Pacific plans to sell KUOP Tracy Press, Tracy CA: "Cavanaugh said he expected the buyer would maintain KUOP�s current format of syndicated public radio shows, but could expand the station�s offerings to include more locally produced content. A buyer also could change KUOP into a more traditional college radio station, playing music aimed at the student demographic, or make it a religious radio station."
Editorial: Campus needs to ‘take five’ in porn debateUCSD Guardian Online: "Oh, the irony. Two years ago, Earl Warren College administrators shut down Warren College Television for broadcasting the beheading of an American contractor in Iraq. Last week, students fled to WCTV to broadcast political footage banned by Student-Run Television censors. When students must turn to the university administration to protect their First Amendment rights from the wrath of their own student government, all UCSD undergraduates should worry. While the failures of all those involved in the controversy � from John Muir College senior Steve York�s shameless media pandering to Thurgood Marshall College Senior Senator Kate Pillon�s personal vendetta � should be acknowledged, several key issues threaten not only the future of student speech but the legitimacy of the student government. "
Under a new voice - Life!: "'I want to make certain that WMUL maintains that status as one of the nation's best college radio stations and remain competitive in all of the contests that we have been so successful in over the years,' Reed said. 'I think the staff past and present has worked hard to make the station what it is today.'"
CMU senior Eileen LeTarte of Memphis, Mich., won the Best Technical Production award for 'Makenna Paige: Tales of a Redheaded Reporter,' a radio drama that aired on WMHW. The station also received a Best Feature nomination for 'Central Beat,' the station�s half-hour weekly news magazine. MHTV was nominated for Best Comedy for 'Welcome Back Todder,' an episode of its 'Deskies' series."
RWonline - The Big Picture: "The FCC's Broadcast Flag rules were specifically limited to digital TV broadcasting. Once the rules were overturned, however, the subsequent effort to obtain congressional authorization of the FCC in this area attracted the record industry's interest. Seizing the opportunity to have any grant of FCC authority for enforcement of content protection also apply to digital radio broadcasts of copyrighted music, the recording industry is now deeply engaged in the fray. So now, both the MPAA and the RIAA are roaming the halls of Congress attempting to garner support for relatively broad powers to be bestowed on the FCC in this regard. Observers have noted some important differences between the DTV Broadcast Flag and any radio equivalent. These differences ultimately may cause Congress to treat the two digital broadcast media separately in any grant of FCC authority on the matter. Meanwhile the RIAA has hinted that rather than the Broadcast Flag approach, it may want all digital radio broadcasts to be encrypted prior to transmission, using one of the technologies described above.

Panel to weigh reinstatement of student-run TV station: "A special panel will consider whether a student-run television station at Syracuse University will be allowed back on the air.

The Phoenix Online - WSRN story misses good shows: "The recent column entitled �Finding the gems in WSRN�s fall lineup� was well-written as well as highly informative. College radio is an integral part of college culture, and I have been very impressed by the quality of shows on WSRN, which challenge those of any professional station."
Top national recognition given to student media: "Ithaca College Television won top honors in five categories, more than any other college television station in the nation. These included Best TV Comedy, Best TV Documentary/Public Affairs, Best TV Drama, Best TV Promo and Best Student Media Web site. "
Students are tuned out to campus radio: "Many students are unaware, but out of the unassuming, low-ceilinged basement of Memorial Auditorium, Stanford students and local volunteers with a passion for music and radio broadcast their voices and selected sounds to the Stanford community and beyond. The product of their labor is KZSU 90.1 FM, the campus radio station. With two studios and a music collection totaling approximately 120,000 albums, their programming is best described as eclectic. According to senior John Holgate, the station�s general manager, KZSU uses a 500-watt transmitter located in the hills behind campus. This signal reaches from San Francisco to Oakland and south to Gilroy. However, even though it is broadcast from right on campus, the radio station does not appear on the radar screens of most students on campus."
Who needs a radio station? UAH turns to podcasting: "College radio stations are scruffy and clandestine. They consistently introduce innovative music to a wider audience. Jane's Addiction, Nirvana and R.E.M. all cultivated a following on college radio before leaping onto the pop charts. But what happens when your university can't get its own station? The University of Alabama in Huntsville has turned to podcasting, an innovative means of distributing audio and video programs via the Internet. "
Student program racks up five more Emmy wins: "Alt.news 26:46, a program created and produced by SIUC students, keeps increasing its long list of awards won against paid professional programming networks.
On Saturday, the monthly alternative news show walked away with five regional awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The ceremony was at the Hyatt Regency in Union Station at St. Louis.
This year's trophies will be added to the many that the group has won on the national or regional levels in the past six years.
The show's success is because of the hard work and creativity of the students that put it together, said Jon Hayes, a senior in radio-television and former executive producer.
Hayes said alt.news won best student production and competed against network program affiliates to win the other four awards. The level of commitment and talent put forward by SIUC students is seen in the ability to be on the same level with network programming, Hayes said. "
