WELCOME, FRIEND OF WRVU!

SO WHERE ARE WE NOW?

Things seem to be quiet as of late. A little too quiet?

Vanderbilt Student Communications (VSC) and WPLN/WFCL are in a lease agreement only. That is to say, in order for WRVU’s on-air license transfer to occur, several hurdles have to be overcome by the VSC and WPLN/WFCL.

1) WPLN/WFCL has to pay the VSC $3.5 million
2) Any license transfer requires an open FCC mandated 30 Day Public Comment period where Vanderbilt students and Nashville Community can comment on the travesty that is the sale of WRVU.

Regardless of what you have been led to believe, no WRVU license transfer can occur without the above being successfully completed.

It has been 9 months since the announced agreement and none of these hurdles have been met. This could mean that WPLN is having a tough time meeting the terms of the agreement, or it could mean that the VSC and WPLN are waiting for the outcry to dissipate.

One thing is certain:
The listening public and Vanderbilt students are taking the hit on this one.
-Vanderbilt student DJ involvement is down and ‘Dead Air’ is up.
-Much of WFCL, the classical music format station that is occupying WRVU’s 91.1 signal, is canned programming and not generated locally. How is this serving the public?
-The empty promises of the VSC remain largely unfulfilled.
-Unless you are one of the vultures set to skim cash from this transaction, The VSC proposed sale of WRVU’s license to WPLN is good for NO ONE, least of all Vanderbilt students and the Nashville Community.

What Would Cornelius Do?

If Cornelius Vanderbilt, the no-nonsense Vanderbilt University founder, were around today, we suspect that he would not be very pleased with the shortsighted and ill-conceived VSC proposal of eradicating a 60 year venerable institution that is WRVU, thereby significantly diminishing Vanderbilt’s cultural relevance and erode its good standing with the Nashville community.
