UNLV's KUNV/Las Vegas To Remain Independent

Independent

UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA-LAS VEGAS noncommercial Jazz KUNV (91.5 THE SOURCE)/LAS VEGAS will remain independent and not be taken over by NEVADA PUBLIC RADIO, at least for now, reports the LAS VEGAS SUN.

The school had struck a deal last year to hand over operation of the station, part of the UNLV school of journalism, to NEVADA PUBLIC RADIO, with the annual KUNV subsidy used for other educational purposes; with that deal falling through, the station will remain independent and run by a partly student, partly professional staff, and the school is hiring a new underwriting director and may expand its internship program and develop two more radio-focused classes.
