On Monday, WBSR, A Community / Student-Run Station Sponsored By Brown University, Loses Its Signal, Its Spot On The FM Dial But Not, Its Staff Hopes, Its Listeners.
But on Monday, WBSR, a community / student-run station funded by Brown Varsity, loses its signal, its spot on the FM dial but not, its staff hopes, its listeners.
“We remain a school radio station,” declared Ryan Lester, a senior at Brown and BSR’s CEO. “That’s whether we have a terrestrial signal or not.”
After fourteen years of leasing broadcast time from WELH (88.1), BSR becomes a terrestrial-signal have-not.
Two weeks ago, BSR learned its broadcasting lease, which ends July 31, won’t be replenished.
Last year, Wheeler College, owners of WELH, increased the station’s wattage to 4,000 from 150 permitting statewide broadcasting, according to Laurie Flynn, the school’s communications director, and modified the station’s plans. Flynn said Wheeler will make “big” changes at its station, though won’t communicate them for no less than a week.
“It will be excellent for Rhode Island,” Flynn related. “We are very thrilled about what we are about to announce.”
The people at BSR sixty five scholars and 35 non-students aren’t as worked up about the news .
“We were definitely a little disappointed,” said John Foley, BSR’s co-publicity director.
When the dissatisfaction went away, BSR staffers made an attitude adjustment, deciding to turn lemons into well-known lemonade, investing their energy on the web.
“This is a big opportunity for us to make headway in the online world and be a national leader,” Foley claimed.
BSR has been online (www.bsrlive.com/) for a few years. Now, it is going to be entirely online as it loses its nine p.m.-to-3 a.m. Broadcast slot on WELH.
Being without a traditional “terrestrial” signal, Lester said, is a loss.
“People can hit your number at random,” he said. “It’s a little more tricky with the Internet.”
But having a robust Web presence, Lester said, is vital. WELH’s leasing call, Lester asserted, has given BSR impetus, or perhaps sudden requirement, to aggressively pursue a better Net presence.
“We might be in a position to build a great Web and rock radio stations for ourselves,” Lester said. “But building a great Web radio platform for college radio is a goal.”
In the year, Foley claimed, several school radio stations have lost their license, largely as the universities sold them. BSR didn’t own a license, but leased time on the open market, and, in the case of the new WELH lease, couldn’t compete.
WELH received applications to lease airtime from a few affiliations, including BSR, Foley said.
“We’re well deep set in the community,” Foley declared. “Ultimately, I would need to believe the call came down to a money matter.”
Foley wouldn’t disclose how much BSR paid for its lease last year and how much it offered for next year.
BSR is a free-form station with eclectic programming from rock to hip-hop to Cape Verdean. Its roots return to the Brown Radio Network, established in 1936, that also spawned WBRU, a 20,000-watt FM station that’s independent of the varsity, and terrestrial.
BSR would still welcome a lease with an earthly radio station, if one presents itself. But , Foley said, “there aren’t plenty of options.”
So for now, Lester declared, BSR may continue to offer music and talk radio, although not on the radio.
“Taking away the terrestrial signal doesn’t take away what makes BSR BSR.” as reported tagza.com.
