6) Traveling the Old North Shore and 6.5) Wavelengths: WTIP's Youth Advisory Board
6) Traveling the Old North Shore is a short feature that is focused on the history of the North Shore. Each feature will utilize historic, archival materials collected by the Cook County Historical Society. Content will center around the people, places and businesses within the North Shore region, including Grand Marais, Grand Portage, Hovland, Gunflint Trail, Lutsen, Tofte and other communities along the Shore.
6.5) Wavelengths: The goal of WTIP Community Radio's Youth Community Advisory Board is to engage new listeners in our area to participate in making local radio, through spoken word, musical performances and content creation. Youth engagement will be showcased through three, one-hour YCAB produced programs. WTIP developed a community advisory board (YCAB) for ages 8 - 30 in 2019, to help us expand our volunteer and listener base to engage a new demographic. Based on the Advisory Board's experience and recommendations, WTIP will work to identify relevant, new local content and share the work of young radio performers and programmers. By including the work of the YCAB on-the-air and encouraging and supporting a multi-platform approach to radio content creation, WTIP is fulfilling one of our long-term core values, which is to recognize the voices and perspectives of community members of all ages.
