Not Shocked
About 50 college radio stations are joining in a protest against a deal that is allowing Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) to air their programming during the day on WRAS in Atlanta. The protest is not surprising. Similar protests have been staged in other instances where Public Radio programming was allowed on college stations or when a larger public radio entity buys a college station.Fighting for Air Time
The deal allows college DJ's to run their own programming between 7p and 5a. DJ's displaced by the deal can be heard on-line. The deal also allows GPB to reach the Atlanta market for the first time. Students will be allowed learning opportunities with GPB as part of the agreement.The original start date was June Second. It is now June 29th.
