...at least that's the way it sounds. From Tom Taylor's newsletter (sorry, I can't find a link for this)
In Piedmont, South Carolina, the Elks sell to the “Lost Souls Youth Development Corporation.” The names alone make this worth a mention. The “Benjamin Banneker Lodge No. 364 of I.B.P.O.E. of W.” is a local Elks Lodge. It originally won the license for low power FM WXRU-LP at the end of the FM dial (107.9). Now it’s filing to transfer the license to the Lost Souls group. That outfit says it’s “a non-profit organization for youth radio broadcasting and education in beauty and barber training/sales distribution of hair products.” That specialty may be unique in the world of radio licensees. It has a laudable goal – helping “youths and young adults…to become self-sufficient apprentices, entrepreneurs, journalists and radio broadcasters.” You can’t knock that.
Sounds like they might make this a training ground for young people. I don't remember the name of the company, but years ago, some radio training network would buy time on some small non-commercial stations and allow their students to host 1 hour shows. (They would do it on reel-to-reel.) The station would air the shows so the students all actually had experience for their resumes.
Not a bad little signal SW of Greenville. https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=WXRU-FL
