Lawsuit by former listeners
89.7 FM was formerly WMCU, a Christian radio station owned by Trinity University.
On October 19, 2007, the Christian Family Coalition spearheaded a lawsuit brought by two local residents, who filed suit against American Public Media and Trinity University and its officers, seeking an injunction and $15,000 in damages for the plaintiffs and an injunction to block the sale of WMCU and format change. The station signed back on a week prior to what was originally planned, partly in an effort to thwart any potential legal action prior to Federal Communications Commission approval of the sale.[3]
