Emerson does not allow "community members" on air and hasn't for years.
Everyone who had a show was either an undergrad or a grad student and there
were rules about who could do a show-- the former GM, Fran Berger, ran a
very tight ship and made sure the station was run professionally, but
students absolutely ran it, under her authority (she was a faculty member,
for those who are not from Emerson and don't know all the players...) .
Talk to me off list for my theories about what is really going on at WERS,
but 'community members' are not the problem.
