We follow up on Nevada Public Radio’s proposal to take over programming on KUNV, the community radio station owned by the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, that we first reported on last week. We hear from a volunteer programmer, Ken Lange, who opposes the deal, and from Flo Rogers, CEO of Nevada Public Radio, who explains the story behind the proposal and why she thinks it’s good for the station. We also talk with Kylie O’Rourke, the station manager of KUNV’s student-run sister station, The Rebel, heard on the HD2 signal.

This is rare look at this kind of potential deal, before it is decided upon by the university administration. It’s a must-listen for anyone in college or community radio.
