The public is invited to attend and there is no charge for admission. The format will be in the style of a presidential debate. Each participant will be at a podium, make opening and closing statements and answer questions from the moderator and the audience. This is the one time each year that the entire WIP airstaff is on the same stage together.  In the past Debates, fireworks exploded as the members of the WIP airstaff challenged one another about where the Birds were in their quest toward a championship and what key pieces were most important.  With the 2011-12 season in jeopardy and the Birds going through so many changes, this year's Great Debate may make for the most explosive episode yet!
