Running a Non-profit community TV station

Funny thing happened to me a few months back. Out of the blue, without really looking for it, I landed a job as the technical director for a new local community TV station. I have an electronics degree, 17 years experience in I.T. and 4 years in videography. The technical aspect, I can get by with. Worst-case scenario, I know where to ask to get info. However, the task description is rather vague and large. The responsibilities are also enormous.
This TV station is just starting out, and a lot of things (infrastructure and procedures) have to be in place before it's official opening in September. Generally, I know what needs to be done, budget permitting. However, no one here really has true experience in RUNNING a TV station. We all get by in general. But I fear that this inexperience may cause us some problems in the future. Granted, it is a community TV station, and not a full broadcast big gun like NBC or ABC, etc. But some basic and common principles must be followed nevertheless.
I’d be interested in getting all sorts on information pertaining to this whole situation. If any of you can share information, or point me to other sources of information such as books and Internet resources, it would be greatly appreciated.
