Delmarva now faces the loss of a vital educational and cultural resource that serves all of the citizens in our area. Programming as we know it for the FM stations WSCL (89.5) and WSDL (90.7) based at Salisbury University may be discontinued.
These two stations have contributed to the attractiveness of our community and especially for those who value the arts. The changes being considered will reflect a considerable loss on a cultural and educational level, particularly for the children and youth in our community. A number of solutions to this challenge are in the offing and are under consideration.
A public meeting will be held at the Lewes Public Library at 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 15, to help mobilize an effort to deal with this issue. Please take some time to attend and help save this very precious community arts and education resource.

Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools.
