7 - so don't mind using dev versions of contrib modules were necessary).
The requirements are basic with the only dynamically changing content on the site being the display in a block of the show currently on air show and a picture of the presenter of that show. And a view of the schedule of shows during the week.
It would be good for each show to have it's own page where there can be blog and other custom content for that show.
Any advice please on how to best build content types and relate shows to presenters?
Also any advice on how to build the schedule (events with duration? or events with start and end time?)?
Thanks for any advice.

Station Module
Take a look at the Station module. It can do a lot of what you want, however it is for Drupal 6 at the moment.

@websesame - Thanks.
I am going to try this in D7 as I don't even need all of the functionality of the station module. Main focus is around programmes, presenters and schedule. I do want to add a lot of social networking features. I'm trying to figure out Organic groups to see if it would be a good fit to make each programme a group. There's a D7 version but the documentation is non-existent and configuration is not intuitive.
Thanks

Lately I've been focusing on the 7.x-2.x branch of the FullCalendar module, I'd check it out: http://drupal.org/project/fullcalendar
From what I understand
From what I understand "Program " is a content type. You may only create a Group and assign content type which may be posted into the group. right ? A Program can not really be agroup but it can be a group node.
