SALISBURY — This summer’s planned demolition of the
academic building that houses the headquarters of Delmarva Public Radio
may not spell its demise after all.
“We
are exploring various options to continue operations from another
location,” said Jason Curtin, the assistant director of the Salisbury
University Foundation, the university’s fundraising arm and owner of
DPR’s broadcasting license.
Salisbury
University has planned for years to raze Caruthers Hall to make way for
a new library. In September, foundation officials surprised the radio
outlet’s fans by disclosing they had hired a consultant to help chart
its fate.
Many fans interpreted the move as a first step toward shutting down DPR’s two stations or jettisoning them.
Their
fears were at least partially realized as the report suggested turning
over both stations to a new operator, likely an existing public radio
broadcaster in the region. Colorado-based Public Radio Capital also
recommended replacing WSDL 90.7’s National Public Radio format with
adult album alternative music and WSCL 89.5’s locally produced classical
content with a syndicated feed.
