A special guest post from C-VILLE’s Coogan Brennan:
An afternoon community support rally for WTJU took on the air of a celebration Friday, after university administrators announced earlier in the week that they wouldn’t immediately change the station’s format.
Local rockers Invisible Hand and B.C. both put on performances and, despite the low turnout, the mood was high. "It’s a celebration of everything WTJU represents," said DJ Dave Moore, "And a testament of what the community can do."
"The important thing is seeing the community come together for common good," says event organizer Brandon Collins, "To be able to say: This is ours. It’s not about profit but what benefits the community."

Is it time for WTJU to celebrate?
