And there are also some heart-wrenching news about the future of WRVU. Yesterday, VSC (Vanderbilt Student Communications Inc. - which owns WRVU) declared that they have been thinking about selling WRVU's broadcasting license, and use the incoming money funding the whole VSC student media. What this means is that, if it happens, WRVU will be an internet-only 'radio', in other words, WRVU Nashville 91.1 FM will be just wrvu.org. Various reasons have been presented by VSC for considering such a sale, ranging from the inevitable death of terrestial radio to most people using the wrvu.org to stream WRVU anyway. Although they do have some logic in their argument, one thing that should be noted is that WRVU is the oldest radio station in Nashville - the Music City USA.
If you want your comments to be heard, as a WRVU listener, the VSC board is willing to hear from you. All you have to do is to go to www.vandymedia.org/wrvu and post a comment below.
