University of Tennessee’s college radio station WUTK 90.3 FM is living on borrowed time as far as its aging transmitter goes. In the midst of a fundraising campaign in order to replace the transmitter and console (to a tune of $25,000 for both), the station is hoping to reach more listeners in the Knoxville area when the money is secured.
According to a piece on Knoxville.com, “WUTK’s transmitter tower, which sits high atop Andy Holt Tower, is in such a state that it can’t be repaired.” The station’s main fundraising push will launch on October 1, coinciding with College Radio Day.
