The Good
The Inconsiderate Mixtape is back on the air. Though WRVU decided a keep the 25 Community DJ limit in place for another year, i made the cut this time. So if you live in Nashville, you can hear me every Thursday from 10am to Noon at 91.1fm. If you don't live here, you can stream it at wrvu.org. Once i figure out my technical difficulties, i'll also be posting the shows here for download.
The Bad
The same day i had my first show--and i'd like to think the timing is pure coincidence--the company which owns WRVU (it's not actually owned by Vanderbilt) announced that they were considering the sale of the broadcast license. If they do so, it will take WRVU off the air, where it has been a presence for nearly 60 years. This would be a great loss to the school, the city and anyone who loves music. There are a few places to make you feelings known so please visit the VSC's page at www.vandymedia.org/wrvu and go to http://www.savewrvu.com/ to find out more about the whole ordeal and how you can be involved. There is also a savewrvu Facebook page. The board has said they will not make any decisions until after the new year. It will be important not to let the fight fade during that time. So please speak your mind and spread the word to anyone you know in Nashville.
