Educational radio has shown its strength not only by surviving the first years of television's development, but also in emphasizing those facets of broadcasting in which it can serve best. Music, lecture, drama, and news all have remained entertaining, informative, and stimulating means of communication via radio. WFSU-FM has attempted to bring its listeners the best in each of these areas as a year-round service. Your comments and criticisms indicate to us how well we have succeeded and in which ways we can provide a better service. They are welcome and needed.
