Re: WGVU TV and Radio interruption
The fiber optic cable cut was due to an on campus construction project. It was between Manitou Hall and the Transmitter facility on Campus. Only WGVU was impacted. Full Restoration was completed by 6pm.

Re: Cumulus is whoring its FM signals
Simple…
Cumulus rents tower space from WGVU.
GVSU Athletics purchases airtime for their sports from Cumulus.
The two are not related.

Re: Rob Brandt retiring
I doubt they will hire anyone full time at this point as it's all about money. If Kim isn't the best fit she'll at least be a decent fill in until a decision is made. We'll see who is on this afternoon.

Re: Rob Brandt retiring
Rob is a class act. His FB post only stated the facts nothing more. I hope he lands on his feet somewhere. The WLAV ratings are finally starting to go back up and this isn't going to help that!

Re: City of Grand Haven evicts WGHN-FM from tower due to lease violations
The two station share an antenna out of the same facility so if the power was cut to the building then both would be off. Those two station are fairly low power. An Electrical bill of $84k?
