High School Radio in the face of budget cuts
I like learning more about high school radio, but many of them might as
well be a black hole for all the information they make public (i.e. through
news and through websites) about themselves. And since a lot of them are
small Class A or D, I can't listen to 'em over the air. Well, okay, I can
get WHHB Holliston at work in Medfield but they're only on after 2:30 or so...

With the really rough budget cuts hitting hard...does anyone know how high
schools are dealing with their radio stations? Are they just plodding
along for six hours a day? Shutting the station down? Turning it around
with aggressive fundraising and underwriting?
I imagine there's a fair amount of variation from station to station, but
I'm curious about 'em all. :-)
