Community advisory board

Community advisory board

All meetings of the "community advisory board" for the NC Center for Public Television (the Board of Trustees of the Center) are open to the public. I have never seen an announced open meeting of WUNC's "community advisory board", whose members are selected on the basis of the sole judgment of the general manager and a willingness to give money. The public television "advisory board" is obliged to be far more represenative of the community (the state) it serves, and does not appear to depend on the preferences of a single individual. Which model sounds more appropriate for a publicly-owned public radio station?
