The June through August 2024 period was, at best, sluggish for station fundraising across several key performance indicators compared to the same period in 2023.

The new organization seeks to “catalyze the capital, new ownership structures, and business model transformations needed for established local and community news organizations to thrive and remain deeply grounded in their communities.”

Magura, who will join the station in September, is leaving WCTE in Cookeville, Tenn.
