WCUW Worcester Off-air

[Mike Malone]

Non-Commercial 91.3FM WCUW in Worcester is in trouble again after their 
transmitter failed last week.  In an email being circulated by  staff 
members, it is stated  that there is no money to repair the transmitter or 
to pay increased BMI  & ASCAP fees.  The email is asking for contributions 
to return the station to the air.  WCUW began in the early 1970s as the 
Clark University radio station but became an independent entity late in the 
1970s.  In the last several years the station been plagued by failing 
equipment, a lack of funds, and questions of the effectiveness of the 
management.  Worcester Magazine did a piece on these problems a few weeks 
ago (it's about half way down the page)
