WIUX, the student radio station at Indiana University, recently learned that their LP-FM frequency, 100.3, is under threat. WYGB, a country radio station in a near county is moving to take a large position on the frequency in the near future, and in a troubling FCC policy, the commercial station wins.

More news from the WIUX position, and from the campus newspaper. WYGB's website has no information posted on the matter.

From a personal perspective, I was excited to see 100.3 being used again, it being the old frequency of WQAX. It will be emotionally sad for it to fall of the dial again, worse yet to see it move from a campus-community focus to a commercial one.
