GVR turns Auburn Community Radio over to the City of Auburn.
Thanks to the vision of Mayor Pete Lewis, the city of Auburn officially took control of Auburn Community Radio on Tuesday, August 8. Your humble correspondent, Paul Nelson, will stay on as a consultant, but the city makes the hard decisions as to how to serve the citizens of the town once known as Slaughter with community radio, including how/where to expand the signal to meet the needs of all local residents. After seven years invested in this project in one way or another, from working to bring LPFM to Auburn, to the development of this Part 15 station, burnout was becoming a distinct possibility for your humble ACR Founder, so there is now an attempt to avoid this condition and leave the radio to the Mayor’s office.
