KPLU
KPLU General Manager Joey Cohn talking about the station's fundraising effort to become independent.

Last month, Pacific Lutheran University and the University of Washington announced they will open the door for an outside group to bid on KPLU. That means the station and its listeners must raise at least $7 million, quickly, to become independent.

KPLU's Kirsten Kendrick spoke with station General Manager Joey Cohn about the fundraising effort that's underway now and what a community-licensed KPLU would look like.
