Pros

Great experience and opportunity to get involved in public broadcasting. Early on goals were mission driven to provide a service to the public that was thoughtful and insightful. There are a lot of passionate professionals both in front of and behind the microphone who's combined efforts touched the hearts and minds of listeners each and every day.

Cons

Lack of diversity in programming at the national level. Ongoing trend has been to cut support for programming that was geared to communities of color. National programming is loosing it's sense of community engagement and appears to be out of touch with smaller station markets.
