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
