The CMU Board of Trustees announced today plans to purchase WFUM-TV in Flint from the University of Michigan. The board voted unanimously to allocate one-million dollars from university reserves to purchase the station. The money will be repaid by CMU Public Broadcasting.
The aquisition means local public television programming will continue to remain available to people living in the Greater Flint and Genessee County area. The move increases the potential television audience for WCMU from its current 2.4-million viewer to over 8-million people.
