.Station Under Pressure! .: WUML :.: 91.5fm :.: Lowell, MA :.: " The future of your radio station is in jeopardy. WUML, the station that YOU pay for, is having more time taken away from the students. Starting in the summer, the administration of this college plans to rob the students of 21 hours of airtime during primetime hours. If this goes into effect such classic shows as The Stress Factor, Soul Power, and Live From The Fallout Shelter, which is now its 19th year on the air, will be forced to be cut from the schedule. These 21 hours will be filled with broadcasts of NON-STUDENT Sports that are unrelated to this school. Why would they want to do this? Image branding and money. These games that will be broadcast are already currently being broadcast on WCAP. In addition to the 21 hours being stolen from the students, the administration also has plans to replace the majority of programming with non-student produced NPR (National Public Radio) programming. Which may mean the end of having a student run radio station on this campus. For those of you involved in student groups, how would you feel if the administration came in and completely changed around what your group stood for and how it operated? How would most students feel if the administration controlled almost every aspect of their dorm room?"
