CHUO, University of Ottawa: Chilling example of how college radio funding could always be worse

by

Probably because of my reading about WHPK’s funding, Google recommended I read this story:

Students vote to end funding for campus radio station CHUO | CBC News
The University of Ottawa’s independent campus radio station, CHUO 89.1FM, is losing the funding it gets from students after they voted to end the levy.
www.cbc.ca

Apparently it was a tiny minority of students who made this vote—and the station was pretty much blindsided by this even being an issue that was voted on.

Looking for a bit more, I read this:

CHUO FM a ‘priceless’ institution, says station alumni
Grant Stein, acting station manager, said CHUO volunteer board has yet to meet to discuss the results, but object to the referendum.

I hope they’re able to get it worked out!
