Marfa Brings Public Radio Back to Midland

Marfa Public Radio is on the verge of bringing public radio back to Midland and Odessa, Texas. 


Marfa Public Radio finalized its purchase of KOCV-FM radio from Odessa College in December for $150,000 in cash and another $150,000 in sponsorships over 10 years after the radio station won the bid for the frequency in February.


An ascertainment of community needs will be conducted soon. Station Manager Tom Michael says that the station will be programmed out of Marfa for a while, but plans are to localize the content.


There's more at OA on-line.
