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 listservs provide 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 Electronic Media at a discount. If you send enough members (4), the savings will more than pay for membership.
  • And don’t forget the awards! Each year at the national convention, there are the awards! Each member station is entitled to enter the awards competition, with NO ENTRY FEE .
  • 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 1200) across the nation four times per year.
  • True representation. Did any organization that represents your interests seek your input concerning the requirement to RECORD ALL OF YOUR PROGRAMMING for 16 hours a day and retain those recordings for 60 – 90 days? CBI did and the input from its members were included in our comments before the FCC.
  • Networking. CBI partners with many local, regional and national organizations. Your membership allows you access and visibility to representatives from these organizations.
