LPFM shut down in Wausau

A

audio4tv

WNRB-LP, Wausau, Wisconsin, has gone silent, as the licensee, Northcentral Technical College (NTC) decided the station and its $75,000 costs were too much. It shut the station down on August 31, and according to a spokesperson, has surrendered the license to the Commission. The station volunteers are hoping to get the school to transfer it to them, but it may be too late. In addition, this station has been operating under program test authority (or under the impression it was) since 2005. It has never filed for a license to cover, and the CP expires in November. This would also complicate matters, in trying to get all this done before the CP expires. There is an article in the Wausau Daily Herald. http://tinyurl.com/s9kfj
 
Does this look right?

Six whole watts, and one state employee?

119 volunteers and $75,000 budget for the employee and
electricity?

What's wrong with this picture?

Not sure where my post went in regards to this.... but.... Why in the HELL would an organization send the money to put up a radio stations and even before they get a license to cover they close it down?? What a waste of money! Someone was not thinking there!

Also their programming..... I am sure the Wausau area Palestinians are going to miss that Palestinian programmign they were carrying. And they said in the news article that there are very few outlets in Wausau?? I always thought that Wausau was well covered.

Palestinians and Hmong the same?

Better buy a map. Or better yet, better buy a clue.

And Microsoft Office with spellcheck.

If all you had to pay for were one employee and some electricity...it WOULD look right.

That, however, ignored the various other costs.
