Board of Trustees to host special meeting to discuss future of Q-TV, regular meeting to follow

By Greg Horner, Senior Editor.

The Delta College Board of Trustees has announced a special meeting to discuss the college’s participation in the FCC spectrum auction to be held on Jan. 12. The meeting will be held in the Board Room B-151 at 4:30 p.m. Part of the agenda includes a vote to go to closed session, likely to discuss what action the Board will take. Jan. 12 is the last day that those responsible for the decision will be able to speak publically about the auction; afterward, they will be mandated to follow the FCC’s “quiet period” to prevent collusion among participating stations. The Board has made no public decision on what the auction will mean for the future of Delta’s WDCQ Q-TV.

The special meeting agenda is as follows:
