UE Community Input Needed Regarding the Potential Sale of WUEV

The University has received an offer from an interested party to purchase the campus radio station, WUEV, a non-commercial station broadcasting at 6100 watts on the frequency 91.5 FM. If the station is purchased, the University may investigate replacing WUEV with a station broadcasting exclusively to the UE campus. Currently, there are no academic ties between WUEV and a UE academic program, nor ties with the Center for Student Engagement.

Will you please share your input to assist in considering pros and cons of this endeavor?

For example, pros of selling the station might include generating additional income for the University, reducing expenses and reallocating space occupied by WUEV in Olmsted for other programs. Cons could include the fact that the station has a long history of providing service to the campus and community as well as the broadcast of both men and women Division I athletics events.
