November 15, 2004

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) formally authorized St. Olaf College to sell radio stations WCAL 89.3 FM in Northfield and affiliate KMSE 88.7 FM in Rochester, Minn., to Minnesota Public Radio. MPR issued the announcement Nov. 15. The purchase agreement, signed by the parties in August, was contingent upon the FCC's consent. Under this agreement, the sale must now be finalized within 10 business days, or by Nov. 26. The FCC rejected a petition filed by a group opposing the sale.
