University entertains three WDUQ bidders - News




University entertains three WDUQ bidders - News
The University is entertaining three bids, but adds that they do not have to accept any of them. If the bids do not meet their expectations, the University said it will wait until the market is better. Pittsburgh Public Media is among the group of three bids being considered.
The university reiterated that owning and financially supporting the station did not fit within its mission. According to University spokesperson Bridget Fare the sale of WDUQ was related to improving the University for students. "President Charles J. Dougherty said the question is whether WDUQ fits Duquesne's mission of serving God through serving students."
The University says it feels no obligation to sell WDUQ to a group that wants to air NPR news programming.
