Stevens Point Journal - Students past, present rally in support of campus station
Stevens Point Journal - Students past, present rally in support of campus station: "It's the 16-year-old's first job, and even though she doesn't get paid, the experience has been phenomenal, she said.
'I hadn't thought I would do anything like radio,' said Canales, who got involved with the station through her father, Jim, a community volunteer. 'I feel like I fit in even though I'm in high school.'
The elder and younger Canaleses were two of about 30 station supporters who showed up for a rally and press conference Friday on the 90FM steps. After it came to light earlier this week that UWSP is considering an affiliation with Wisconsin Public Radio - a decision many fear would severely curtail local programming - current and former station employees and volunteers organized the event to raise awareness about what they feel is at stake."
