Inside Higher Ed, an online source for higher education news and opinion, posted a story this week about Miami University’s proposal for university-owned public radio station WMUB-FM (88.5) to be operated by Cincinnati Public Radio. The Dayton Daily News reported this story on Jan. 24.

Here’s the first portion of Inside Higher Ed’s coverage:

Don’t blame video this time. At Miami University, budget cuts killed the radio star.
In the face of a projected $22 million budget shortfall, Miami of Ohio plans to cut more than $500,000 by ceding control of its radio station — WMUB 88.5 FM — to Cincinnati Public Radio. As a result, 10 university employees associated with the station will lose their jobs and all locally produced content will come to an end in March. Though WMUB will remain an affiliate of National Public Radio — maintaining such popular programs as “Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered” — it will simulcast the feed of a station located about 40 miles to the south, in Cincinnati.
