Q: Why join College Broadcasters, Inc.?

A: CBI represents students involved in radio, television, webcasting and other related media activities. With a commitment to cooperative efforts, CBI is bringing more resources to the members of the organization. These resources are technical, legal, organizational promotional and political. The listserv provides students, advisers and professional staff members a forum to share ideas and ask questions. Answers to questions come from all perspectives, including peers, industry professionals and even the FCC.

• Membership also entitles stations to send students to the annual National Student Media Convention at a discount. If you send enough members, the savings will more than pay for membership.
• And don’t forget the awards! Each year at the national convention, CBI honors student work through the National Student Production Awards. Member stations get a discount on entry fees. 
• CBI has a growing list of partners who offer discounts on top of their normally discounted prices for educational stations. These discounts often more than offset the cost of membership.
• The email listserv to connect with students, advisers and professionals in broadcasting and allied fields.
• Newsletter. The CBI newsletter is sent to stations (more than 1,200) across the nation four times per year.
• True representation and advocacy. CBI has advocated for our members to the FCC, Copyright Royalty Board and SoundExchange. 
• Networking. CBI partners with many local, regional and national organizations. Your membership allows you access and visibility to representatives from these organizations.
