WTBR-FM Advisory Boards and Committees
Community Advisory Board:
The CAB is established so that WTBR-FM may benefit from community feedback on programming, guidance on policy decisions and assistance in fundraising. It is intended that this board will provide meaningful input to the Licensee and Station Management that results in better public service. The Community Advisory board nominates and appoints qualified public members of the Programming Committee, and retains the power to remove Programming Committee members for cause.
