"KVIE President and General Manager David Lowe said in a statement on April 9 that his organization only accepted the tower donation only after confirming the endowment board would not transfer it to CapRadio and that it 'could be sold into the commercial marketplace.'"

Meaning, I think, the Endowment Board was possibly going to sell the CapRadio tower to some for profit entity?

@cosmog
Even with non profits, it's about money underneath. They need funding and #CapRadio relied on the telecom leases on the tower to help funding. If KVIE takes ownership? Those lease revenues go to KVIE. ☹️

Y'all what in the world is happening to our public radio station? Apparently the Cap Radio Endowment Board just GAVE AWAY the Cap Radio broadcast tower to KVIE? Because the Board wants to force Sac State to sell its broadcast license to KVIE?  Am I tripping or is this bananas?

Wait, what the fuck? How do we fire the Capital Public Radio Endowment Board?

"In a bid that could dramatically reshape Northern California’s broadcasting landscape, Sacramento State is being asked to hand over control of its Capital Public Radio operation to KVIE-TV, the PBS nonprofit affiliate."

Here's the #CapRadio article on who's running for #Sacramento mayor in the March 5 primary #election. Updated with info on the two candidates who joined the race in December. I found out one of those two was disbarred in 2020. https://www.capradio.org/articles/2024/02/01/sacramento-2024-mayor-race-begins-with-first-official-candidate-announcement/

Interesting in the wake of the Capital Public Radio financial train wreck to see the #sacbee and #Sacramento State discover that students don't benefit from the KXJZ license or participate in the station in any meaningful way.

Here's a story I did... 20 years ago (?!) about just that very thing.

https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/radio-control/29527/

Much has changed since then. That was before CapRadio launched "Insight" and lots of other good stuff. But much is the same, especially the building of expensive new buildings and leaving students out of the picture.

My suggestion? There's a new #LPFM window opening next month.

https://www.prometheusradio.org/new-lpfm-stations-application-window-november

CSUS/CapRadio should try for a license for KSSU and also do a "KSSU on CapRadio" show. Also bring back Hey Listen, KZAP (on CapRadio) and Blues Party. And stop building new buildings and mismanaging funds, obvs.

I knew it. This is the other shoe drop I was waiting for. CapRadio has been financially mismanaged. Expansion to a costly new facility and event space downtown is part of the problem.

Sac State University is now taking the station into financial receivership, basically. This does not affect the programming side—which has problems of its own that have not been addressed (alienating audience by layoffs of popular on-air talent w/no warning).

Yikes. It would be nice to hear from some actual CapRadio folks about this audit and takeover by #SacramentoState. Given that Wood/Karlo started firing people as soon as they arrived on the scene, CSUS taking over the station seems like a scary proposition.

On the other hand, gratifying to see the auditors call out CapRadio for shutting students out programming/involvement with the station. That should have been addressed long ago.
