Bill O’Connor of Lewes Friends of Delmarva Public Radio, asked
organization members to reach out to others who listen to its stations
to join in a letter-writing campaign to keep them on-air. The group
wants letters mailed to elected officials who might be able to speed
Salisbury University Foundation’s decision.
Lewes — The Lewes arm of Friends of
Delmarva Public Radio has grown tired of waiting for a response to its
proposal to save two stations owned by Salisbury University Foundation
and will seek answers from other authorities.
The grass roots friends organization is encouraging WSCL-FM and
WSDL-FM listeners and supporters to write more letters to Janet
Dudley-Eschbach, Salisbury University president.
The group said it would also seek assistance from Maryland and
Delaware elected officials who it thinks should be at the table
participating in deciding Delmarva Public Radio’s future.
The friends submitted a proposal to the university in November and
say they were told they would receive a response by the end of January;
group organizers said they’ve heard nothing.
Jason Curtin, Salisbury University Foundation interim executive
director, said the university is considering several options and could
make them public this month.
“Whatever the university is doing is a dark secret,” John Mateyko
told a gathering of about 50 people Jan. 30 at a friends’ meeting at
Lewes Public Library.
He said the university has a history of concealing decisions about
Delmarva Public Radio as evidenced by a decade of failing to make radio
advisory-panel meeting agendas public and illegally prohibiting the
public from attending meetings.
