WLUW Update: More on Loyola Universities WLUW-FM. Read this Chicago Reader article. The bottom line on this story, best summed up to me by longtime CMA member Ron Kunde, is that WBEZ did not harm the station as was feared when it took over five years ago, and that we'll just have to wait and see whether or not Loyola will improve the station this time around as its Jesuit mission would suggest. The alternatives are more of the same or, worse, additional ad creep.

Tell Congress to approve LPFM in urban areas! More co-sponsors needed! Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-9th) is the only Illinois lawmaker in the U.S. House or Senate co-sponsoring the low power FM bills at this writing. Read on and take action. Click here.
