Yeah, having a subcommittee with a single reporting figurehead would probably work best.
The way I'm envisioning it, you'd have sub-programmers for:
Lit TV/Film Comics Anime Video Gaming Gaming Meta-Fandom Academic Stream
With possibly some crossover, if you had people who were knowledgable in multiple fields. They'd all have an allocated number of slots of fill, and then the head programmer (who could be one of the sub-programmers) could take all their work and put it together into the final programme.
Given that programmers typically end up having to devise a sizeable amount of the programme themselves, areas they don't know much about will typically be neglected (anime, for example, has been horribly neglected every year except - finally! - this one). This would hopefully sidestep that issue and give renewed focus to all of these areas at once.
