CMJ Covers the Possible Sale of WRVU
College radio can’t seem to catch a break lately, even in Music City as Nashville’s Vanderbilt University has proposed selling its WRVU broadcast license and switching to an internet-only format. This comes on the heels of San Francisco’s KUSF announcing its shift to the internet after more than 30 years of being on air. In similar outcry to the one that arose following the KUSF announcement, Vanderbilt University’s alumni refuse to stand for the proposition and are protesting the sale of their alma mater’s license.
The article refers to a web site dedicated to keeping WRVU “on air”, but doesn’t provide a link. Here is the link! http://savewrvuradio.wordpress.com/
