Is KTRU really through?

Last night I published a blog where I expressed some serious skepticism about the news I heard about U of H possibly purchasing Rice’s KRTU radio station. I felt like there wasn’t enough confirmed information to be alarmed about the situation but in the afternoon, I received some disheartening news: the purchase took place earlier this morning. After talking to an inside source I learned that at a meeting of the University of Houston board of regents, members voted to buy the station. At seven tonight, KTRU will be holding a press conference covering the controversial purchase. Stay tuned for more and cross your fingers that the new configuration doesn’t ruin the good programming on KTRU. Be afraid, very afraid.
