Martin testified that he helped out each year in the station's coverage of the Gay 

Lesbian Pride Rally. (Tr. 210).   The coverage is produced by a collective called Out FM, which 

produces a weekly program every Sunday night related to gay issues.  The collective is composed

of from 15 - 20 people, who, in varying numbers, produce the show. (Tr. 209).  Outside of the

services without compensation. (Tr.214).

         Martin testified that he had substituted for a paid employee some 10 or 12 years ago

and was paid at the time. (Tr. 244).

         Mimi Rosenberg, an unpaid producer who had been at the station for 28 years amplified
