SaveWCAL Wins a Victory for Public Radio Supporters and WCAL Donors
Despite strong opposition, St. Olaf College sold its WCAL 89.3 FM radio station and Rochester's KMSE 88.7 to MPR for a reported $10.5 million four years ago. Unfortunately — or fortunately, depending on who's doing the talking — St. Olaf College was holding about $3 million in endowment funds for the station at the time of the sale. Three years later, SaveWCAL attorney Michael W. McNabb requested that the Rice County District Court declare the sale void due to the conflict with donors.
