NKU buys stations

One of the 4 schools I was expelled from is buying 2 FM stations to expand the reach of its existing station.

Northern Kentucky University - which already owns WNKU - is purchasing WPFB-FM in Middletown, Ohio, and WPAY-FM in Portsmouth, Ohio, and will begin simulcasting WNKU on these signals.

Surely, all 4 people who still listen to radio are quite interested to hear this.

For years, WPFB-FM between Cincinnati and Dayton has programmed a country format known as The Rebel. The WPAY purchase though may be of greater impact, since it likely has the most powerful signal in its own region. None of these new signals will help in Bellevue, where WNKU is jammed by stations that aren't worth shit in the first place and won't fix their transmitters.

As you may recall, I was expelled from NKU in 1995 because of my political views. This touched off several years of wasted police resources and phony accusations. Years later, the suppression of dissent was continuing as NKU persecuted other students and professors who didn't toe the party line. The university also invited Bush to appear on campus and tried to shoo away protesters. Bush then praised NKU for what he saw as upholding free speech.

Persecution of anybody who displays even a touch of progressive politics is pandemic throughout Kentucky's entire university system. (Oddly, I never had a bit of trouble when I attended community college, which proves the problems I had at NKU were NKU's fault, not mine.)

It's possible that NKU keeps WNKU at arm's length from its fascism, so it's hard to tell whether buying 2 stations is a net improvement for the listening public. It's also unknown whether WNKU now uses the studio on campus that somebody once used as a restroom.

I'm not bitter at NKU buying 2 stations, because it could be much worse. If the stations were being sold to Brossart, I'd be filing complaints with the FCC already.
