 OK, let's jump to the next hurdle: except for such fare as "Hillbilly at Harvard" that seems to be hosted by Harvard
 Alumni, just about all of the rest of WHRB's programming is provided by students there. All over the country, some
 FM stations have sold their facilities or turned in their licenses because the students evinced little interest in radio. 
 If Crimsonites disdained to use their precious few hours of free time broadcasting to a nearly non-existent audience
 (and under new Arbitron policies, we can't even see what the station's listenership is any more), THEN would the licensee
 consider a sale with the proceeds going to some Harvard entity that could use the largesse?
