Since, as you stated, the operations, programming, and fundraising will be "folded into" WGLT and since Bradley will not physically house the station, it would seem that WCBU is, indeed, moving away from Peoria. Further, as to the station's limited growth, please note that all staffing must be approved by BU; there has been an interim manager at WCBU for over 3 years and other vacancies have not been filled. As to BU's funding, please clarify that of the $347,000 provided to WCBU, only $175,000 is an actual cash contribution. As to moving costs, Roberts said the move "could be as high as $700,00" not "almost a million dollars". As noted in a previous comment, your chart indicates that WCBU exceeds WGLT's performance in weekly listeners and metro AQH share. So if, "the priority at BU is Business", BU is not getting high grades in accuracy or transparency.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631185551711573774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600560384355436278.post-32769158611545328792019-01-07T09:01:09.020-08:002019-01-07T09:01:09.020-08:00"WCBU has already lost significant listening ..."WCBU has already lost significant listening in Peoria to WGLT via a translator signal."<br /><br />Unless I'm missing something, your chart shows the opposite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
