This is the new website of the Future Broadcast Pioneers (FBP). The FBP is made up of two types of membership. The first category is current college and university students who wish to pursue a career in broadcasting or an allied field. The second category is made up of young broadcasters already working in the field, but lack the ten years of experience required for membership in the parent organization, the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia. These young broadcasters need not be college graduates or members of the FBP while in school. However, they must be working in broadcasting currently.
