Two years after KUSP went off the air, KSQD aspires to showcase local voices on a more manageable budget.
KCRW was outbid for the bankrupt station.
At least one noncommercial entity is reportedly looking to bid for KUSP’s license.
The station has broadcast for nearly 45 years on air, and online for more than 20.
Members of the station’s foundation will vote on the sale Wednesday.
Ferraro, formerly g.m. of WYEP in Pittsburgh, was named interim g.m. at the California station.
GM Terry Green had managed the community station for 12 years and loaned it $35,000.
Leaders of the station are still looking for a long-term plan for financial sustainability.
