Saving The WAWL
Students at Chattanooga State come together to protest the sale of the college’s radio station.
WAWL-FM, or “91 Rock, The Wall” as it is known, will soon going off the air on FM radio.
Administrators say the sale allows them to update equipment and bring the college’s mass communications program into the future.
But the students are not taking the sale lying down.
