College Radio Watch: WUEV Sale Paperwork Filed, KSPU Tour and More News

Touring KSPU at Seattle Pacific University

I love visiting college radio stations and it’s been awhile since I’ve had a new report. Last week I published an article about my tour of Seattle Pacific University’s KSPU. The online station has a tiny, but active staff who oversee big projects like quarterly campus events, concerts, and a blog full of music and show reviews. It’s hard to believe this is my 157th radio station tour report.

Paperwork Filed for WUEV License Sale

Paperwork has been filed with the FCC for the sale of the FM license for University of Evansville’s college radio station WUEV to Way Media. According to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the sale price is $150,000. In its application, Way Media indicates that it holds licenses for 21 FM radio stations across the country, from Florida to Colorado.

Religious broadcaster WAY-FM “…is a family of listener-supported radio stations based in Colorado Springs, CO,” according to its website. Its programming airs on more than 50 frequencies around the United States.

It’s unclear what the future looks like for radio at University of Evansville, but the call letters “WUEV” are listed as an excluded asset in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

I’ve heard from students and alumni who are displeased with the WUEV license sale and will take a closer look at this story in the weeks to come.
