As expected, the San Mateo (Calif.) Community College announced today (Dec. 7) it
is seeking a buyer for public broadcaster KCSM-TV. In June, the board said the sale was due to the station's projected $800,000 structural deficit.
Independent Public Media, a nonprofit consortium headed by WYBE founder John Schwarz and Ken Devine, former WNET executive, has already signaled its interest (
Current, Oct. 17). Parties may find information and download bid packets from
the college district's purchasing page online. Bids may be filed through Feb. 14, 2012.
