While the renovations of D Vickers Hall have posed a promising future for the Department of Communication and Media Studies, the transition period has left many programs in a stage of limbo.
KSLU, Southeastern’s FM radio station, is among the entities that will be directly impacted by D Vickers’ renovations. With the construction period ahead, the department must now consider how to handle the satellite and terrestrial equipment needed to keep the station on air.
Department Head Dr. James O’Connor said there are three main possibilities for KSLU during and after construction.
“They can either build around it, move it or transition to internet radio. Maintaining it while construction is going on–it could be anywhere from $25-80,000. When you’re talking about a 20 million dollar building, that’s really not that big. But, that’s not the major consideration. The major consideration is the logistics of doing it. Is this a viable way of doing it,” O’Connor said.
In a move that could allow more small companies and new broadcasters to take part in this summer’s auction of 140 radio construction permits, the Federal Communications Commissions is relaxing its rules to potentially make more operators eligible for new entrant biding credits

Delaware State Police are warning residents about a recent phone scam reported in Delaware in which someone poses as a family member in trouble.
During these most recent scam calls, the recipient is instructed to withdraw a large amount of money, and a courier responded to the residence and collected the money, said Master Cpl. Heather Pepper of the Delaware State Police. If someone calls and advises a family member is in trouble and needs money sent to them, she said, immediately attempt to contact the family member to verify their status. Never assume because the person calling knows the family members’ name that the request for money is valid, Pepper said.
