**The fight to save KTRU goes on!**
Rice University is still trying to sell KTRU’s 91.7 FM frequency, broadcast tower and FCC license to the University of Houston. President Leebron announced yesterday that a purchase agreement has been signed, but the fight to save KTRU is far from over.
**Friends of KTRU have retained a law firm to battle the proposed sale of KTRU’s FCC license**
Friends of KTRU, a group of concerned students, alumni, and community members, has retained the law firm Paul Hastings to battle the proposed sale at the Federal Communications Commission, which conducts a public process to approve or deny any transfers of ownership of radio broadcast licenses. Visit savektru.org to read the press release announcing the beginning of the legal battle.

**In a few weeks, KTRU will need you to write a letter to the FCC**
Because the application for sale has not yet been filed, the FCC isn’t yet accepting letters from the public for the file that must be opened on the proposed sale. Please look out for an email from savektrulist@savektru.org in the next few weeks with information on how you can write to the FCC in support of KTRU keeping its license and frequency.
