A long-time high school radio station near Philadelphia may be obliged to switch off soon.
According to a story by the Associated Press, students at Haverford High School students say the 55-year run of WHHS(FM), one of the oldest high school stations, may end if it is booted from the airways because Radio One has plans to use the frequency.
The article quotes students and alumni upset about the prospect, including the Oscar-nominated producer of “Lost in Translation,” a station alum.
The FCC has approved a transaction in which Radio One will be allowed to use 107.9 MHz for a 6 kW Class A commercial station based in Pennsauken, N.J. WHHS is a Class D.
