Nashville's WNAZ (89.1) may be the next college station to be sold off

Students are selling “God Save WNAZ” tee-shirts on the campus of Nashville’s Trevecca Nazarene University, where the administration discloses it’s negotiating for the sale of the 43-year-old Class A facility. The Tennessean says “the school is operating in the black for its 19th consecutive year.” The problem is the estimated $1 million cost to upgrade its equipment. The buyer would also get three translators (93.9 in Gallatin, 99.5 in Clarksville and 101.9 in Lebanon), plus the full-power WNRZ, Dickson at 91.5. They currently simulcast the same “edgy” contemporary Christian fare, as one student put it. Trevecca would keep its AM station, Christian teaching WENO at 760. The Nashville Board of Radio-Info seems to think K-Love parent Educational Media Foundation is the most likely buyer. That discussion is happening here.
