WLIU On The Auction Block

A quick note, and Happy Monday!

WLIU on Long Island is up for sale or is available for some sort of creative partnership, according to Tom Taylor of Radio-Info. WLIU’s owner, Long Island University is going to stop supporting the NPR-affiliate in October for financial reasons.  The station is mostly news and jazz, though it does play some classical, and one of the announcers is Bonnie Grice, who is well known to those of us in the classical world.

We’ll keep you posted.

  1. Yes, Richard, it is the same Wally Smith. A few articles I have turned up refer to him and Bonnie Grice as husband and wife, though I don’t know if that’s currently the case.
